The Bear Uke section gang have moved their headquarters to McGuigan and are occupying the building. James McGregor, Provincial Inspector of Mines, arrived in Sandon on Thursday evenings train, armed with instructions and authority to enforce the amendment to the Mineral Act which provides that no man may work underground more than eight hours out of every 24, He wss met at the depot by a delegation from the Miners Union and by a number of mine managers, to whom he stated that his instructions were to enforce the Isw. The announcement created considerable excitement in town and immediate trouble was apprehended. A meeting of the mine owners was held during the evening in the Virginia block. This meeting wss secret, but it is generally understood that it was resolved, in case the law were enforced, to close all properties represented, which inclnded almost all the mines in the camp. F. A. Wood, who was one of the delegates who recently waited upon the Minister of Mines, telegraphed lo Mr. Hume in Victoria, explaining the situation and asking why the promise which he had recently given the delegation was being disregarded. This promise was that he. as Minister of Mines, would not enforce the eight-hour law unless the pressure in its favor became ao strong that he could not ignore it. As a result of the telegrams sent, Inspector McGregor received a wire yesterday morning to await further instructions. At a late hour last night he was still waiting, and, as might be expected, was altogether non committal at to the course he thought the government would be likely to uke in the matter. In the conferences that have been held by the mine owners the idea of paving 13 50 for eight hours work was not entertained. The miners, on the oth'��r hand, it is generally believed would not be willing to accept 12.80 or ��a00 a day for eight hours work. The enforcement of the law "would therefore mean a lockout or a strike, either of which would be disastrous to the interests of the camp and would work a great hardship to both the miners and mine owners. negotiating for a site for a church, to be built this summer. A substantial building that will cost not less than 12,500 will be put up. A skating rink will also be built in the fall If not taken up as a private enterprise a joint stock companv will undertake the venture. A large, modern structure thst could be used as an auditorium in summer time is needed and will pay handsomely. Tbe school board is endeavoring to obtain possession of the site upon which the school stands, and as soon ss the title can besecured an addition is to be built to the present structure. The city council is also contemplating some extensive work on the creek and tha building of a good deal of much-needed sidewalk as well as other improvements. Besides these buildings there are several othar structures to be pot up by individuals. Hammond Bros, sre looking for a site for a livery barn ; E. M. Sandilands is going to do some building for outside parties; F. A. Wood is contemplating a residence and office building at the foot of the Last Chance tramway and H. Byers A Co. and H. Giegerich intend to make some extensive alterations and improvements to tbeir establishments to handle an increasing business. Altogether the coming season promises to be a much busier one than last for the building trade. The Buildinfl Outlook. This summer promises to be a very busy building season in Sandon. Work on the Ruth tramway and concentrator, which will employ from 25 to 40 men for several months, will be commenced within 30days. The Ivanhoe will also build a con- oentlttor and tramway at a later date, Inclose proximity to the Ruth mill. The K. 4 S. is credited with an intention to build an engine house in Sandon ss soon as the Nelson A Bed- limrton road in completed. POLICE COURT. Jack Madigan, from Three Forks, who tried to paint the town in the old-fashioned style, came before the riolice magistrate on Wednesday charged with abusing his horses, with being drunk and with using hsd language. His jag cost him 150 fine. A syndicate is being organized in Three Forks to pay the amount. Grant Thorburn, one of the Silver- ton delegates who came up to engage the band and base ball club and to ' advertise the celebration on the 24th ot May, got into a racket in the Reco hotel on Thursday morning and wound up in the police court He was assessed $5 and costs for being drunk and disorderly and for using Silverton phrases on the public street in Sandon.

The Ontario government proposes large grants to develop tbe northern part of the province. It is proposed to grant a subsidy of $480,000 for a line of railway connecting with the C. P. R. at Missanabie station and reaching tide water at the mouth of Noose river in James Bay, a distance of 240 miles. This will forma wessterly route to the great inland ses. In addition to the cash subsidy a grant of 5,000 acres per mile of railway constructed is proposed to be given out of lands through which the railway may pass. A similar subsidy of 92,000 per mile, $350,000 in all, together with a land grant is proposed to be given to tbe James Bay railway, which, starting at a point near Sudbury is to be pushed forward in the direction of Lake Abittibi and will form an easterly trunk line to the Hudson's Bay, a distance of 175 miles. This line is expected to open up a very large tract of agricultural land * in the vicinity of Lakes Temisearning snd Abittibi. Other important railway grants are set fourth in resolutions as lollows: To Haliburton, the Whitney A Mattawa, between Haliburton and Whitney a distance not exceeding 30 miles, cash subsidy ��3,000 per mile, S90,0ti0. The Ontario & Rainy River railway, from a junction with the Purt Arthur, Duiuth A Western railway to Fort Francis, a distance not exceeding 75 miles, a cash subsidy of $4,OJ0 a mile. ��505,000 To the Central Ontario railway, from Ormsby or Coe Hill to a point at or near Bancroft, a distance not exceeding 20 miles, a cash subsidy of 13 000 a mile, $60,000.

A carload of crushed gold ore looks like a lot of course yellow sand, and this particular carload bad beeu knocked about and disrespected as a car of common sand should be. When the officials were notified that the tracer had chased the car onto the master mechanic's track they sent him a note asking about the disposition of the car, giving its number. The master mechanic turned the note over and endorsed it on the back: "The car contained a poor quality of sand. Some of it I used in the sand boxes of the engines, but it was notservicable, so I had it scat tered along the right of way." The railroad paid the smelter il80 a ton for the "bad sand." What a Ton of Gold ia Worth. A RAILROAD MAN'S MISTAKE. Sanded the Track with Gold Rock. The average railroad official, from the president down to the section bias, is thoroughly conversant with the work that comes in his department, but the following incident shows that even the higher officials make mistakes. Several months ago a Kansas City company bought a carload of crushed ore in Mexico. Advices were duly received that the ore had been ship ped���20|tons of it. Weeks passed and the ore did not come. The smelting company then appealed to the general agent of the road. The general agent gave it up. Along the line the question was asked until it reached an official who started out a tracer for tbe carload of ore. A tracer is a document on which every agent, train conductor, checker, and vp *_*__���_���_: ���__>�� *���* *��y * thiag to do with tha aMpmiat mm* mhrhe-ce be took tt aod where he laid it down. From the mine In Mexico the car of ore was traced from junction pel ut to junction poTot until it was wclf within the railroad *J*V A paper published in one of the mining sections of the North West says: "Some of our esteemed journal is tic friends have pointed the linger of corn at a recent headline in these colums which spoke of ore running ��500.000 to the ton. The i say that a ton of pure gold, at $20.67 an ounce, would amount to only ���496,080, As the chief mission of this paper in this world uf error is to bold the truth before all men as a shining light, we pause to point out that they are wrong. There is no ton in troy weight. A ton avoirdupois contains 2.U0U pounds, each pound containing 16 ounces, and each ounce 437} grains. It follows that there are just 14,004 000 grains in a ton. An ounce, rroy weight, contains 480 grains, and a brief exercise in simple division will demonstrate that there are 29.166J8 troy ounces in a ton avoirdupois. At 920.67 per ounce, tbe value of a ton ufa ton of pure gold is 1602,896. It is to be hoped that subscribers who may discouer a ton of gold about their premises will not permit themselves to be victimized bv the short weight gentry who say there are only 24,000 troy ounces in a ton."

Combine the two and a celebration wUI be held that will surpass that of Greater New York���in many respects. A conservative estimate olaces the amount that will be raised for the Slocan Lake celebration on Mav 24th, New Denver, at 1700. When the matter of celebrating was first mooted it was said that $300 could not be raised. It might be well for those who insist that New Denver has no right to appropriate the 2-1 th of May on which to Boeoric ber patriotism, to understand that See Denver celebrated that day as early ss 1806, when sister towns were in the woods.

B 0. As stated in ihe report, thaw are 90 claims, nil coll* peaks reach an altitude of over 10,000 ft. This region forms tbe central mountainous district of British Columbia, running; nearly north and south, and lying between the Rocky mountains on the east, and the coast range on the west rhe claims are situated near the mining village of Three Forks Thev extend southwards from the river called Carpenter creek (which at this point is, approximately, >,000ft above sea level) and tbey rise to the summit of the mountains, nearly 7,000 ft. high. An excellent wagon road winisnp the hillside following for fully half the distance the course of Howson creek or river, a tributary of, and flowing northwards into. Carpenter creek The principal workings are in two steep valleys or basins, known as the Alamo basin and the Idaho basin, which both run down in a northerly direction towards How- son creek,( the watershed or divison between the two basins being formed by a sharp pointed shoulder or hog-back The Alamo and Idaho veins were struck on the surface at the summit of the mountain. The trees form a valuable adjunct to tbe mine, large quantities of timber being required for supporting* tin; tunnels and for building purposes, etc. The declivity of the bilh is an important factor in tbe valne of mines, tunnelling from the hillside being a much simpler and more economical method of mining than sinking shafts '���In our mines the veins have not yet been proved to a great depth There are. however, rich mines being worked iu the vicinity of tbe concentrator at an elevation of onlv 300 ft above the level of the river. There are aim out crops of mineral and workings with good showings of ore in every direction, high and low, and one cannot travel by road or rail without seeing evidences, every few hundred yards, of mines being opened up It is* reasonable, therefore, toexpect that the Idaho- Alamo veins will go down to great depth. It is our manager's intention to do some prospecting work on these lower claims when the snow disappears in spring It is proposed to divert part of the stream and to carry a sluice for a sufficient distance in order ro wash the surface at various points, in the expectation of exposing mineral outcrops, which are in most cases only covered to a depth of a few feet wirh what is locally known as 'wash ' During the past six months, Mr. Hughes, their manager, baa been negotiating with the smelters for a lower freight and treatment rate, and we have mat heard that he has been successful in obtaining a reduction of $15 per ton. The smelters are all very anxrous to get the' Idaho ore, as it contains a large percentage ot silica. I waa informed by ope of the chiefs of tbe Canadian Pacific Railway that they would smelt our ores at cost price in order to secure our traffic. There's, however, another factor which ought very soon to have an important bearing on the future prosperity ot our mines. I refer to the likelihood that we shall have another railway competing with tbe C.P.R, brought up to a point only a few hundred feet below tne level of our present workings. The new line, the Great Northern Railroad, will, it is expected, start from Sandon, about five miles up Carpenter creek, and situated at an altitude of 8,000 ft. above sea level. This company has its present terminus at Sandon, and it is anxious to bave its share of the mineral traffic of our district. The new line has been surveyed up to tbe Idaho, and ft would have an easy gradient. As to the future, keeping in view the disappointment experienced in connection with the prospects held out at last general meeting of the distribution of a dividend, the directors were mast unwilling to give any definite promise of the payment of a dividend ont of the profits ot the current year. They, however, held a high opinion of tbe value of the two principal pro|��erties in which the company were interested. Tbe Lake Way mine would moat likely enter into the producing stage during the course of the year, and the time had now all but arrived when they would be able to offer the shareholders an interest in a thoroughly developed property, which they bad every confidence would return good dividends. If he did not make any promises of ao early dividend, it was from no want of confidence in their capacity to do so. On the contrary, he considered the early possibilities* of a dividend were excellent. Thev had been able not only to meet ail their liabilities and to largely reduced tbe contingent liabilities on shares held in other concerns, but they had also at this moment a considerable sum of cash in hand. Although that sum waa not con- I sidered as profit in the accounts, it wss {so in reality, being a return from one of j their investments, and it represented an ; interest equal to 5 per cent, on the issued j capital of the company." ���m To the Ladies of Sandon and Vicinity: GREETING:��� Wfi have on hand about 400 pain of Ladies' and Children's shoes which we are to dispose of at a sacrifice in order fo make room in our salesroom for new stock now on the road.

APRIL 8, 1899. AXOTHKK RAT- WAR IN SIGHT. Last year, about this time, Sir William Van Horne threw down his glove and challenged Jim Hill, Mr. Have and the otbei great railroad magnates to do their worst. Sir William fairly glistened in the splendidness of his isolation. He defied the whole railway aggregation. He refused to discuss peace with them until after tbey bad capituated. As the year wore on, however, and as tbe tight progressed, Sir William receded somewhat from the haughty position be had taken. It became possible for the representatives of the other railways to see him and his agents and later on he even deigned to discuss terms of settlement with them. Finally he came right down from his perch and talked straight business. Then a settlement was arrived at and the great cut-rate war of 1898 came to an end. And now it looks very much as if we were to have another big rate war thi* year. But the disturbing factor on this occasion is not Sir William Van Home, but Jim Hill, the president of the Great Northern. We notice that Sir William's emissaries have gone to Chicago to rue for peace, but they cannot find the enemy there. When last heard from they were on their way to St. Paul, the headquarters of tbe Great Northern and the home of its celebrated president. What the result of their negotiations it headquarters may be time alone can tell, but we anticipate* it will be no easy matter to settle the differences thatexisit between the C. P. R. and the Great Northern. The war is already on. The Great Northern has cut its "rates to the toast and the C.P.R. will lie obliged to follow suit. Rate-cutting promises to become general-within a short time. This certainly will happen unless Mr. Hill can lie called off. The exciting cause of last year's war was alleged secret rate-cutting by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern' Railways. The trouble this year is of quite a different nature. British Columbia is the storm-centre. The Great Northern has a spur from Spokane, running into the rich mineral district of southern British Columbia. The outlook for business is so promising that Mr. Hill is seeking to extend his lines in several directions throughout British Columbia. In the first place, he wants a charter 'rom the Dominion 8ov- ernment for his so-called Kettle River Railway. The C. P. R. is opposing his application. Sir William was the means of defeating the project during the last session of Parliament He is preparing to kill the (project again when it comes up, as it will come up, during the present session. Mr. Hill does not intend to waste all his powder at Ottawa, nor is he going to wait till Sir William haa. outwitted him More he begins the fight. The cut-rate announced bv the. Great Northern a week ago is the first shot that has been fired over the Kettle River pro iect this season. The battle promises to be a fierce one. Jim Hill has put on his war paint and feathers. He is proper- ing for a war to the knife. His plan oi campaign is many tided. It is not limited to a mere cut in rates. Mr. Hill has started an agitation to discredit the C P. R. in the United States. He has secured the .aid of several influential journals in the west try excite the Aineri can 'public againsttbeCP.lt. On one of St. Paul papers be has appointed an editor who ia specially qualified to carry on the fight againpt the big Canadian corporation. There is no doubt that Mr. Hill has it in his power to greatly injure the C P. R. as far as the ITnited States business is concerned. V\ ben the American's learn of Sir WitttomJan Home's attempts to keep the Ureal Northern out ot Canada tbey will not ne disposed to treat the C.P.R. vtith mnoh consideration. President Hill has excellent material to work on in exciting antipathvagainsttheC P. R. ifl United States territory. We aro not astonished to see that Sir William Van Home bus taken fright and has sent an emissary to St. Paul to sue for peace, rroui what we know of President Hill, we helm*;' that the withdrawal of the C.P.R - opposition to the Kettle liiver Railway will be a condition precedent to SdJ settlement ot the dispute.-Toronlu World. AN BUSHY l> DtS-O-Hl. The Rossland Miner is pursuing a campaign of slander against the C. P. B. under the guise of warfare on monopoly. We ..re told to beware of the Greeks when they come bringing present* and those whose sympathies are appealed to by our co&tcmporar) have much reason to be suspicious of the motives actuating it* present course. The Miner, it is scarcely necessary to say, is the property, body arid bones, of Mr. Angus* Heinze, a gentleman roo well known in British Columbia to lie described to our readers. Mr. Heinze is a verv enterprising speculator, against whom personally the Globe has nothing to say; but that his organ should parade in the garb of socialism is really too funny tor expression. When the C. P. R. bought out Mr. Heinze's interest in the Trai! smelter and the Columbia % Western Railway Company, tbe Miner was either overlooked or not wanted, and now it is being used t-p further Mr. Heinze's interests in other directions. The Miner's posttfon will be better understood when are el plain that Mr. Heinze is suing the C.P.R. Co. fur a large amount in connection will the recent pnretmseof his interests; that be is one A, it not the leading spirit in the smelting combine recently organized in tht United States, which is in deadly opposition to the smelter atTrail; and that Mr. Heinze is associated with Mr. Corbin and others in securing a charter to tap the Boundary country in opposition to the C. P. It No .no, therefore, need be surprised at w hat the Miner may sav in opposition to that or any Canadian institution which may stand in the wa> oi Mr. Heinze's designs in this countrv. The truth of the matter ts. the Rowland Miner, an excellent paper in manv ways, is simply the agent tnd month piece of men, who, us capitalists monopolists and aliens, are endeavor* ing to exploit the riches of British Columbia in their own interests. It exists in Ripssland for that purpoM aud no other. As a bright, newsy newspaper, backed up by American capital nnd brains, it has outside of Rossland and vicinity a certain infln emu, it lieing wrongly npposed U' represent the views of that important d strict, and is therefore all the more dangerous. We want rhe public, however, to understand the real 'acts ��� f the case. Mr. Heinze. st head Of the great smelter combine, l�� doing his best to crush the smelting industry in British Columbia, and a* a partner of Mr. Corbin, for a similar end in view, is endeavwlng to secure a charter for a raifway zig lagging the International boundrrry in order to tap here and there the mines of Southern Yale and divert the ores, which should be smelted in British Columbia, to the United States. The Rossland Miner's denunciation of rhe C.P.R. as a njonopoly ���nd an ootopoj is tio more that] Mr. Htfntw^ pj��n "f campaign pelt of ail orgamzeplcn- M.iracy-to enrich himself and hi** associates et the ex-mso <>fthi* coon wt\ For the Miner, nnder tlteee ��r* eurnstaneea, to assume the attjt��we of pious ablx-rrence ot the <M\i. to not onlv to render ridicrirVri* in the eyes ol the people, but toolaoe the litter on the alert in guard Ing and eonaei * in.* their <>wn interest.*, for;hetn*rtdvi*v.

Deacon, manager Ontario Gold Concessions, gives the results of bis experience in prospecting with tbe diamond drill in an article in the Rat Portage Miner. He says: Three different kinds of drills are made, one being what is called hydraulic feed, or its thrust being produced by hydraulic pressure; one having what is called positive feed, or being forced forward S given distance in a given number of turns, which ratio may be altered to some extent; and one having spring feed, its thrust being given by a spiral spring, and which may be increased or diminished at will by simply tightening or loesening the nut that compresses the spring. For this climatea nd tbe nature or the rock to be bored 1 prefer tbe latter. Now, aa to tbe method of applying the drill in prospecting, let us suppose that we have what often occurs here, a showing on the surface that seems to some extent promising and yet we are not sure whether there is any extent of vein or whether it holds out in depth. We want to find out at the least cost of money and in the shortest possible time. In a district or locality where there has been considerable surface disturbance and in a position to be to a certain extent positive of the nature of our deposit. If we sink a shaft to a depth of 100 feet the total cost will be very close on $3,000 and the time consumed will be at least four months. If the shaft is made large enough and properly timbered it will cost more aod take longer. If the property turns out good then the shaft is all right, but if not we are out tbe $3,000. With ths stun* amount of money 10 holes might have been bored with a diamond drill to the same depth at intervals of say 10 feet apart along the strike of the vein and the vein sampled for a length of 100 feet, and the work done in two and a half months. But as the holes are seldom bored in tbe plane of the vein, the machine placed off the vein at a distance of say loo feet or so to one side, and the hole bored at such an angle as to cut the vein at a given depth we have tbe additional advantage of (crow-cutting the country for a considerable distance on each side of the vein, and encountering and locating any parallel veins which may exist, or of finding our own vein should any slip or fault have occurred in it In addition we have a clean, neat, continuous sample of ore across our vein from wall to wall at the point where it is cut, and also samples of the v.all rock, and from these can be learned a great deal of what we may expect to find when.mining is begun. If tbe ground is seamv and the rock very schistose the core will be broken up into small pieces, and this would indicate that the around is leaky and we may have trouble with water in our mine, consequently, when baying our first machinery we will provide sufficient boiler capacity and a pump ot good sue to handle the water. On the other hand the core may come ont in long, solid pieces and the hole may hold the water from the drill all the way down, and this will lw a pretty good indication that we will havea dry shaft. 1 found this to be the case in sinking a shaft to a depth of 150 feet, 80 feet below the level of tbe lake, which was only AW vards distant, an! the shaft was quite dry. Of course it will be remembered these are only indications. One advantage of the diamond drill is that it does not at one hole ebow any considerable area of the cross section oi the vein, and this is often urged against its use, as it is said yon may hit tin* vein at a particularly rich spot or at a particularly poor spot, oi you may hit it where the vein may have sudd nly narrowed in or widenepi out, and thus get a totally false conception of the value or sise of the vein,and that a few feet either way would show quite'a different result. This is quite true, but the way to overcome that is to bore a number of holes from the same point, one below the other; this will test its width at various depths, and then bore a series of holes along the strike of the vein, and in this way a great area of the vein may be sampled very cheaply ami in a short time, or a few holes may show from the nature of the vein matter that tlie pie posit is of no value and money may i*�� saved by not developing it. In the case of prospecting and locating ore bodies of minerals which do not occur in veins hut in irregular massive deposits such as iron or nickel the diamond drill is very ex tensively used; in fact, for the determination and the extent of thsss particular kinds of mineral bodies they are almost exclusively used in many sections in preference to shaft sinking. I must say in conclusion, that I am of the opinion'that a diamond drill skill fully and judiciously used is a splendid scheme for cheaply and quickly prospecting property, and that the disadvantages are largely outweighed by the advantages. '__ COMMOX-S-NM- HEALTH NOT-S. Concerning the frequency with which meat may properly be given tochildren, and regarding the time of day best suited to its administration, opinions differ widely w medical writer ho- lieves, on the basis of his own ex peri ���uce, that children under five real* do best with only one meat meal n day, tbis being best given in the morning or at noon. After five years both the breakfast and the mill dav meal mav include some moat An ideal dietetic schedule, however, for most children, would embrace eggs at breakfast, meat at noon, and bread ami milk at night, appropriate cereals being supplied wirh the eggs and meat All meats for children should be carefully cuf Into little" pieces, and children old enough to cut their own meat should be cautioned to make the pieces as small as possible Medical Press: It would surprise many intelligent people to be tpp|.| that a chill is a sign that then; is fever, ami that sweating is usually a sign thai the (ever is abating.

KASLO HAS A MINE AT*LAST.H The True Blue a Steady Producer, The True Blue is now a heavy producer, and ore is being packed down to the wagon road as fast as possible. Over 700 sacks have been sent down to-date and there still remains about the same amount on the dump. The winze is now down 36 feet at the end pf the tunnel, and the ore body still retains its width, about three feet This is regarded as a very good showing, which, ir it holds out will certainly make a promising copper mine, as the ore carries 9 to 15 per cent of copper besides values tn gold and ailver. When onoe the management have satisfied themselves that there is a sufficient ^quantity of ore In sight they will construct a tramway to the lake's edge, and the cost of trans* portation will be reduced* to a minimum. 4 Three Totonato Celebrate. There will be considerable opposition in the celebration business on the 24th of May. New Denver and Silverton are bucking, as usual, and both declare their intention to do justice to Her Gracious Majesty's natal day. Silverton celebrated last year, ancl, so the New Denver people say, promised to keep out of it this year in favor ot New Denver. But the citizens of the Four Mile settlement are going right ahead preparing for a big celebration. The Sandon brass band has been engaged for the day by Silverton at $75 and expenses, and both towns are bidding for tbe base ball game between Sandon and Nelson. Silverton, notwithstanding thnt it has nn ball ground, has offered a purse of 0100 and expenses. The New Denver committee, which has plenty of hard cash at its command, has tilted this 125 and claims to have an agreement with the Nelson ball players and the Nelson hose reel team to appear in New Denver on the 24th. Several other minor attractions such as horse races, foot races, foot ball and lacrosse matches, etc., will be offered by both towns. Kaslo is also in the field with a celebration and although too late for a base ball game, will invite tbe hose reel team to come over and race with their team. On account of the very friendly feeling between the two towns this invitation will no doubt be accepted. The Sandon team has very little time to practise before the 24th but they put up a good run last year and no doubt will be able to do so on this occasion. A Card of Thanks. Now that the spinal column of a hard winter has been broken and balmy spring with its gentle touch is upon us, we reel impelled to thank our neighbors who have been ao considerate as to pile their wood outside, especially those who had it placed alongside the road. Mr. Giegerich waa thoughtless enough to throw his wood down cellar and Mr. Valla nee took to burning coal lately, but altogether we bave managed to gel along nicely. Next winter the Printing Palace will be heated with coal if the C. P. R. and K. A S. can be induced to spot tbeir cars in a position that will obviate the necessity ot a long haul. The International company has a boat on the Bonner's Ferry route again. Getting a Trifle Mixed. The Nelson Tribane of yesterday says: The members of the Nelson ball team do not know yet where they are going to play on May 21th The people who have tho management of the rival celebrations st New Denver and Silverton are bidding against each other to secure a match Same between the Nelson and San on teams, and the Nelson boys are how endeavoring to ascertain where the Sandon team intends to play As there are several of the best bull players on the hose team, the hoee team will be obliged to go wherever the ball game goes. Then, again, the fraternal societies are mixed up in the business. The Odd Fellows will, of course, as is their annual custom, go to Kaslo on an excursion, and as the manager of the ball team is an Odd Fellow, the ball team must go where he goes-or disband. A Dead Heat. Rossland and Nelson are running neck and-neck tor first place as citie*. in the interior of British Columbia Last month Rossland sold one two- cent stamp more than Nelson, but Nelson cashed-in two money order.*, more than Rossland. Both hive the same number of telephones���112- and both have the same number of the same kind of aldermen. A Lardo Duncan Ra'lroad. The Nelson Tribune says: A C an adian Pacific railway engineering pjitty passed through Nelson on Monday for the head of Kootenav lake for the purpose of locating the pro posed railway which is to run thence to Arrowhead. There were eighteen men in the partv and they were under E. O. Doucct and (�� 11. t iordon of Montreal. Some time ago the preliminary line of this railway was run, and the action of the companv in sending out a locating partv is taken to mean that the proposed road will be built sooner than was contemplated.
