tin- average. They were good, trust-
w rtby, law-abiding men.
In answer to a question, Mr. Renedum
said that some of our mines, lhe Vancouver in particular, bad worked under the
h hour aysitm piior lo the passing ol tbe
a Hour Law.
Mr. r.ieiiiui'i'.. evidence was mainly a
corroboration oi the above. He believed
thai "b% of ths miners around New
Denver wero Uritish subjects. He be-
lietril that tbe average miner would do
as nun h in 8-hour shifts as they had for-
raerly i'oiiu iu the 10 hour. Because to
deliver a certain blow on a drill to overcome ihe breaking strain cl tho rock a

THK UOKU RIFLEMAN'S SONH.
This poem was printed in Ibe Telephone a weekly paper of Capetown,
Africa, and is supposed to be the best
Ihesn a Mitionsl mm would come j poem inspired by the war. Tbe word
"rooi-baatje" refers to llu ted-coaied
Kriti_.li soldiers:
Lay my rille here basido me, set my
Bible on my breast,
For a moment let the wailing bugle-1
cease;
As Ihe century is closing. I am goiiuto
inv rest,
I_ord, letleat Thou Thy servant uo in
peace.
But lniid through nil the btigl.-s rings n
cadence in mine ear.
And on the winds my hopes of peace
aie Mowed ,
The wind that waft tbe voices that
already I can hear—
Of the rooi-baatio singing on tbo rnad
Yes, tbe red-coats ate returniiiK; I can
hear tbe steady tramp,
Alter twenty years ol waiting, lulled
to sleep,
Since rank and file st Potcbefstroom we
hemmed them in tlnir camp.
And cut them up at Bronkersproll
like sheep.
They shelled ns at Ingogo, but we
galloped into range,
And wo shot the British gunners
where tbey showed;
I guessed they would retnrn lo us—1
knew the chance must change-
Hark! tho rooi-baatje sinigng on lhe
road.
But now Irom snow swept Canada, from
India's torrid plaina,
From lone Australian outposts, hither
led;
Obeying their commando, sb they beaid
the buglo'a strains,
The mon in brown have joined tbe
men in red.
l'bey come lo find the colors at Majnha
left and lost; _/ -■• ■■"
Tbey come to pay us back the debt
they owed;
And I bear new voices lifted, and I sso

Yesterday nifirning.Iaa. I. Mcintosh,
Secretary of tho local Mines' Union
received a 'eiegtam from the Stcielary
ol the Blocan Ciiy Union lo tho effect
that Geo. A. McDonald, a Silveiion
miner, bad been found Ibe previous
night drowned in Slocan Liver. Tbe
unfortunate young man was well known
here, having been employe I up to a few
days ago at tho llutvett Group, near town.
llu bad bees a aliong Union man und

over by him to sucb an extent that he

He left Silyerton a few days sgo ni'.d

was at work. Notbiui; of his whereabouts was known un'il iho airival of
tbe telegram, quoted above
The body was found, partly undresssd,
on a bar ol tbe rivei near Park Siding.
Tie supposition here is that the un-
i irlunato miner had, in bis unbalanced
Htnle ol mind, sonalt relief from bis

Modder River, Dee. 12.—The naval four
aeven-ineh battery again took up a position north of the camp, while the Howitzer battery waa posted to the southeast
on the left of the Boers. Both opened a
hot tire with Lyddite ahella and shrapnel,
to whieh the Boers sharply re-ponded with
a dozen guns, thus unmasking their position, which was tlie object of the Hritish
maneuver. After an hour's fighting th.}
Boer Rims were silenced. Tiie howitzers
sea relied the trenches and then threw shell
after shell upon the hills, the cxp'o-ion of
the Lyddites causing the whole ground
over an extensive area to rise in the air in
dense brown clouds. A Boer long gun
was dismantled, lt now appears that the
Boers intend that the next flght is to take
place at Magursfontein. Apparently Spy-
fontein is not defended or lhe Boers are
unwilling to unmask their position there.
Proceeds from a street fair given by

It will cost New York city at least

Q. P. COPELAND, Superintendent.
New York, Dec. 12.—A special from
Washington says:
Considerable concern has been felt in official circles for some time respecting the
fate of the American prironers atill held
by the Filipino insurgents. Thia is due
tn an intimation made l.y Aguinaldo in a
note to General Otis, delivered a month
ago, that, grave injury might befall the
prisoners if recognition of the so-culled
Filipino republic by the United States
were longer delayed.
lt was in answer to this threat that the
president sent a message to General Otis
for transmission to 'Aguinaldo announcing
that if the prisoners were maltreated iu
any manner he aud his subordinates
would bo held personally responsible. At
thai lime Aguinaldo was hclievcd to be
within the cordon established by the
American troops reat-hing from San Fabian
to Isidro.
Considerable concern has been caused
by the fact thnt although a great many
Spanish prisoners have been allowed to
escape, uot a single American has come
through the lines.

Manila, Dec. 11.—General Gregerio Del
Pilar, commanding Aguinaldo's bodyguard, was killed by Major Peyton
March's battalion of the Thirty-third infantry in a fight 18 miles northwest of
Cervantes, December 3. According to
reports which Genera] Young obtained

SAMPSON-SCHLEY QUESTION.
Controversy as to Which Won Santiago Victory Still Unsettle*.
New Vork, Dec. 12.—'A special from
Washington says:
lt is said that the president will soon
send to congress a special message regarding rewards for otlicers and men from the
Atlantic licet who distinguished themselves during the war with Spain and
whose gallantry has not yet been recognized.
President McKinley has the same Snmp-
son-Schley mutter under serious consideration. He is understood to be willing that
a hill should lie passed authorizing the revival of the grade of vice admiral for the
benefit of Rear Admirals Sampson and
Sc'' >y, tne former to be given seniority
of tlie other. It is believed Secretary
I-on;: will join in indorsing this solution
of the controversy.
What will probably canst, considerable
criticism among Rear Admiral {Schley's
friends is the determination of Secretary
lii.ng to name Admiral Simpson in thc
measure he is preparing, giving the
thanks of congress to the commander-in-
chief of the north Atlantic squadron and
the ollieeis and men under his r >nii»aiul.
lt is not believed, however, that tho
president, will transmit such a resolution
to eongre-s, knowing what dc.teiminetl op-
Itosition it will meet and the probability
that friends of Schley would have his name
substituted for that t»f Sampson and pass
the resolution in that form.

Mining Is a legitimate business
which requires as much prudence, good
hard common sense and cool calculation to carry to a successful end aa any
other business. There ls Just enough
risk, in the course of mining, to keep
the nerves of the operator somewhat
tightened, to make him more or less
expectant, but not enough to throw him
off his mental equilibrium and make
him lose sight of details and to hug
millions before he makes a dollar. We
are speaking of experienced practical
miners. They keep cool.

gathered at Ihe mouth of the mine, watched eagerly to catch a glimpse of the forms
us they are hurried by to the coroner's
ollice. The woik of rescue is lieing rushed forward, but it may lie day* before the
last, blackened form is taken from the
mine, for many are believed to lie buried
under a mass of earth and rock.
To extricate them will take time, and
thus fur lhe work of rescue has been
pii-lied forward at the extreme peril of
the workers, for Ihe black damp antl noxious gases have driven the rescuers back.

< IiIchki. Won.
Madison, Wis., Dec. U.-TI.e western
football championship goes to Chicago,
Before at least 12,000 people the eleven of
ine University of Chicago defeated the
University of Wisconsin by a score of 17
'o 0 in a game that for desperate playing and dean, scientific football, has probably never been equalled on a western
gridiron.
It was a game between a team which in
offensive playing was perfect, with weather and wind iu ita favor, and an eleven
whose dense play up to today had been
compact enough Ui protect the goal line
from all opposing elevens except Yale.
Bnt Chicago's manf plays were iresisti-
ble, and though the badgers fought until
they could light no more through tlie llrst
half und again in thc second half, the
Maroon backs plunged through Wisconsin's line until the bill was carried over
the goal line. Only once did Wisconsin
have a chance to score, and that one
chance they were unable lo avail thetu-
lelves of, as wilh the hall on their owu
15-yard line, ihe Chicago forwards braced
n> effectively that ou four downs the ball
wns only shoved forward three yards. In
this raspset the Chicago players surprised
their supporter*. The defensive play was
far stronger than expeoted, and even
when Wisconsin had the ball, which was
seldom, 0'Dsa was compelled to kick iu
must instances.

NELSON, B, O.
Au amusing artic.e appears in th
Victoria Colonist of the eighth i..i>'-
purp iriiny to be an interview with u
man by ihe name of 11. Musm Sin tl.
I Winnipeg, a director uf the L'Si
Mountain group of mine., in th.'
"Duiicau-Lirdeiiu" district. He says
that at Sandon all of the mints an
shutdown and that the merchants are
howling blue ruin, whon the uaioii
men ate not around, lie says also
that a few foreigners are hanging
around Sandon but that all the
miners have left. The Payne mine he
reports as working 50 non-union men
and increasing iie force daily.
Now Uiis Mr. .Small is cither a
first-clasi previa icator or, what is
more likely, home rtnl estate ilurk
who is manipulating bonie wiid-cat
iiiiiiiiig-tiock-bt'lieuii', who does not
like thc idea of any one making anything out of hia company but biuuelt.
it is not likely they will, unless they
work for it with a pick ar.d Jiovel
and then he will pay them the lean
he possibly can. If such men as
Smith would post themselves a little
better about this country they would
bo better able to pass an opinion
regarding it. As for his Etatt.uit.uis
thouc who know, know that they are
buncombe.

This is a matter which nmy bu discuss- I

Ijegging, is hard to find a good reanon I ^d* ^ AAaiJ
for. The sudden breaking up of any
of our roads or trails or the washing
out of bridges must either be repaired
by private subscriptions or lett nntil
the powers that be deliberate about refunding us part of our money whe re-
with to do the work. It is a clumsy j
system.

The Best!
Although the Slocan country has
heen comparatively quiet during the
post season, owing to most of our big
mines being closed through labor
troubles, yet a large amount of im- \
provements has been effected around
our various mines. New properties
have been discoyered and opeued up
and all of our mines are in better
shape than before the strike, the
country as a whole having advanced.
Taking it all together the past season
has its bright as well as dark side.
Sunday school teacher—I rend in the
paper of some naughty boys who cut otl'
neat's tail. Can any of you tell me
why It is wrong to do such a thing?
