SILVERTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1898. NUMBER 25 ENDORSED. Hie Idea of a Miuing Convention Meets With Approval, ,HK MEMBER-ELECT VISITS IS. The Weeklj* Uounrt-up of New* „„,! uroU-dE Uie lloe-n. in Hubert F Green, our ropresentut'tve, Ihorooghly indorses tho efforts of the Sii.vkktonian, in agitating for a Minim.' Convention for the Province. He called nt the Sn.vEitii.NiAS office, when in town this week. He did not think that many alteratioiiB to the mining laws were necessary, but that many good eugges- tiuns would donbtless come up at a Convention. A sure result for the good would he felt, at any rate, by the broad ening influence tlio members of such a convention would mutually exercise on each other. He bad talked, he said, to Bevcral mining men on tho subject, llnce lie had seen the suggestion in tlie Siiweh- TOMAN, and the majority endorsed tin' i,|,. i. jV few expressed a f-ar that eoni, too radical measures might bo forced in thc convention. In nt-iswer toaqiwi-tioii regartling the anti-Chinese demonstration, made lat<>- lv by the Sandon miners, he snid that he condemned the action taken by the men, while being in perfect sympathy with the feeling Ihat prompted it.

True it is a good source of revenue for the Government, hut it is an injustice to the prospector and working man and checks thedcv-'lt-potneiit of our mining indnstrv, enabling speculators to hold large tracts of our best mineral lands for years, without doing one day's work on it."

Paris, Dec. 12.—Spain and the United States are at pence, and the armistice which has been in existence since the first negotiations at Washington is made permanent. The joint peace commission met at 3:30 p. in. Saturday, and at 5 took a recess until 7 p. m., to await the engrossing of the treaty. TJje treaty was signed at 8:45. This finished, two copies were passed around the table, the commissioners signing them in the order of their rank, as follows: William It. Day, Senator Cushiiian K. Davis, Senator William P. Frye, White- law Reid and Senator tieorge Gray; Senor Montero Bios, Senor Abarzusa, Senor Gar- nica, Senor Villaiirutiatuid General Correo y Saons, each commission signing its opponent's treaty. Both were tied with the Spanish and American colors. When the seals were prepared to he affixed attendants were sent scurrying for ribbons of the French tri-color, with which the documents were sealed as a compliment to the French hosts of the commissions. FLAG UNFURLED AT MABIANAO American Troopa Hnve Taken For. mill Poaaeaalon. Havana, Dec 12.—The United States flag was unfurled over the hall of Mari- anao at 12:30 o'clock Saturday by Colonel Young, commanding the battalion of engineers at Playa del Marianao. Tlie detachment of engineers drawn up in thc square presented arms, and the Americans snd municipal officers present stood with bared heads during the ceremony. A crowd of townspeople which had gathered greeted the raising of the nag with cries of "Viva Americanos." The Spanish troops wit-drew on Thursday, and for two days the Marquis de Cervera, late military commander of tlie department, was the sole Spanish authority in the town and sur- (rhich embrace 5000 was maintained ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ last night thc M- .ais de Cervera turnefJ over the mu- r -ipal government to Alcalde Gomez, and ..he latter at once called \upon Colonel Young, who will be the comniandant temporarily. A small guard ia nLeded hi tlie town. I This was a lively day on thite bourse, •with large speculative dealings foV future deliveries. As the time for Auieiacan control of the island approaches, |-*sliaie<- in various insular corporations hive risen to near par. Street railroad slpcks, which were six months ago quoted ult 34, sold at 91 1-4, and today at U9, andAJnited railway shares advanced 4 pohjU to 53, while municipal 0 per cents, issffd at 90, sold today at 102. A committee representing the officers and men of the guerillas and the mobilized troops today waited upon Governor General Castellanos and proposed that the mcu represented by the committee be given 60 per cent of the pay due them before the end of this month, offering to present the other half to the Spanish government for the benellt of the navy. General Castellanos will forward the proposition to Madrid. A HINT FOB COLD WEATHER. A Few 8nsa*eatlona ln Regard to Winter Clot-lns*. GlrTORD, THE SWAMP KINO. He Is Now Ball-Ins a 8e-ente<*n-MUe -Railway i -rough Bis Land. Thirty years ago Benjamin J. Glfford laid tbe foundation of his large fortune hy a scheme for reclaiming swamp lands In tbe counties of Kankakee, Champaign and Livingston, ln Illinois. These lands had the best of soil, yet, on account of their wet character, were useless for farming purposes. By virtue of large canals and dredge ditches these lands were all brought into market, and from them Mr. Glfford derived largo profits. Before selling out the major portion of his laud ln Illinois he planned nnd built a railway running from West Lebanon, Ind., to Rantoul, 111., a distance of about seventy miles, which was afterward sold to the Illinois Central ltnllroad Company, and la now a part of that system. In this . transaction Mr. Glfford made $250,000. In 1892 he went to Jasper County, Indiana and began the purchase of lands. This county bas been noted for Us swamp. After a thorough examination of the character of tho soil of these swamp lands, and running levels to ascertain whether there was any outlet for the water, Mr. Glfford began to purchase land In this county, paying from $5 to $25 per acre. He has continued to purchase until he ls now the owner of approximately 33,000 acres of land ln Jasper County, extending from northwest to southeast a distance of twenty miles. Nelson Morris, of Chicago, owns 20,000 acres adjoining Mr. Glfford's land upon the north and running to the Kankakee River. Mr. Glfford first excavated n system of canals or dredge ditches of at least 100 miles In length at an Immense cost. He has constructed 120 houses and barns at an average cost of $000 each. He has, within the last two yenrs, taken off his land railway ties enough to complete twenty-five to thirty miles of railway. He has now commenced the construction of a railway beginning nbout two and one-half miles east of De Motte station, on the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa Railway, running thence southeasterly a distance of twenty miles. This line, with the exception of probably two miles, is wholly upon bis own land. It crosses tbe Chicago aud Indiana coal branch of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway at Knliuan station. The presumption Is that eventually the road will be constructed on north across the Kankakee River to Hebron station on the Panhandle Railway, and possibly there may be an iu- .JIJCO «««*r 0IFF0RDS LANDS. "Now that cold weather is beginning," Harper's Bazar says, "it is well to remember that if the wrists and the ankles are warm, the rest of the body is not likely to suffer. Worsted wristlets have gone out of fashion, but the muff and the long- sleeved coat serve quite as good a purpose. Few things, however, have been found to take the place of leggings, which, if they are of worsted, are apt to be awkward and if they are buttoned are sure to tear the skirts. The long-knitted tights were found a trouble to put on when one was in a hurry to go out Yet to have some thing which can be easily slipped on aud off has become a necessity. Women in the overheated houses of the present day have discovered that it is impossible to dress. as their grandmothers did, in warm, unwieldy flannels, or even in the same warm clothes in which they must dress for the streets. They claim, too, that if one dresses in light clothes for the house and in something warmer for tlie street the dangers of taking cold are minimized. The ingenious young woman of the present day buys golf stockings without feet and these She slips on over her cotton stockings when she goes out of doors. They are snug enough not to slip and slide, and having no hooks or catchuble places about them, answer a purpose in cold weather which nothing else has done." To Quench the Flame*. Cleveland, O., Dec. 13.—While the steamer Aurora was towing the barge Au- rania through a big field of ice near Bar Point, Lake Erie, fire broke out on the Aurora and She had to be scuttled to prevent total destruction. She was the finest wooden boat on the lakes, and was valued at $125,000. The fate of the crew is' unknown, but it is supposed they escaped on the ice. F Huls Rivera Returns, , New York, Dec. 13.—General R»'s Rivera, the Cuban general, recently liberated by the Spanish from Ceuta, was a passenger by the steamer La Champagne. wWtsH Wived today. dependent line on into Chicago without regard to the Panhandle connection. It will run southeasterly to Monon station on the Monon Railway. The change In this awamp region wrought by the system of canals ls almost beyond belief. Within a year and a half lands which would mire a cow or a horse—in fact, lands where an animal would go out of sight, where the | muck was from three to six feet deep- have been made to produce corn eight feet high; and a region which was a wilderness without population has been settled by over 100 families, bringing Into this county an increase In population of 400 to GOO people. Mr. Clifford Is reputed, at the present time, to be worth from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and has no family except a wife.—Chicago Chronicle. Tallin,. Down the Captain. A former commodore-captain of a "a- mous trans-Atlantic line, whilst friendly and polite to his passengers when below, was very much the reverse if approached when on duty. As he happened to be on deck one fine afternoon, a lady, quite unaware of this peculiarity, accosting him with some trifling query as to the probable duration of the favorable weather, was both surprised end Indignant to get curtly answered: "Don't know, ma'am—don't know. Better go and ask the cook." The lady, though taken somewhat aback, was quite equal to the occasion, and rejoined: "Oh! I beg a thousand pardons. Excuse me, pray.

"Well, ^■■^■*ver>albWM*?w A depth of 300 feet has been attained on the Black Tail mine at Republic, and the ruling values of the ore at that point range from $25 to $30 per ton in gold. A Boanburo* Property. Twelve feet of good ore valued at $11 per ton in gold has been disclosed on the surface of the Ben Franklin, owned by Bosshurg parties. Picked specimens from the ledge assayed $21 per ton- Great Northern Mine. Tlie Great Northern mine on Douglas mountain is working two shifts of four men, has reached a depth of 150 feet and has a full face of shipping oro bearing gold values of from $20 to $35 per ton. The management expects to ship soon. A New Smelter. Jay P. Graves writes fvom Montreal tliat the subscription to the stock of the smelter company which ho has just floated there to build reduction works for the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines in Greenwood camp, B. C, was oversubscribed over 1,000,000 shares. The capit-liza-'j tion is to be 1)00,000 shares. The Red Lion. The Red Lion claim at Rock Cut, near Bosshurg, is developing some good ore at a depth of 70 feet. Tlie ore is similar to that found in the Little Giant, but not so high in values, yet there is enough of the yellow metal in the undetermined width of the vein to make the ore pay under economical treatment. Cottng-e Grove -tinea. The Black Butte mine near Cottage Grove, Wash., is turning out quicksilver at the rate of $30,000 per month. The output will average a ton a day for the year round, and the smelter has a mountain of cinnabar ore to draw on. A smelter costing $66,000 was erected during the summer and commenced operations October 10th. The Black Butte company is composed of J. Gamble, Capt Ohilcott, J. E. Chilberg, W. Hastings and J. Behrman. The Zala, In Sheridan. The whim is now in place on the Zala M. mine in Sheridan camp, near Republic, and supplies are on hand for the winter. Sept. Snyder says the vein is widening all tlie time and values improving. The camp has other good prospects that will be heard from in the early spring, amongst the principal claims being the Polar Star group, Polar Fraction, American Flag, and Uncle Sam, all of which have had some development, and the spring will see them all working. The Bonanaa Mine. All of the machinery in the Bonanza mine, near Bosshurg, 'has been placed and the property is now producing from the four levels reaching down to a depth of nearly 600 feet all of 100 tons of shipping ore each day. The recent fall of snow has been of much benefit to the Bonanza mine as the roads were so badly cut up by wagons that conveyance of the ore became almost impracticable. For the next three months the ore will be transferred on sleds, and in tlie spring it is probable that a tramway will be built from the mine to the railway station. Large Caah Payment. The largest payment of cash made to any individual of New Denver, B. C, in many months, was $13,000 paid on the j 000 per annum, by the company represented by J. A. Marks of Nelson to James Merino as the final payment for his three-eighths interest in the California group of claims on Silver mountain. The first payment, of $4,000, was made about a year ago. Mr. Merino is also interested in the Marion, an adjoining claim, where they have a strong ledge, carrying from four to eight inches of galena ore. This property is being worked by the owners, and it is their intention to push work throughout the winter, opening the mine for extensive operations. The B. C. In Bonndary. The famous "B. C." in tho Boundary country, between Grand Forks and Greenwood, is under option to R. G. Edwards Leckie, of Rossland. Mr. Leckie is representing in the deal the same interests that control the Montreal Goldflelds, which owns the Coxey and is operating the Gertrude in the Rossland camp. Clarence J. McCuaig is understood to be one of the principals most interested in the negotiations to secure the "B. C." A. H. Harrison and 10. E. Diehard, the owners of the property, were In Rossland recently, where negotiations were conducted. The terms of the deal have not been stated, but it must be a sum ranging in the hundreds of thousands. The "B. C." is one of the best known properties in the Boundary country. It has an immense body of copper ore, which carries small values in gold. A Rich Strike. The First Shot mine, in Jefferson county, Mont., at the head of Rocker creek, is owned and operated by County Attorney Lyons and Sheriff Sherlock. Recently they shipped several sacks, containing in all 700 pounds, from the property, which netted $1,160. They went to Butte with a lot of samples, which they had assayed, with the following results: twenty ounces In gold, 1,104 ounces in silver, 65 per cent lead, and a trace of copper; total value, $1,146.00. They claim there is a large amount of this ore in sight in the mine. The lead is a wide one, and the width of tho pay streak from which the above sample was taken is fully one foot. The First Shot mine is located about three miles north of the Eva May property. Notea. The final payment of $40,000 on the $110,000 bond on the Mollie Gibsci, near Slocan City, was made a few days ago. The deepest vertical shaft in Montana is the Green Mountain at Butte. It is £100 feet, and is being driven still deeper. Work haa been resumed on the Scotia mine on Toulou mountain. Tlie 8cotia has 66 feet of shaft and 260 feet of tunneling, the latter being in a full face of shipping ore. The property now has a good wagon road leading up to the camp. The East Pacific mine, near Winston, is producing more wealth thnn ever before. At the present time it is proposed to construct a flume preparatory to putting in a 400-horso power electric plant with which to illuminate Winston and adjacent towns. Dr. S. H. Manly has purchased a full half interest in the American Flag mine at Sheridan camp, and his friends now consider him to be one of the solid mining men of the reservation. The ledge is four feet wide and its values in gold alone run from $40 to $150 per ton. A public meeting of the citizens of Slocan City was held last week in the Arlington Hotel, to discuss the advisability of fonning an organization ui further the mining interests of the town and district. Mr. Gething wus appointed chairman, and tieorge Nichols secretary of the meeting. It was moved by Mr. Gilland that an organization be formed to be known as the Slocan City Miners' Exchange, which motion was carried. There have been moro men at work on the placer mines of Libby Creek, in Montana, this year and less gold taken out than in any previous season. The cause of this is that most of the men who were working this year were doing development work, opening up claims in better shape than ever before and preparing to take out the yellow metal in increased quantities. The incorporated companies of the Cripple Creek district will disburse $318,- £50 among shareholders this month which places November in the lead in this respect of any month of the year. The total dividends for the eleven months reaches the big sum of $2,465,910. This does not include the earnings of several liig properties which are either owned by ■irivate parties cr close corporations, nor the profits of lessees. Boston, New York and New Haven capitalists have associated themselves with California men in developing a new copper district, lying about 25 miles east of Randsburg, Cal. The deepest shaft in the district is 153 feet, and that, as well as nearly forty others from 30 to 40 feet deep, show an improvement in quantity and quality of ore as work proceeds. Tlie ores are red and black oxides, with a few shafts showing green carbonates. Tlie new stamp mills the Treadwell and allied companies have been erecting on Douglas Island, Alaska, are completed and after being tested will be turned over to the companies by the engineers now in charge. These mills give Douglas Island a total of 880 stamps, with a capacity for crushing 2,500 tons of ore daily. This will be a greater amount of ore than is crushed on an equal area anywhere else in the world.

Iii the Central jail of Rangoon the British officials have introduced a method of making the convicts work which is a very effective mode of punishment. It is a tread mill on a large scale. Big wooden cylinders aliout seven feet in diameter are provided with keen edged plank steps all around, Above the eyhitlers at a convenient height there is a heavy iron pole, stretching across the entire room, upon which the chains of the convicts working in the treadmill are fattened. When they are all in their placet tlio bolt holding the cylinders in one position is removed and convicts must tread witliuut a stop for two hours and a half, if one of tlicin stops treading he slips down as far nc the chain permits, but tlie plunk steps beat against Ids shinboncs so vigorously that the skin is bruised and scraped. This is exceedingly painful, and the convict hurriedly catches up the next step and trise to tread along with the others. This barbarous punishment is a necessity however, for the natives are extremely fanatical, and death has no terrors for them. Imprisonment would Defor them a favorite method of living a life of seclusion and meditation, with no care for food or lodging, were it not for the compulsory work. The large shed containing the six tread-mill cylinders is situated next to shops where the power is used in woodworking machinery. About 70 convicts are at work there at one time.

When I was a boy ony one who had $100,000 to his name was considered fairly rich, but at present people think little of a trifle like that Even in Europe, w here fortunes are gained much less rapidly than with us, a property must now be many times larger than in the first half of the century before it begins to dazzle society. 1 suppose some of you have read "Monte Cristo," and you know that few things were too extravagant for the imagination of Alexander Dumas. He meant that his romantic hero should lead the whole world in magnificence, and probably thought of giving him the biggest bank account ever heard of But Monte Cristo was worth only a fraction of what several real men now living can show. This was not the sort of mistake you would have expected from Dumas. It would have cost him only a stroke of thc pen to multiply tlie hoard in the Mediterranean island a hundred times; but, although his novel was written when he was 40 years old, he could not foresee that his fiction would be utterly distanced by solid facts before he died.

The Merchants' Association of New York at a meeting determined to begin a crusade to compel the express companies to pay the war stamp tax. The state department is informed that the exports from Germany to the United States during the quarter ending Septem- br 30 amounted to $19,789,007, an increase of $5,110,003 over the previous year. During the year ended June 30, 1808, Missouri produced 2,838,152 tons of coal, an increase over the preceding year of 17 per cent. During the same time it produced 139,008 tons of sine and 73,087 tons of lead. Mr. Cotter estimates the hop crop of 1808, which is being marketed- through Puyallup dealers, at 4,000 bales. At the present prices this represents about $125,- 000. The fruit crop of 1898, including that which is consumed by growers, measured by selling prices, will aggregate $30,- 000, antl will exceed rather than fall below that figure. The monthly comparative statement of government receipts and expenditures shows that during the month of November receipts aggregated $38,900,915, as compared with $43,303,005 for November last year. In that*month, however, is included about $18,000,000 received on account of the Pacific railroad settlement. Independent of these payments, receipts exceeded those for November, 1897, by about $13,500,000. Receipts from customs last month were $15,335,200, an increase of about $5,500,000; from internal revenue sources, $21,330,743, an increase of nearly $8,000,000. Disbursements during the last month amounted to $49,0*00,- 080, an increase on account of the war of nearly $11,000,000. Since July receipts have aggregated $204,557,083, as compared with $148,113,875 for 1897. According to the Bidletin of the National Association of Wool Growers, BRYAN TO QUIT SOLDIERING. Will Reals-. Hia Commission aa Colonel of the Third Nebr-akn. Savannah, Ga., Dee. 12.—Colonel W. J. Eryan, colonel of the Third Nebraska regiment, has either forwarded his resignation to Washington or is about to do so. Of this there seems to be no doubt. Today he called ou General Lee, commander of the Seventh corps, of which Colonel Bryan's regiment is a part, and is understood to bave announced his intention of quitting the service. General Lee is to sail for Cuba on the transport Panama tomorrow, and Colonel Bryan is believed to have hastened his decision in order that he may acquaint his corps commander with his intention prior to Lee's departure for the island. Neither of the commanding generals would discuss the matter and referred to Colonel Bryan as the proper source to get any news. Colonel Bryan would neither deny nor confirm the rumor, but stated that when the time came 'he would prepare a written statement and give it to the press. so that there would be no possibility of anv misstatement as to his intention.

Washington, Dec. 13.—General Calixto Garcia, the distinguished Cuban warrior and leader, and the head of the commission elected by the Cuban assembly to visit this country, died Sunday morning shortly after 10 o'clock at the Hotel Raleigh, where the commission has its headquarters. The sudden change from the warm climate of Cuba, with the hardships lie hail there endured, to the wintry weather of New York, was responsible for the pneumonia which resulted in his demise. He contracted a slight cold in New York which did not assume an alarming stage until the early part of last week. On Tuesday night General Garcia, in company with the other members of the commission, attended a dinner given in his honor by General Miles, and it was ex- jiosiire there that caused the disease which culminated in his death. The Funeral. Washington, Dec. 13.—The funeral of General Garcia will be held Wednesday at St. Patrick's church, this city. 'Die body will be placed in a metallic casket nnd deposited in a vault at Arlington pending removal to Cuba. The Dolphin will be designated by the navy department us the vessel to carry the remains to Cuba. She is now lying at the Washington navy yards. MILES EXPLAINS HIS BILL.

Washington, Dec. 13.—General Miles appeared yesterday before Uie house committee on military affairs for a hearing relative to the proposed reorganization and increase of the army. Two bills for this purpose are pending, one drawn by Miles and introduced in the senate as tlie Hawley bill, and another introduced in the house by Chairman Hull of the military committee. lt is necessary now to consider both our military requirements at home, those in the new colonial possessions and also those raised by the increasing demands for our seacoast fortifications, says Miles. When the entire increase in coast defense* is completed 305 batteries would be required. These considerations, said Miles, had led him to recommend a standard of one soldier for one thousand of the population at home, with native troops on tiie basis of two native soldiers for every 1000 of the population.

RATTLEBS AND THE WEATHER EIGHTS IN SAMOA MAINTAINED. Onr Government Not a Party to Any Scheme of Germany's. Washington, Dec. 13.--The United States government is not aware that any arrangement has been made for transfer of tlu.* title of the Sanioan islands to Germany, and being one of the parties to the tripartite agreement under which Samoa is now governed, it is not conceivable that any change in the status of the islands can bc made without the knowledge of this government. The publication intimating Germany hat acquired sole rights in the Samoan group is recognized as a diplomatic feeler. The importance of the islands as a port of Hill for American shipping promising to become very great in the event of the 0]>eniiig of an isthmian canal, the government of the United States will not consent to relinquish any of its rights.

Seldom has it happened that a rattlesnake bite lias been sufficient to destroy the reputation of a weather prophet. Rattlesnake Jack Mogan is known from one end of Mojave desert to the other. An eccentric sort of man, he likes to visit the haunts of snakes, and often pitches camp for the night in places which gila monsters and rattlers have long pre-empted. Just before the recent election he rounded himself up in Merced and began talking of his adventures. It takes two drinks to get Mogan's eloquence started. The number of drinks that will bring him to a full stop has never been ascertained, although the health and fortunes of ths entire San Joaquin valley would willingly be gambled away to find out. "'There is going to be a dry winter," he began. "There won't be enough rain this season to give the wheat any sort of a start; 'twill be worse nor it was last year, which was a proper corker. How do I knowt Why, 1 found that out by the rattlesnakes. They know, you bet When there is a dry winter coming the rattlers, leastwise in Oalifomy, cannot -bo coaxed to bite. I've w itched *em 25 years now, and I know what I am talking about. The snakes will not bite, and that means we will have a winter as dry as a bone." None of his circle of listeners betrayed any desire either to teat the accuracy of his observations in natural history or to question hia meteorological deductions from the facts observed. He occupied an impregnable position, and for a variety of reasons, for some time; and the matter was considered of sufficient interest to cause the publication in San ooaquin valley papers of the statement tbat snakes will not bite tuis year, and also the interpretation put upon the sign hy the snake hunters. Since then tbe barometer and the local weather forecasts have been watched with a degree of attention calculated to awaken tne approval of the United States weather bureau. No one has been bitten by a snake in thc valley since the prediction wns first made, and this has brought into contempt the doubters who have regularly been saturating their systems with alcohol in the fear that they might be bitten and be taken unawares. John Grady,- an employe of the Baldwin hotel afajlSan Francisco, has died from heart failure, the result of fright during the recent (Ire. A LIVING WITNESS.
