Array " mtv. Daily Edition No. 1267 Nelson, British [Columbia, Saturday, February 15, 1902 Eleventh Year DOES IT SHOW FLUNKEYISM ? Mr. Wheeler Thinks Americans too Effusive Over the Prince. Grosvenor Insists on Courtesy to Representative Visitors. Washington, Feb. 14.���The monotony of a private pension bill in the house today was enlivened by a very sensational speech by Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky, in denunciation of what he denominated "flunkeyism" to foreign countries. He took the rooent statements emanating from continental cabinets regarding the attitude of Great Ilritain during thc Spanish war as a text for a wholesale attack upon the trend of America's recent diplomacy. Ho severely scored Secretary llay and doclared that if Lord Pauncefote had sought, as alleged, to circumvent us during the war of 1898, the sooner he was shipped across tho seas, the better. He also criticized the pres ident for his reported intention to send his daughter to the coronation of King Edward and protested against the official reception ot Prince Henry. Thero was a sequel to Mr. Wheeler's speech later in the day when Mr. Grovenor scoured the floor and replied at length to what the Kentuok- ian had said. As to Mr. Wheeler's denial of a statement regarding the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1860, Mr. Grosveror declared that he could personally bear witness to the truth of bis assertion, for he himself had seen the prince when he first sot foot on Amoncan soil. At Niagara, as a young man, be had listened to the prince's speech, he said, with great interest. He denominated Mr. Wheeler's remark about the forthcoming visit of Priace Henry as a "bitter attack upon the President of the United States, thu house, and the Senate, and iuoidentially upon all with whom the prince would come iu contact." As to Lafayette's visit, lie insisted that the marquis bore a royal commission, and in that connection he said be did not care to commit himself unreservedly to the fnondship of France, whioh country was fighting her enemies on American soil, and attempted to get into a fight with the United States before George Washington diod. Just at the time when the American people were to be put to the test as to whether they were gentlemen, he said, it was most unfortunate that this protest should come against the reception of Prince Henry. The speech of the gentleman from Kentucky would be exploited in Europe tomorrow, on the eve of the prince's departure, as the message ot American people to the guest. Mr. Wheeler interposed at this point to say that he should gladly welcome auy gentleman from abroad ; what he objected to, was tbe official color to be given to the visit. Then aa Mr. Grosvenor proceeded to read what he said criticizing the president fur making a new precedent in connection with the coronation of King Edward, Mr. Wheeler interrupted to say that whilo lie hail no desire to bring the matter into the discussion, what be bad deplored was the report th��Jk the president Intended to send a member of his family to the coronation. "Oh, if it is simply a matter of a young girl going tn the coronation of a :-'i'ntlemon and lady," observed Mr. UroBvenor, ''1 will not pursue it." Continuing, Mr. Grosvenor asserted that within his personal knowledge he would say that in sending a deputation to the coronation of Kiog lid ward, the present occupant of the White House had simply oarried ont the plans of the deceased president, who had already selected the nead of the commission. If the constituents ol thu gentleman from Kentucky were polled, he did not think that five per cent, would condemn the president. "So far as the young lady is concerned," he added, "I can tell the pentleman one thing, she would give great deal of trouble if she term "little Dutchman" which Mr. Wheeltr had applied to Prince Henry, and his remarks about his indifference to the good will of tho (lerman people. Mr. Grosvenor commented upon his language, saying that while the gentleman might be indifferent now as to ! lho good will of the Germans, it would be different in tho fall, 'when persimmons were ripe.1 " Mr. GrDsvenor described at some length, the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1860, his tour of the country, and the honors showered upon him by President liiichanan, who be said, rushed out of tbe White House and met him with extended arms as if ho had been "traditional prodigal son." As to the visit of Prince Henry, he was a brother of tbe German Emperor. He was nut a Dutchman, but an European, a German, he was an admiral of the German navy, the same who had been sent to Manlia to protect German interests, and when oue of his ships got in the way, Dewey had intormed him that if the ship did not get out of the way in short order there would be trouble. "Then he took it away like a gentleman," remarked Mr. Grosvenor,smid laughter, G3ULD ESTATE MUST PAY. ONLY IRON MINES COST LESS TO WORK Judge's Order Granted For Settlement of Debts of Anna Gould. New York, Feb. 14,���Judge La- combe, in the United States circuit court, today handed down an order in the suit of Eugene Fish, of Paris, France, against Anna Gould, Countess Castellane, and George J., Howard, Edwin, and Helen Gould, as executors and trustees ef the late Jay Gould.

Y., Feb. 14.-This afternoon while a heavy steam crane was at work engaged in cleaning up the wreckage of a former accident, tbe Buffalo local appeared on the main line, and Michael Murphy, of this city, the engineer of Ihe crane becoming confused, swung the crane over the main track, ditching the liuffalo local.

London, Feb.l4.-LeBd, ��1', 12s,6d. New York, Feb. 14-Close. Bar silver, 55 l-4o. Mexican dollars, 48 3-4c. Lead, firm, ��4 1-8. Copper.dull, 12 3-8 and 12 5-8. ill Keeper at Carmanah point telegraphed Three Dollars a Ton the Estimated Cost io**y that his sona wl,ohsd b3en along t of Mining and Treating the Ore of Boundary. Alabama Mines, With Colored Labor, Alone in the World Show a Cheaper Ore Production. Wm. M. Brewer, representative of tha New York Engineering a'ud Mining Journal, came in yesterday from the Boundary. Among the first statements he made to the representative of The Minei was that he was convinced that the mines of the Boundary could mine and treat ore for 83 a ton. Tbis might not pay interest on tbe investment tut it would make an allowance for wear and tear. Asked if this was unusually low, he said he believed it was the lowest cost at which any metalliferous mines of tne world were worked with the possible exception of the iron miaes of Alabama, and thore colored labor is used. Going fnrther into details he said tbat the ore bodies were so large, the quantity of timber reqnired so small, and the ore was such a perfect flux in itself, that these lesults could be obtained. By the system of mining now adopted pait of the ore is left to fill up the stope until it is worked out to the surface so that the drill may be set on it. When one stope is finished this loose ore Will be taken out, and when all in a single stope is considered he thought that tbe cost would be about as he had stated. In two mines he bad seen ore blocked out that was 120 feet eaoh way. He had thought that when oopper went down to 12 cents or 11 cents that it wonld be all off with the Boundary, but now he believed that it could stand ten- cent or possibly nine-cent copper. Speaking as to the department of the miuing industry of the province from whioh greatest results might be expected, he said that he thought the great mainstay would be the gold- copper mines. These ere bodies occurred of such immense size that the amount that would be procured from them was very largo. He did not look upon the free milling mines as of such importance, as they were wider distributed and would likely be fewer in number. The silver-leaJ mines wore the next best to placer mines for the ' poor man, but were such the future of them he did not consider so bright. All thc mining industry of the province requires, in Mr. Brewer's estimation, is not to be hampered with taxes and too much legislation. Tbe tax on tbe output was a most unfair one. He would suggest a tax by which the vaoant claims would be made to pay as much as those that are onerated, or revert to the government. At present a very large portion of the province was mineral claims an d held by those who would neither work or sell them. In consequence naming was being done un tbem and Mie province was getting little revenue from the owners. As the system of taxation Is now the man wbo helps tho development of tbe province has to pay taxes for His enterprise. He would take the taxes of mines an assess all upon a valuation of the surface.* Mr Brewer in discussing the metal markets said that so long as Canada was dependent oo tne New York and London markets for the sale of lead, silver and copper, much better conditions than the present could not be expected. The first thing was to secure the home trade lor Canadian metals and after that to look for the same markets that the others sell in. The Canadians should procure seoretly and accurately all possible information regarding the price that can be realised for the products of Canada in Hawaii, China and Japan in par- tiular. There should be agents in those parts ready to give accurate information as to what Canada has to sell which could be given to those entitled to it. Ten British Columbia would ship copper or lead, indepen- ent of what anyone else is doing, to the people who wish to buy. He understood that there was a refinery in Seattle that had already sent upward of 100,000 ounces of silver to the Asiatic markets, and probably made more out of it than if it had been sold at home. It was the same with the lead and the copper. STEAMERS FOR SIBERIA. Russian Duties on American Goods Will Delay C.P.R. Line. Toronto, Feb. 14.���A visit of rather more than usual interest was that of Wm. Whyte, of the C. P. R., to this city. Mr. Whyte is assistant to President Shaughnessy, and his headquait- ers are at Winnipeg. He arrived from Montreal, and will return there when his mission here is concluded. While in .Toronto he is the guest of E. C. Irving, general manager of tho Brad- street company. The objeot of Mr. Whyte's visit is to Interview the'gov- crnment regarding thoir plan for tbe development of New Ontario.in which the C.P. R. is prepared to heartily co- perate. Details will be arranged later. Speaking of the proposed C. P. R. line from Vanoonver to Siberia, Mr. Whyte said that ou acoount of the very high tariff imposed by RuBsia against Amerioan products, nothing will bo done towards the projcot for at least six months. While tbe tariff does not yet apply to Canadian goods, such a line as proposed could not be operated successfully without depending largely on American freight as well as Canadian. An agent of tne company is located at Vladivostuck collecting information of the amount and value of American and Canadian imports at that poit. In view ol the urgent need of revenue by the'Russiao gov ernment, Mr. Whyte does not look for any reduction in tbe tariff against the United States. FIT/.SIMMONS READY. Would Accept a Proposal For a Finish Fight From Jeffries. New York, Feb. 14.���Robert Fitz- simmons, former world's champion pugilist, said today tbat he would accept a proposition mado by James J. Jeffries, the present holder of the title, fur a finish contest between thorn, tbe winner to tako 60 per cent, and the loser 40 per cent, of thc purse. Fitz- simmons said he was willing to sign articles at any time and tbe only stipulation lie wished to make was that tlie winner should have all of the picture pi ivilegeprocdces. Ho thought tho tight should take placo before the club offering the largest purse. Jeffries expressed himself as well pleasad when informed of Fitzsim- moii's intentions. He arranged to meet Fit/siiinnons tomoirow and sign articles. He said he wonld bo ready to fight in April or lo May. The battle ground will probably be on the Pacific coast. EIGHTH ROUND AT CHESS.

Flotsam Found Supposed to Be From Red Rock. Victoria, Feb. 14.���The light house- g the beach looking for signs of wreckage, had found cases of Salman without, however, any marks on them. This will increase the uneasiness felt for the salmon laden ship Red Rock, a lifo buoy from which was found on the coast some weeks ago. The Red Roca left here o. November 29tb and the big storm in which the warBhlp CoLdor and collier Mattewan foundered occurred on December 2nd. Reports of wrecakge from ships which sail out of the straits is looked upon in some circles with considerable suspicion on account of the gambling in re-insurance, but there is no doubt that the buoy found was from the Red Rock, it having been seen by the offloers of the Egeria. However the salmon and buoy might have been washed from the deck of the ship. Frank Nicholas was today found guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Tom Netes. The men bad been quarrelling and Nicholas stabbed Netes, '..who was found dead en tbe street some hours later. Nicholas tried to get away in his fishing sloop. A nolle prosequi was entered in the case of Katchulles who was charged with assisting Nicholas to escapo. THE VALPARAISO. Officers Elected���Work on Properties to Be Commenced. On Monday afternoon the newly elected directors of tbe Valparaiso Qold Mining oompany held their first meeting at which G. A. Carlson, James Speers, J.Werner, Angus Campbell and Aug. Short were present. R. F. Green, M. L.A., was elected president, aod Q. A. Carlson, vice-president, and J. F. Maloney was re-elected secretary-treasurer. It is expected tbat work will be Oommnceed upon the property of the company at Goat creek soon after the next meeting of the directors , which will take place immediately npon tbe return of Mr. Green from the coast. A shaft will be sunk on the lead from tbe end of the present tunnel which Is axpected to prove the property at a great depth. The cost of hoisting machinery and other matters appertaining to the now course of development is now being looked into and it is probable that within a very short time the mine will bave a full force of men at work. BOULDER CAUSES DEATH. Caboose and of Work Train Smashed Seven Men Killed. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 14.���Seven men were killed and at least 14 seriously Injured by a huge boulder whioh crashed into the caboose of a work train on the Chocktaw, Oklahoma and Oulf railway, 20 miles west of Little Rock.

When a newspaper like the Miniiifj Review is temporarily deceived it is evidont that a largo soction of the eastern press will accept the falsely colored picture of British Columbia opinion. In fact the manufactured special, which was sent free over the C. I'.R. wires, was accepted and published by several prominent eastern newspapers. The suggested transfer of the Morrissey creek coal measures to the C. f.R. would enable tlmt company Ul figbt tbe Crow's Nest Coal company for a share of the profits, but would deprive tlie minister of the interior,to whom the appeal is directed, of his only means of compelling either or both comoanics to supply local demand with coal and coke at fair and honest prices.

CAUOUT A TENDERFOOT. The Canadian Mining Review, a substantial and important monthly published in Ottawa, is impresed with the unnnimiy of the demand made by certain British Columbia newspHpers for immediate transfer of the coal measures south of Morrissey creek to the C. P. R. But there are more tilings in tbe British Columbia newspapers than are dreamed about in the Mining Review's philosophy. In faot the views of the newspapers named are as unnimous as it is possible for tbe manifolding apparatus ol a modem typewriter to make them. The views expressed could not have coincided more accuartely il they had been sot up in a stereotyping otlice and cast, column width, from a single matrix. Regarded ns a labor-saving scheme this unanimity is scarcely rivalled by the Utopian dreams of Edward Bellamy. No wonder it impressed our Ottawa contemporary, immersed as it mnst be in enlgneering problems and details, and innocent of the wiles of daily newspaper life. The Kamloops Inland Sentinel has evidently much time on its hands, for it took pains to make an assay of the unanimity after declining a chance to get in on thu ground floor. Here is the result: "The Province, of Saturday last, 18th inst., contains what purports to bo a special telegraphic despatch from Fort Steele, dated 17th January, under the caption, 'Coal Monopoly in the Crow's Nest.' It is a most remarkable conireidenee that abuut a week ago one of our citizens handed to the Sentine' a typewritten article an exact counterpart of the Province's 'special,' whioh has been sent to hiin with tbo request that be secure its insertion in a Liberal newspaper. The copy placed in our hands is dated Irom Fort Steele, January fltb, and reads almost word for word with the Province special, to which, however, n few more paragraphs have beon added. As a matter of fact the article had been manifolded, interlarded with appropriate variations, and sent through the medium of trusty agents, to the press, particular anxiety boing shown to secure publication ln Liberal nowspapers. But this is not all. A few days ago, on Saturday last, to be precise, another gentleman sent us a shorter article, dealing with he same subject, and bearing in every sentence the imprint of the same authorship as tbo more lengthy one, In tbis second inamiwipt reference Is made to an attisle whieh appeared ln the Nelson Tribune about two weeks ago touching upon the identical question, the Crow's Nest Coal company and Mr. Jim Hill's connection there with. Strange to say tho Tribune's article is suspiciously liko the Province's 'special' und the two typewritten Mss. now in our posses sion, and is uudoubenly the prod ict of the same facile pen. Another note worthy feature is the fact the l'rovinco eomtnontod on the Nelson Tribune's article, producing some part of it, and the entire Provinco article was reprinted in tbo Rossland Miner of the 14th lust. Next, the Province of the 18th inst. published its variation of the same nrticle dated the 17th, from Fort Stcole and then to clap tbe climax the Nelson Tribune, ulso of the 18th, reprints tlio Province article as a telegram from Victoria, dated the I7th, the same day as it was 'wired' (?) from Fort Steele to tbe Vancouver C.P.B. organ, This is indeed wonderful! A soit of a telogrnohic sec-saw." Is it any wonder tbat tbe Mining Review is impressed with tho unanimity of tlio demand, by the Ilritia1. Columbia newspipurs, for tho transfer of the coal lands south of Morrissey oreok to the C.P.R. One feature of this affair is truly impressivo and that Is tho case with which a sngle corporation can manufacture newspaper opinion in tins provinco. Newspapers handling tills manifolded stuff and sending it abroad as tlieir own opinions kill whatever influence tbey may have possessed in this coinmun- AN UNFAIR COMPARISON. Tbe Nelson Board of Trade at Its meeting on Thursday evening adopted a resolution recommending that the associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia adopt a resolution to the effect that it is strongly of the opinion that the welfare of certain parts of British Columbia, the Boundary section in particular, demands encaper fuel and earnestly urges upon the Dominion government the advisability of doing everything within its power to encourage the opening up of new coal fields, either by individuals or companies, and in every othor way reducing the cost of fuel. Mr. Beer, notwithstanding that some of tlio ether members of the board were inclined to be fuir and showed a desire to not take action on suoh short notice, insisted that the resolution be immediately adopted and after considerable debate carried his point. Among tbo arguments which Mr. Beer used in support of the immediate passage of the resolutions was thut the cost of coal in Nova Soatia is not as high as it is in British Columbia, and he seemed to think that the price should be abont the same in the two provinces. This contention is onrca sonabie and untenable in the extreme. Miners at the Spring Hill mines in Nova Scotia, one of the largest collieries in tbe province, receive from $1 to $3 per day, while the miners working in the several collieries in the Crow's Nest basin are paid about $3 per day. Considerable of the work is done by contraot and nnder this system tbe compensation varies. The cost of supplies is much greater in British Columbia than in Nova Scotia. Besides thia tho mines, under the cnartor, pay a royalty to tile govern ment of 10 cents per ton. These con< ('ilium make it impossible to mine and sell coal and its manufactured products at the same rates that prevail in Nova Scotia and no one knows tbis better than Mr. Beer. The latter is the owner of some houses in this city which he rents. How would Mr. liner like to have tbe board of trade meet and insist in a resolution that he accept tho same rentals for his premises tbat ho would receive for like establishments in Nova Scotia. We fancy that Mr. Boer would cry'out loudly on the street corners against the iniquity of such proceedings. Yet there would be as much justice in it as there is in the resolution passed by the board of trade on Thursday evening. It makes considerable difference sometimes whose ox is gored. Besides this,notice should have been given that a resolution of this character was coming up, so thut there might be a larger attendance, a fair discussion, and proper time taken for its consideration. Tbe fact that the resolution was rushed through notwithstanding tho attempt to have it laid ovor, shows that tho desire was to tako snap judgment, whioh was not tbe most creditable mode of procedure. LOItlJ DUFFER1N. Lord Dufferin, whose death oocurrcd early in tlic week, was a romarkablo man. He had great ability as a diplomat, and it was once said of him tbat his adriotness won alternately the admiration and despair of Europe When lie was Oovernor-Oeneral of Canada, and none of tOc distinguished personages, who have filled that important position was more popular than lie, he occupied a high place in the alTections of the people. lt was then that he showed his great tact in icconciling the differences, social and otherwise, that sometimes arose bo tncsn the Anglo-Saxon and tlio French elements. While ho was llovernor-Oeneral trouble began to Isii'iv between Oanada and the United States oyer the Atlantic fisheries, which at one time threatened to become serious, hut Lord Dufferin poured the oil of bis diplomacy on the troubled waters, and thuy became oalm, and the two peoples wore soon friendly with oach other. A few years after his retirement from Oanada he went to India as viceroy. There ho had weighty responsibilities but he succeeded admirably by the sheer foroe of his diplomacy. It Is regrettable that the end of his career should havo been olouded by tbo London and Globe scandal. This much may be said of his connection HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. INCORPORRTBD 1670.

Medicine On, Gentlemen : I write this teHtimonial from a sense of duty, having tested the wonderful effect of your Asthiniilene, for the cure of Asthma. My wife has been afflcted with spasmodic asthma for tb<�� past 12 years. Having exhausted my own skill as well us many otbers, 1 chanced to Bee your Bign upon your windows on 130 th street, New York, i at onoe obtained a bottle of Asthmalene. My wife commenced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed a radical improvement. After using one bottle her Asthma has disappeared and she is entirely free from all symptoms. I feel that I can consistently recommend the medicine to all who are alflioted with this distressing disease. Yours respectfully, O. D. PHELPSs, M. D. Du. Taft Bros, Medicine Co, Feb. 5,1901.

Revelstoke, says the Vancouver World, has joined in tbe campaign ,to open the eyit oi tbo Eastern people who tbir.k llritish Columbia is no good because tbey have lost monoy in mining stocks. There is no doubt that much money changed bands in Ontario in lB'.Hi and 1H()7 during the boom in shares, but as the Revelstoke Herald points out in a breezy way, it "changed from the hand of the Ontario 'sucker' into the hand of thu Ontario'shyster.' Very littlo ol the dropped money enme this way. This country, on tho contrary, has suffered severely in roputation through tho aftor effects of tne crazy folly of thc Ontario speculators during lhe boom. It Is in Montreal and Toronto that these Biifforers must go to look for their millions, not in Kootenay." Until further notico tbo steamer Kokanee will only make a trip to Lardo once a week on Thursdays.

It is said that the Enterprise intends to double its force at the concentrator and to keep it running night and day. Clias. A. Sandiford, manager of the fteepawft. states that lrom now on he expects the property to ship a carload of ore each week, or running *-���"��������� 100-ton record per month. to the The Bosun, early in tho week, shipped two carloads of zinc ore to Antwerp, Bolgium, where the most satisfactory treat-uent can be obtained for that class of ore. A previous shipment by the Bosun to the same place resulted satisfactorily. Tbe ore averages 45 rer cent, and upward, in zinc, besides carrying good silver viilues. John McKane returned yesterday from tho Lardeau, where he has been looking after tho operations on the- bavina group. Mr. McKane reports that tho development of the Lavina ls proceeding at a satisfactory rate and thut considerable ore is being rawhided. Mr. MoKane is a the l'hair, aud intends to remain in town lor two or three days. For the flrst time in two years the Neepawa on Ten Mile, has made a shipment, says the Sioean Drill. It consisted of 20 tons and was sent to Trail. The Neepawa will be a regular shipper in future, aud it makes the fourth property in the oamp to figure in this year's list. From tbe Arlington 70 tons were sent out, making 90 tons in all for the division this week. J, W. Holmes yesterday received returns from a carload of ore from the Queen mine, which was sent to tbe Ball MineB smeltor. While be did uot care to discuss the exact figures, he stated that they were so satisfactory that regular shipments will now be made. The Queen adjoins tbe Yellowstone and is situated about ten miles from Salmo. It Is a gold proposition. The lessees of tbe Ottawa, says the Slocan Drill, have received their returns from the seven ton shipment ot ore made to Nelson last week. A portion of the ore returned 1,163 ounces in silver to the ton, establishing a new record for the camp. That portion of the shipment was worth $30 a sack. The balance, consisting of second grade ore, returned f 818.50 to the ton. For the full shipment the lessees realized $1,308 above all expenses. the execution of tbe contract and tbe circumstances surrounding the oase, and to his connection witli tho company at the time; and A. Bremner, the plaintilf. He was being cross- examined at the time of the adjuun- ment. In this action the plaintilf claims a balance on his contract for supplying timber to the Arlington mine and damages for alleged breach of contract, which he had with thc defendant. Tne case will probably not be concluded until Monday. In the City of Sioean election case two motions wero up lor hearing, one to fix security, and thc other to set a date for trial. R. W. Hannington, for the respondent, Mayor Bradshaw, stated that he had been instructed only in the morning of tbat day, and he asked for an adjournment to prepare his argument. Taylor aud O'Shoa, for the petitioner, consented, and the homing of the motions was set for this morning. In chambers A. 0. Gait, or the War Eagle and Centre Star, attended to settle the terms of tho order granted on tho previous day in the action of his clients against tbo Rossland Miners' union and others. By thc terms of tho order the Rossland Miners' nnion is to file affidavit as to the documents in its possession within ten days, suoh affidavit to De made by FraDk Woodside, the secretary, and in jase the ordor is not complied with, attachment otdeis may issue upou affidavit, Frank Woodsido, tho secretary, is ordered to attend for examination as an officer of the union at his own expense. The Carpenters and Joinors' union, and the Blacksmiths and Helpers' union, are to file affidavits of documents within ten days, and iu case of default, John McLaren, of the carpenters, is to be liable to attachment for contempt. James Wilks, vice-president of the Western Federation of Miners, is also to file affidavits of documents under a similar penalty, and the other defendants, now abseut from Rossland, who have failod to obey the order to produce, dated on December 11th, are to file affidavits of documents, else, in default, their defence is to be struck ont. All costs are to be costs in the cause to the plaintiff in any event. THE MINER'S WANT PAGE. FOR SALE OR RENT Advertisements lotierted uuder thia bead al the rate of one oe.it a word per Insert Ion.

Gratifying success continues to attend the development of the Iron Horse gronp, on Ten Mile, sayB the Slocan Drill. The other day a drift was commenced on the vein at the 50- foot levol in the shaft, where a small seam of ore was Bhowiog. The drift had only gone 11 feet when it broke into a foot ol solid shipping ore, and it has remained with them ever since. The strike was made on the Enterprise Bide of the shaft and it will give tho Iron Horse several hundred feet of ground to open up. The shaft is being pushed and will be sunk to a point 280 feet from the surface, thence a crosscut will be run to the big ledge. The machinery is running smoothly and giving every satisfaction.

In tbe Supreme court yesterday judgment was delivered in the case of Fraieigh vs. Hall Mines, which bad beon on tiial the day before. At the opening of court R. M. Macdonald, counsel tor the defendant, arose to direct the attention of tho court to what he considered was contempt of cour*. on the part ol The Miner in its report of the case. His lordship passed fhe matter bv saying that he wcnld deliver judgment first, and then it would be open to Mr. Macdonald to speak to any motion he might choose to make. Judgment was then given for the plaintiff for $1,750 and costs. He found tbat the approximate cause of tbe injury the plaintiff sustained was the starting of the briquetting muchine while the plaintiff had his arm in the mixer; that the plaintiff waB not guilty of negligence in putting his arm there, and that putting his arm in was not in itself the approximate cauBe of the accident. Taylor and O'Shea for the plaintiff, R. M. Macdonald for defendant. The trial of Bremner vs. Arlington mines was then begun and at the close of the day only two witnesses had beon heard. These wero W. H. Dubois, lato auperintendent of the AFTER A LION, How R. O. Jennings and Gus Thies Let One Get Away. R. O. Jennings and Gus Thies have been placer mining on Perry creek the past few months, says the Cranbrook Herald. Their camp is about six miles above Old Town, and they have been living alone in their cabin. One day last week they heard their dog crying in agony and alarm. Mr. Jennings rnshed out to the brush and found the animal iu the embrace of an immense mounUin lion. Jennings called to Thies to bring the axe, and in the meantime, having nothing else to use, threw his mits at tho animal. Without letting go of his victim thc lion spit like a tomcat at this mode of attack, and finally let the dog go and slunk slowly into the woods. Tbies hurried out with a 22-rifle they had in camp to sboot at mountain rats. Not thinking of the ferocity of the lion or the danger he incurred, Thies chased after him and succeeded in hitting him once in the flank. The bullet had no effect except to cause the lion to turn and spit at him. Suddenly it dawned upon Thies that he was chaB- ing a half starved lion alone into the bush wilh nothing bnt a plaything of a iifle for proteotlon. Thinking then that discretion wbb the better part of valor, he relinquished the chase and sought in hurried flight the safety of companionship at the camp. "I hated to lose the fellow," said Mr. Thies, "as it was tbe largest one I ever saw. But I could do nothing with a small rifle, and so had to let him go." Men's pints all wool, $1.00 a log.

It is a safe proposition that if a man or woman has headaches, stomach trouble, or any such ailments come on lit Intervals, something is wrong with the food or drink, ami this question should be Investigated carefully, for health is tho best capital auyouo can possess and willfully breaking it down is a piece of childish lolly, It is easy to leave olT ooffee if one will take Postum Food Coffee, properly mnde, for Postum has a delicious ooffee flavor and a deep sonllirown color which changes to a golden brown when creani is added, and it satisfies the coffee drinker without any of the bad effects of coffee! on the contrary, the result of using I'ostnm is tlm rebuilding of the broken down nerve confers by t'���e food elements contained in it.
