1>. Bremner returned from the
Wakefield mine yesterday, and announces his intention of putting men
to work there at once. Mr. Bremner
made the trip on snowshoes, and finds
the atcent by that means comparatively easy.       J
He informed the Silvbrtokiai reporter that the mine is in excellent
condition, aod looking fine. A large
bunch of ore was run into just before
work was stopped iast fall in tho face
of the drift.
He will at present employ only a
small force, but this will be largely
increased as soon as transportation is
made less difficult As soon as they
have enough ore in sight to justify the
n--.ir.iisc, a onncentrator will be built
this summer.
Mr. Bremner ia confident that Bilverton will be one of the busiest towns
in Kootenay this summer, and is
hound eventually to be one of the
liett camps In the country. He predicts that tho payroll of our mines
this year will be double that of any
other previous season.
Mr. Bremner denic. tho report thst
tho Vancouver, Comstock and Wakefield arc to join in building a concentrator.      	
COMSTOCK CONCENTRATOR.
It is an assured fact that Silverton is

THE FIDELITY VISITED.
B. Kneebone was interviewed at the
Fidelity mine by a Fii.vkrtoni \n man
on Tuesday, and asked as to the report
that he had abandoned his contrnct
*»iih the Fidelity Mining Co, Mr.
Kneebone said that he had read the re-
|>ort of oar interview with A. Williamson, ol the company, but thought that
his announcement regarding the throw-
iniiupof the contract was a littlo premature. Heaaid: "I hive not thrown
»P the contract, and do not intend to. I
am working nine men instead ol the six
I agreed to work, snd we will stay in
'iii-session of tho Fidelity until our contract is com pieted. I received notice
to vacate the premises, but you will notice I am still here."
was, however, by tho presenco of mind
of our fellow townsman turned into
naught, Quickly leaping tho rail, safety
was sought among the crowd of rubbernecks, congregated around, and ho was
heard to remark, as he fled:
"He who flirts and runs away
will live to flirt another day."
DOYLE ARRESTED.
The arrest ol Jack Doyle, alias Jack
8ulllvan, was mado last Wednesday.
He was captured by a Mounted Polico-
man about thirty miles from Kuskanook.
He was arraigned boforo Judge Sproat
on Friday, and sent down for trial. Tho
inquest on the body of his victim shows
that the bullet passed directly through
the heart, striking the back bone and
glancing down into the hip. The murderer eiprosses no rejjret at tha tragedy
and appears unmoved by his critical
position.
RICH STRIKE IN THE IDAHO.
G. W. Hughes came to the city Thursday and reported a phenomenal lin-l al
the Idaho. The minors entered an old
tunnel that had been abandoned, and
after driving a couple of feet farther they
struck a seam .of prodigious proportions
—one they have difficulty in handling
because of tbe caving of the walls, they
being distended by the lead so much on
either side.
Samples of the find were placed hi'tlio
hands of Assayer Wilson, and it is fully
behoved one sample of exceedingly rich
galena will go 300 ounces, and another
of rich galena and copper is likely to
reach 1,000 ounces. In a very fdiort
time assays will bo completed, tho tunnel will be further pierced and a better
estimate of the value of the discovery
will be easily made. In the mean time
the company feel they have struck it
rich—Sandon Review.
ROSS LAND'S CARNIVAL.
Rossland's winter carnival, which was
held on Friday and Saturday last, was a
great success. In the athletic contests,
Rossland vanquished Neltou ut hockey
by six goals to one, and Sandon defeated
Nelson by two goals to nil. In cOrllng
bonspiel, Mr. McArthut's Rossland link
heat Nelson hy 12 Points to,fonr. Mr,
Smith's Rossland rink was defeated by
Sandon, by a score of 11 points to S.
The ski race fer the ChampioDShtp ol
Canada, down Rod .Y.ountain, a distance of a mile and a half, with a <!■• -
cent of 2,0ij0lct,t, was won by O. J eld ■
aess. who cariied away the inagnifloenl
i-ilver trophy presented by tho Bun. C.
H. Mackintosh. A masquerade ball
closed the carnival. On the last day, in
the final hockey mulch, Rossland de-
leated Sandon by 11 goals to 1.
LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
In response to the notice in the Sn.-
vkhtoman, calling for samples, we are
glad to say, that the mining men are
bringing them in liberally. W. S. Clark
informs us that ho his made arrangements for these samples to ho placed on
exhibition in the Hotel Vancouver, Van
"Oliver, the depot at Revelstoke, and
"ie Union ststion at Winnipeg. Mr.
Olark wants tho world to know of the
richness of our mines, and evoryono
iliould belp his laudablo aim. 8ome
heautiful specimens .have been handed
in, and it is to our advantage to see that
every mine is represented in the several
-roups of specimens exhibited.
A GUN PLAY.
One of our most promlnont society
men was the victim of a gun play at
*he wharf last Wednesday. He was
'""versing with one of the lady passengers on board the Slocan and reck'd no
•'anger. Hearing a stop behind him
be withdrew his gone Irom the smiling
ace of his companion, and to his horror
looked straight into the muzzle of a gun
held within a fow inches of his head.
tll'it mightInvo been a serious ail'nir,
THE GROWTH OF MINING.
Toronto, Ont., Feb., 21.—The Globe's
Ottowa correspondent in closing an article dealing with the growth of the mining interests iu Southern BritishColuin-
Liaand ol nickel production in Ontario,
after referiing to the agitation hi various
quarters for export dutios says: "The
Ministers arc at present too much engaged in absorbing information regarding tho probable effect of tho expert
duty on copper and nickel ore or matte
to give out any Information. It would,
however, rtquire very little pressure
from Ontario lo secure the duty, and
that pressure will, doobtless, bo applied
when tho people of Toronto, Hamilton
and other centers, in which a rellnery
might be located, understand that Iho
refining In Canada of other nickel ore
would moan work for a company uapl-
talistsd nt $2,000,000, and would employ
hundreds of men. The nickel which
wat exported as matte last year aaaonly
worth »40»,615 and It would, 11 relined,
bo worth almost f3,000,000."
TALK   IT   OVER
We have learned some things In the
course of a long bnilneM lite and still
have a great many more to learn. Hut
the chief thing wo have leurncd can be
condensed into one nugget of wisdom In
three words—Talk It Over.
If thy business enemy offend thee,
dont smite him on tho cheek. Take him
by the buttonhole in a friendly manner
and, talk it over.
Someone tells you that Smith, down
ihe street, has said or done something
to your detriment, Ferhnps he has
and perhaps he has not. If ho has,
your best policy is to prevent his repeating his remark or deed in the future. If
he has not, you don't want to do him ft"
injustice, even i" your own mind.
Put on your hat, loavo yotir temper at
home, go down and make a friendly call.
Be neighborly, frank, open, 'loll hltn
the truth and ask him for equal frank-
nosH. Nino hundred and ninety limes
outof a thousand tho whole matter Will
be explained and straightened out in live
minutes, and you will part M personal
friends rather than as personal eueinicH.
You will both feel better, you will Hye
side by side In harmony; the earth will
be brighter, tho sunshine clearer, your
own heart lighter, and mankind lake on
a more friendly aspect. Pon'tRo! mad
I and rush to your deaB and send a scorching lettor; be u man und go yOOrscil
' Talk It Over.

society.   Who is next?
Mrs. C. Morcncy, of Nelson, has

can assure her of a good patronage.
The returns from the last shipment of
ore from the Vancouver to the Everett
smelter are a proof of the richness of
our mineral. The average value of each
of the three cars shipped was 159ounce8

This yielded a return of $3,692 for the
shipment. The company have now six
carloads at the smelter, the returns from
which have not yot been received.
The rtqiortcd murder of Ed Allen, of
Slocan City, in Whitewater, has been
proved a fabrication of someone's
imagination. A drunken brawl was the
origin ol Ihe story, aud the report gathered streught as it spread. When th'u
report reached Silverton we were told
that a sanguinary tight was indulged in,
seventeen wounds given to the victim,
and other details. Why such a distorted
imaginary tale should bo spread abroad,
can ouly be wondered at—not explained.

Harper's Weekly says that "Great
Brit tin's position is so manifestly just
that she has the sympathy of the people
of tha civilize t world." "As to us, we

England's cause is ours, and that
if the worst should happen to England, the United States would come
nearer to having righteous occasion for
engaging in war than our jingoes have
yet dreamed of.".
Tbe following simple and practical
rule to find the exact value of fine gold
per ounce will be useful and instructive
to many of our readers: $20 in gold
weighs &l'o grains; 1(100 in gold therefore weighs 8,080 grains Reduce that
number of grains to Troy ounces (-180
grains equals one Tioy ounce), which
gives 5,875 Troy ounces. Coin is .900
fine, therefore, .900 times 5 37."> equals
4 8375 equals $20 0718, which is the
value of 1000 fino.

She drew a pic'ure of an iceberg on the

A Lake basin wool grower says the
winter thus far has been the best for
stock of all kinds since the memorable
open winter of 1885-86. He reports the
ranges in his section entirely free from
snow and says the sheep are in splendid
condition. Unless there should be some
unprecedented eold weather and heavy
snowstorms, followed by a chinook and
then more cold weather to crust the snow,
the range losses this winter will be light.
Ernest Kinimel had a miraculous escape from death the other day. He was
at work in the big raise in the Broadwater mine at Neihart, when a slab of rock
weighing over half a ton, fell upon him
without warning, from the roof. He was
crushed to the floor ol the tunnel, but
the rock fell in such a manner that its
full weight did not rest upon him. A
fellow workman, Jen-y Keegun, came to
his assistance at once and pried the rock
up enough to release Kimmei. It was
found that his left shoulder was broken,
and he is now in the hospital.
Thomas Welch, a half-breed Indian,
who was convicted of murder in the second degree in Custer count, has been taken to the state penitentiary, where he
will serve a 20-yoar term. Welch was

river rancher. Brown was killed by a
colored man named Dixon, who had been
urged to make away with him by Geddes
and Mrs. Geddes. At the time of the
shooting Geddes was in Chicago, but he
was arrested for complicity, tried last
month and found guilty of murder in the
second degree, and sentenced to 99 years
in the penitentiary. Gedder is the son
of a wealthy New Yorker, who is prominently connected with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road.

DISASTER THREATENS FRANCE.
The Trial of Zola Bring* Forth
Striking Development*—The Garrison of Parla llu* Been Reinforced—The Republic Imperiled
by the Recent Disclosures.
Pu'is, Feb. 15,---When the triul of Zola
and Pcrricux was resumed yesterday.
Jeuris, the socialist member of the chamber of deputies, was recalled. He reiterated his belief in the culpability of Ester-
hozy.
The examination of M. Bertillon, the
handwriting expert, was then resinned.
He said he thought it impossible to ask
the minister of war for the incriminating
documents seized at the residence of Dreyfus in 1894.
Laborie, counsel for Zola, thereupon
protested, and twitted Bertillon with being unwilling to testify in court while
giving interviews to newspapers. Bertillon said the interviews were false. Being
pressed by I_iborie how, unless he had
seen the secret documents, he was able
to prove nt the court-martial that Dreyfus wrote Bordereau, Bertillon answered
that he could not explain without the
documents, which were no longer in his
possession.
This statement caused a sensation iu
court, and Laborie demanded that the advocate general eompel the witness to reply. The advocate general made no answer. Finally Bertillon. who persisted in
not answering questions, left the witness
stand amidst considerable uproar, Laborie
remarking, "And that is the man upon
whose evidence Dreyfus was convicted."
The garrison of Paris has been reinforced by troops from Versailles.
Dtanater Threaten*.
New York, Feb. 15.—A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
What will be the upshot of the whole
business is a question that may be asked
with some profit at this juncture of the
Zola trial. Gravest anxiety obtains and
the Gnulois goes so far as to complain,
editorially, that "anarchy prevails in the
army, in the law and in the street," ami
calls upon M. Felix Faure to exercise his
constitutional power und put a stop to
this state of things.
Following are the views of well-known
Parisian journalists, experienced in reading the signs of their times:
Gaston Calmette of the Figaro said:
"A fault has been committed--a fault
which should Ire attributed to the court
of affairs rather than to the men who
have brought about this campaign of revision. Tbe proper position to take is a
strictly legal one, and to ask but one
question in the parliament, which combined against Dreyfus without his knowledge, to the court martial. If he has been
convicted in connection with a document
which he knows nothing about nnd of
which his counsel knew nothing, then
the law, no matter what was the fault
of Dreyfus, has been violated and the
matter should be revised. The whole
question is wrapped up in that. Everyone could associate himself with the campaign, so far as justice is concerned, but
no one could do so properly before the
revision takes place, nor with certainty
have set in motion the question of the
innocence of Dreyfus. If the matter hud
been viewed in this light France would
have avoided one of the most terrible
crises she has undergone since 1870. I
speak of the republic, and this is the first
danger to the republic which can involve
such incalculable consequences. 1 refer
to the danger of the antagonism now
springing into existence between the judicial system and the army, between the
gown and the sword, the antagonism between the political world ami our nrmy
staff."
Zola Will Be Convicted.
Henri Roehefort said: "Zola will lie
convicted. There is so great a pressure of
public opinion acting on the jury that one
can not expect anything but conviction.
On the other bund, Zola does not seem to
me to lie well defended, and bis counsel
seems to be dragging the ulTair out as
long a« possible. I do not think Zola will
go to prison, nor do I think he will be
obliged to pay a fine. Mter the triul is
over its conclusions will Ik? considered by
tbe court of cassation; but -tup'xihmg
Zola is acquitted, he will not be able to
show himself in public in 1'nris, nor for
that matter anywhere in France, without
personal danger to himself. He could
not well live in Paris with a bodyguard
continually about him."
M. Jtldel of the Petit Journal said: "1
consider the present situation very grave,
and this gravity is owing to tbe weakness
of the government."
Ferdinand Xau of the Journal said:
"The extreme gravity of the situation
does not lie in the question of the culpability or the innocence of Dreyfus, but in
the pasnions of the various parties. The
question tends to separate into two camps,
or better yet, into sects, the nation whose
unity has been in force and which, less
than a century ago, proclaimed the rights
of man—that is to say, liberty of opinion
as regards politics and religion. That is
why there is reason to feel that if some
groin of common sense does not enter
our heads, if our politicians make use of
our divisions as a spring board during
thn coming election, nnd scatter hatred
instead of preaching appeasement and
conciliation, or rather reconciliation, the
question will remain open."
CUBAN EXPEDITION SAILED.
Men   nnd   Ammunition   Went   Away
Under Very Noaea of Pinkerton*.
Jaeksonville,Fla., Feb. 15.—A special to
the Times, Union and Citizen from Tampa
snys:
Almost under the nose of Edward Gay-
lor, superintendent of Pinkerton and
Spanish spies, a large Cuban expedition
left Tampa last night and tonight, sailing from a point on Pease river. The men,
about 70 in number, walked through the
streets of Tampa about 2 o'clock this
morning and boarded a special train,
which quickly bore them to a point near
where they were to embark, and there
they remained in hiding until tonight,
when a tug took them out to the steamer
which bore them away to Cuba, Colonel
Emilio Nunez being in charge of the
steamer. It is said General Sanguilly is
tho real commander, and credit is given
this rumor from the fact that when the
men left here they were in charge of Colonel Lechuga, who waa first lieutenant of
the personal staff selected by Sangually
when he failed to get away from Jacksonville. Superintendent Gaylor, his son
and another Pinkerton man have been
here looking for Sanguilly, believing he
was near here. It is alleged the Cubans
have sent Sanguilly away on this trip to
get rid of him in the United States. The
detectives are totally ignorant of the departure of his expedition. It is understood
that 5000 rifles, 0000 pounds of dynamite,
200,000 rounds of cartridges and a large
lot of supplies made np the cargo.
LOSS OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
A     Seven-Story    New    York     Ofllce
Building Burned.
New York, Feb. 14.—Levi P. Morton's
seven-story office building with frontages
on Nassau and Ann streets, known as tlie
Nassau Chambers building, was destroyed
by fire Saturday night The firemen had a
hard battle and for three hours there was
every prospect of a great conflagration.
Every lire company in the city from Fifty-sixth street to the Battery was called
out. The Derby Desk Company occupied
the Nassau and the Ann street storerooms and the basement of the building,
where the fire originated, was occupied by
the Herald Cycle Company.
From the Nassau Chambers the fire
spread to the four-story building adjoining and the clothing store of Maduro
Brothers on the ground floor was quickly
in flames. The loss here will be practically complete.
Several firemen were badly cut by flying glass and debris, but none seriously
injured.
The World this morning states that
the loss from all sources will probably
reach $1,000,000.

Repreaentatlvea of Textile- Vnlona
Favor the Cloning of Every Cotton Mill—The 1'lan of the Federation of Labor—Worker* to Decide.
Boston, Feb. 14.—At a meeting in this
city of 65 representatives of textile unions
in New England it was unanimously voted to recommend that all unions call out
tho operatives iu every cotton mill in
New England.
The resolution was practically the outcome of the recommendation which President Gompers made to the Federation of
Labor last Sunday, in which he urged the
different unions to unite on some settled
policy on the mill situation in New England. At that meeting a committee of
four was appointed to take charge of the
matter, and after a conference this committee recommended that a general meeting be held to take definite action.
Today the representatives of the various
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. The primary object of
the meeting was to devise some methods
of rendering assistance to the New Bedford strikers. It was pointed out that if
the strikers at New Bedford could hold
out for four weeks without receiving more
that 20 cents per operative per week in
the way of outside assistance other mill
operatives could stand a similar strain,
and that if all went out it would precipitate a crisis that would have to be met
within a short time by the manufacturers.
It was also shown that the mule spinners
were in excellent condition aa regards
funds, the United Textile Workers and
the New England Federation of Weavers
were in good shape, but the rest were
short of funds.
The resolutions were discussed and at
length the matter was put to a vote, not
one being registered against the motion
that the different unions should inaugurate a general strike in every mill until
a satisfactory adjustment of wages could
be arranged. It now remains for the various national unions to take action in the
matter, but what this action will be is *
matter of conjecture. If all should acquiesce and vote to strike, 147,000 operatives would undoubtedly cease work, and
the manufacture of cotton goods throughout New England would stop. If, on the
other hand, only a few unions should vote
to strike, the refusal of the others would
still keep a large portion of the mills in
operation.
Inasmuch, however, as the meeting was
the outcome of President Gompers' suggestion, and as he idmonished the members of the Federation of labor to join
hands and assist the New Bedford strikers, it seems probuble that nearly every
union will carry out the recommendations
and that one of the greatest strikes ever
seen in this country Is impending.

relief expedition are sent north by the
Oregon.
General Merriani. commanding the department of the Columbia, expected to

Captain D. L. Brainerd, who is the dis
bursing officer of the government relief
expedition, was among the passengers.
He has orders to go to Dyea and there
await the arrival of the government rein
deer and the Snow & Ice Locomotive Com

Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. 15.—J. Alexander, a prominent merchant, has received
a telegram from a high railroad source
that the U. It. & N. would immediately
commence operation on the extension of
a railroad line to Lewiston. It has been
understood to be the boast of the O. 11. &.
N that when the Northern Pacific entered this field the former company would
show a bitter competition, nnd the information received today is the general subject of discussion on tlie streets. The
company will probably extend their line
from Wallula up the Snake river valley, tapping the grain territory of tbe
high lands by chutes, as several surveys
by that route have already been made.
By that route the road would run on tlie
north side of the Snake river and cross
the Clearwater river to Lewiston.
Discussion of the matter has developed
the fact that two weeks ago a party of
C. B. & Q. surveyors left Uniontown for
the Pierce City country to work on the
western approach to the Lo Lo pass. Tills
company lias had a survey party working
on the Montana side for some time past,
but recently returned to Billings, owing
to heavy snows. It is stated that they
will resume work April 1, and will join
the party from this side on tlie Lo Lo
trail some time during the coming summer, completing the survey. Hillings is
now the western terminus of the C. B. t
Q. and it is generally understood to lie
the policy of the company to push the
line to the coast as soon as the most practicable and direct route could be determined. The attention given the Lo Lo
pass by the company recently seems to
give substantial support to ihe belief that
that route has been accepted, in which
event the road will penetrate the Pierce
City mining region and drop down into
the Clearwater valley, and by way of
Lewiston, proceed to Portland, through
the Columbia basin, making the shortest
transcontinental route to the coast by
36 hours.

A GLANCE OVER MINING CAMPS
The Annual Report of the Tiger *
Poor man—Men* From Cnnyon
City—Work In Eastern Oregon-
Activity In the Vicinity of White-
hull,  Mont.
Use only one heaping teaspoonful of
Schilling's Best Baking Powder to a
quart of flour.
V must uk tw* teaspoonfuls of other baking powder.
The report of Frank R. Culbertson,
manager of the Consolidated Tiger A
Poorman Mining Company, for 1807 has
just been made public. It shows that
during the 10 months during which the
property was operated 01,089 tons of crude
ore were mined und hoisted, which produced 15,810 tons of concentrates, worth
$431,870.87 above freight and smelting
charges. The expenses of the year, including about $15,000 for new machinery,
were $292,835.78, leaving a net profit of
$130,044.09, or over $15,000 per month,
exclusive of additions to tbe plant.
The Tigcr-Poorman pumps some 3000
gallons of water per minute, which, together with the crude ore, wus all hoisted
1200 feet or more, and the water was
steadily pumped for tbe two months before the mill was ready to run, making
it the most expensive to operate of all the
Coenr d'Alene mines.
The stockholders ore told to expect dividends about March 1, the old indebtedness of the company having been wiped
out.
With this showing for the Tiger-Poor-
man the public can readily believe the
rumors occasionally floating about of
$75,000 monthly dividends by other mines
which yield higher grade ore than this
ono and take it out in greater quantities
without any ex|iense for hoisting or
pumping.
Cnnyon   City   Strike.
Ijist year several rich ledges of gold-
bearing quaitz were discovered in the
Susunville mining district. Also have several rich discoveries been made in mines
in the Granite and Robinsonville camps,
but the latest and richest of all, similar
in many respects to Klondike strikes, has
been disclosed near the famous old mining
camp of Cnnyon City. The Great Northern mine is owned and operated by Isaac
Guker, having located the same in September, 1890. Two men have taken over
$1000 from the claim with "a mortar and
pan during the post week. The gold is
licing taken from a cut 20 feet long and
12 feet deep, in which there is an exceedingly rich ledge 12 or 14 inches in
width, and which makes an average yield
of $8 to the pound, aggregating $10,000
to the ton. In one instance $82.50 was
secured from four pounds of decomposed
Quarts.
Sunlight nnd Cardnell District.
The mining activity in the vicinity of
Whitehall, Mont., seems to be on the increase, and the good weather of the past
month has given it an impetus. Over in
what is culled the Sunlight or Curdwell
district much good work is going fin, and
there is a strong likelihood thnt the present month will see some ore shipped from
there. There nrc some 15 men working
on the various claims of that district,
and the very best reports are coining in.
Henry Schmidt is developing the Hlnck
Eagle, nnd has a very large liody of ore.
a pint of which will do to ship. Henry
Heider, who says that Linneman nnd
Schmidt of Unite are in with him, is developing a claim and is in fair ore. Geo.
Watciman and Mr. Hindiunn are at work
on a claim and are saving ore that will
pay to ship.
Hilda* r Group of  Mines.
A 10-stamp mill and other equipments
necessary   have been  purchased  for  the
lladger group of mines near Susnnville,
in eastern Oregon.   The group consists of
the Badger,  the Hughes, the McQuade.
the King of the Hills and the Steamboat
gold quartz lodes, and is situated on the
south side of Klk creek, in the Elk Creek
mining district, in ('.rant county. 38 miles
from Sunipter, the nearest railway point.
It is the intention to ship 15 car loads
of ore while awuiting the arrival of the
machinery,  which  is not expected  until
j Mny 1st.   The shipping ore averages $82
' per ton. and the pay strenk in the veins
j from 18 inches to 7 feet, and none of the
i ore- mills   less  than   $10   per   ton.    The
ground bus been opened up by over 700
feet of tunneling und will lie fully developed by spring.
\in I   It   Itrpubllr.
The lively young mining camp on the
Colville reservation will lie known as
Eureka no longer. I'ncle Sam's government has named it Republic nnd John
Stack hns been appointed postmnster.
The postoflice will lie in operation within
a short time, delay being occasioned by
the fact thnt certain official documents
concerning the appointment of the new
postmaster are missing, having been lost
in transit. The crusher of the Republic
mine of Eureka camp was the heaviest
piece of mining machinery ever hauled
over the Marcus road. It weighed 13,000
pounds, nnd wns six days on the road
from Marcus to Eureka.
Colombia and Kootenay.
News comes from Rossland of the purchase of the Columbia and Kootenay
mine by the British America Corporation
for $275,000. The Trail Mining Company
held a meeting in Chicago Monday and
wind C. H. Mackintosh accepting the offer of the sum named, He immediately
wind the company the first payment on
the mine. The exact terms of the sale arc
not mentioned. Next to the War Eagle
deal this is the largest sale ever consummated in the camp. The mine is equipped
with a plant slued at $20,000, consisting
of a 30-drill compressor and three 125
horse power engines. The property consists of four claims—the Columbia, Koote-
nny, Copper Jack and the Tip Top and
the Kootenay fraction.

AN INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Recall  of Mlniater De Lome la
Considered   Certain.
Washing!on, Feb. 10.-—The publication
in what is supposed to be nn nutograph
letter written by Senor De Lome, the
Spanish mini-tor, to his friend, Canelejas,
criticising the president with the utmost
freedom, cnused a sensation in offlcinl
Washington and soon will be followed
by Minister De Lome's departure from the
United States.
In this biter the Spanish minister refers to President McKinley as "weak and
catering (•■ the rabble," and as a "low
politician, who desires to stand well with
the jingoes of his party."
Why should the laundress always, be in

ft&£2?s
New York, Feb. 15.—A speciul lo the
Herald from Washington says:
The De Lome incident is still unsettled.
The cipher dispatch received from Minister Woodford was not entirely satisfactory. It was taken to the president by
Assistant Secretary Day, and ufter n short
conference between them Mr. Day sent
another cablegram to Minister Woodford.
Officially nothing will be said about
these, two communications further than
that, the incident is not yet entirely closed.
It is said that Minister Woodford's cable
was n report of his interview with the
Spanish minister of foreign uffuirs. which
showed that no direct disclaimer had been
made by Spain of that feature of the De
Lome letter which has been interpreted to
Indicate the insincerity of tbe Spanish
government in the matter of autonomy
and in the negotiations for a Commercial
treaty
Absence of such disclaimer is not entirely sntisfnetory to the president. Mr.
McKinley lielieves thnt when the Spanish
minister of foreign nffnirs fully appreciates the interpretation which has been
put upon Do lime's letter in some quarters in the United States, be will hasten
to disavow it. Minister Woodford has
been told in a positive way what the president would like to have done. In other
words, it is said he will use delicate diplomacy to secure the end destred, and the
president is sincere in the belief that another interview between Minister Woodford and the minister for foreign uffuirs
in Madrid will end the whole trouble.
As fur as that feature of the De Lome
letter criticising the president is concerned, the incident is closed.

"WHERE I CAME FROM."
I like to herr mon sing the praise
Of lands that gave them birth ;
Man's native place should always bo
The dearest spot on earth;
Thero never waa a hero who
Did not look back through tears
And tender memories upon
The scenes of early years.
But you and I too often meet
Men who profess to find
All things less splendid here than were
Tho things they left behind ;
Their native lands had better laws
And better men, they say,
And oft they make us wonder why
They over came away!
I like to hear men Bing the praise
Of lands that cave them birth ;'
Men's native place should ever bo
Tho dearest spot on earth ;
But when a follow has to peek
Ilis bread some other where.
Let him transplant a little of
His love of country there !

A PROPOSED CHANGE.
The proposed changes in the mining
laws recently advanced by Prof
Oarlyle, Provincial Mineralogist, are,
we think, worthy of adoption by the
Legislature of this Province, The
change regarding work before record
is aho an excellent one. If, by
any change of law, the indisorimiuato
staking of numerous claims by one,
who intends only to re-locate at the
expiration of the year without doing
assessment work, cau be prevented,
by all means let us havo the law. We
know several instances of prospectors
who have located as many as ten, and
sometimes twenty claims in a single
year and aa they, as u rule, cannot hire
men to do their work and cannot do all
themselves their claims stand, unopened, only to In1 re-located in a
partners' or friends' name.j It is such
things as these which is holding our
country back. If, say a ten-foot shaft
or tunnel h:id to be sunk or driven on
the lead before a recoid of the location could lie made, we would have.
leg1) of our mountains covered with
claims, soma of which have not had a
pick stuck in them since they were
located.
Another change is recommended by
Prof. Carlyle; viz: That all claims
should run out on the 31st of each
December. This chango would also
lessen the damage to the country by
the class of prospectors referred to
above. Fcr instanci; no assessment
woik being clone on several claims,
owned by one man, he could not relocate them all. Other legitimate
prospectors would have a clianco to
locate some of the claims not represented. Thia change would also have
the effect of preventing any systematic jumping of u> represented property. At present, with claims' running out at all times of the year, one
man can obtain claim* in divers parts
of the district, but with the proposed
ch*ngp, everyone would know at what
time a rc-location could be made.
We also commend the blazing of
side lines. As it, is now, it ia'qt-jfte*
possible to prospect over sevoral claims
without crossing a line. The Mine-
Ownei's Association, at a meeting held
in Nelson, have decided to ask t mt
on payment of a fee of $5, an additional two months be granted to the
year, as at present, in which to do
assessment work Why a year's time
in which to do $100 worth of work is
not long enough, we do not know, and
this asked for change would be very
liable lo cause considerably OaufusiOD
in regard to re-locations. We see no
good reasons given for this extension
of time.
tin- pockiug up of supplies, but this
force will be largely increased during
the season.
The L. Ii, the famous gold-arsenic
property on Red mountain, will ho
opened up and worked. The force at
♦he Curriis must bo largely increased
in the near future, as tho air drills are
to be put into use at once. The Texas
Boy Fraction, the MuMere, the Little
Giant, the Standard, and many more
of the best of pur prospects will be
developed.
The Comstock mine will be working a larger force than at present, as
Superintendent Thomas informs us
that he expects to do considerable development work all summ cr.       »
If the rumored sale of the Fidelity
should be brought about, it is extremely probable that a large force
will be put to work on that property,
and tho adjoining claim, the Frisco,
will work five men all summer. Thb
Emily Edith promises to be ft heavy
shipper, and it's force is soon to be increased.
Thero is one noticeable fact, and one
that should give every mining man increased confidence in our mines, and
that is that every mine and prospect
that has been worked this winter
shows marked signs of improvement.
What is needed only, on most of our
prospects, is work.

One of our contemporaries in last
week's issue, refer, to Silverton as
Four-Mile. We would like to enlighten our friend that the name of
Four-Mile is antiquated, and was
dropped year* ago. The nama ''Silverton" seems to hi- a bugbear to some,
of our neighbor! and it is carefully
avoided when referring to any of our
mines. Whether this is jealousy or
only ignorance, is doubtful, but they
should be honest enought to credit us
with what is due. The fict that Silverton is bound to be the lnading town
on Slocan lalcccan bo no longer ignored,
and the sooner our neighbors recognize it and join us in our prosperity,
the better for them.
Kuskanook murderer and a short

prided ourselves on our law and order
and with good reason, but there must
be no 'delays or quibbles over this
last brutal affair. Tho minute the
lawless element imagiue that the
British laws are to be administered,
as they unfortunately are in some
parts of the Western States, that
minute will see a greot increase iu the
number of such affairs as that at
Kuskanook. A swift judgment for
this crime will show others that we
still have power and will to enforce
our laws and that in Canada retribution must surely  follow crime.

Genial John Keen, of Kaslo, has
comj.l'jted the assessment list for
West Kootenay. The assessed value
of real property in Silverton is $91,-
350; personal property is valued at
§7,000, thus bringing the total actual
value as assessed, §98,350. The tax
for real estate and improvements is
§730.80, and for personal property is
§50.50, being a total of §783.30. In
a lettfr to the Silveitosias, Mr.
Keen, speaking of the above ligures,
says: "This should show you, you
ore alive town, and, though a young
one, have wealth. Mr. Keen further

next assesses Silverton property he
confidently expects to find it trebled

From all reports the Legislature at

of the House a liar, and another Minister threatens to punch an antagon.

bare heads, and then departod without
uttering a word. The fair ones were
at Grst startled, then smiled, and
gazed intently on the men who had
thus politely and respectfully saluted
them. What did all mean, tho men
began to ask, for they had not been
