A properly, Ilie richness ol which Is going to surptiso not only tlie natives but also the ounide mining men and capitalists, in the Smuggler mine at the hoad of Ten Milo creek. This proporty, which belongs to the Warner Miller Syndieate, has (or some lime been under development and has now reached a stage v here its succeBB aa a mino is iiHHiiri.d, It lias been systematically and success- fnlly opened up under the management o( Dickenson k Felt, and under the foremaiiship ol Patrick McGuire, formerly of the Noble Five mine. Over 1200 feet of underground development work has Oeen done upon the Smuggler vein, cosisling of tunnels, winzes and upraises. The properly is a tunnel proposition und in all three tunnels have beeu driven upon it. No 1, ihe upper tunnel, is now in a distance of ovei 400 feet and the face is nearly under a big ore shute exposed on the surface. This tuunel lias been driven directly upgn the vein which varies in width from nine to twelve (eet and carries, as (ar as explored, a continuous paystreak of ore «alely running 800 ounces in silver to (he ton and varying in width Irom two to (our iuches. Tuunel No 2. ia also in over 400 feet and is in ore ita entire length as is also an upraise put up from this tuunel over 100 (eet. The lower tunnel, No A, is iu 1'20 feet, the first part of which being a cross-cut, but aa soon as the vein wus struck ore was encountered and the bulance of the tunnel is in ore aa is also a 30 foot winzu sunk fronr. it. The strike of the vein is northerly nnd southerly, the character of the ore taken from Ihe paystreak being a black iron and ainc mixed with galena that wil) run from 800 to 1000 ounces in silver to the ton. Good quartera have been erecto ! at the properly aud a force of about 20 miners are ttradily employed. A contract for the packing of this ore to Enterprise Landing on Slocan lake has lately been let and it will now take its place as a shipper of rich ore. AimtIn i properly owned by the same company, aujoiuing the Smuggler is the Slocan Chief. The ore from this property, which oooajetl of galena currying large quantities of urey copper, is so rich that the muck taken out is washed aud any oro that it might contain raved iu that way.

The cross-cut is now iu 35 leet and is io ore the entire distance. Some rich ore is now beinu packed down for shipment to the smelter (rom the Ethel Fraction in the Silver Bund Basin. This property bids (air lo become a steady shipper. THE HIGHLAND BOY MILL. The Silverton district is the looser of a first-class mill man when Mr. J A Kelly, lately in charge of tha Wakefield concentrator, left for the Ainsworth camp last week- Mr. Kelly haa entered the employ of the Highland Boy Minim: Co. who are heavy operators in the Ainsworth district and who are to be congratulated upon the addition of such an efficient mill man to their present staff of officer. The Highland Boy Co, are erecting a concentrator, of 150 tons daily capacity, about one mile from Ainsworth for the reduction of the oreB Irom their Group o.r mines. The mill will be eijuipt with the best and most modern inrchinery, most of whijli is being furnished by the Gates Iron Works whose engineer G O Brady, assisted by Mr. Kelly, will have charge of tl.e construction. The Highland Boy Co, is nnder tne supervision of E. S. Woods of Nelson who has so far been very successful with this property. The new mill will be driven by water power of which the company have ample, be. ing able to get 480 feet of a direct preseure. A BUSY CAMP. The Slocan Drill is kept busy at the present time recording the various deals being made iu the noiv flourishing Slocan City dist'ict.

Dickenson, of Dickenson k Felt, dnd Mr. Kingsbury, engineer for the SIocan-Kiln Co. Mr. Dickenson's company already represent a three forths interest, in that property and arc about to acquire the remainder, when the property will be at once started up. Should this deal go through, which it is almost certain to do, lhe Noonday may be again a shipping proposition before the snow flies this winter. MATTERS POLITICAL. Conservative Convention To-night. A meeting of the local Conservatives was held hereon Thursday evening for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend lhe party Convention to-night in Revelstoke. It was decided however not to send delegates, and Silverton wiH be represented only by proxy. . Information is supplied The Sii.vek- tonian to the effect that either Goodeve or Mcintosh will receive the Conserve' live nomination to-night. If this provee to be so it will be in spite of a large number of the delegates. It is quite possible Ihat a Slocan man will receive the nomination. Want* A Labor Candidate. The Industrial World, the official organ of the allied labor unions of Kootenay, comes out as a strong advocate oi the idea of nominating a labor candidate to contest this Riding, and speaks .ot Jus Wilka as a likely man. Shouli Mr Wilks, or any other conservative labor leader, be nominated he would make it interesting for both tbe old party candidates. A GOOD ROADS CONVENTION, The Kamloops Board of Trade will hold a Good Roads' Convention on tiie 27th inst, and has invited the editor. At the present time in thi< district it is not so much a question of having good roads as it is of getting any old kind of a roud. When we can't get a road at all we're awfully thankful to get a pack-trail. When a ro.nl goes five miles out of tha way for a place to blast switch-backs out of, lite slope of the rdadbed is not tha matter of supreme importance that it ia around the Inland City. However, tha question of good roads is an important one and we hope the Kamloops B. o/T's. initiative in calling the convention will be productive of much good. STRUCK THE ORE BELOW. At the Hewett mine Ihe ore shute cut by the upper tunnels has at lust been struck by the lower tunnel at a distance in of 520 feet. This gives a depth on this oro sbuto of nearly 400 feet nnd assures the permanency of that mine for somo lime to come. The oro taken out is sorted nnd the best sacked ready for shipment to the smelter. This mine hue shipped so far this season 70 tons and a packtrsiu is now engaged in bringing down another 20 ton shipment. Wanted—a rink. Within the last few day the idea of building a rink has been revived among the Silverton sports, but beyond talking nothing has been doue. If anything is to be done it is now none too early to begin. It haa been suggested that a hockey clnb bu organized to take the matter np and if possible build the rink. We sugtrest that a meeting of those interested be called in the near luturo and a committee appointed to see what can bo done. Unless nil our weather-prophets are very much at fault tbere will be severe weather this winter, and what is to be done when the baseball is put on the shelf and the wind has leaked from tha football'! A SURE SIGN OK PROSPERITY. "Bobby" an old timer and a loader in Silverton's canine society is again with ns having returned during the week. This of itself is a sure sigh of returning prosperity to our camp, for Bobby loves excitement and will not live in a dead camp. Some six months ago Bobby made a tour of the mines around here and held an interview with the chief mine-owner doirs of the cnmp. He then, without saying a word, left the camp, whicli h.'H been dead ever since, only returning this week. This is looked upon as a good omen by our old timers as Ihey feel sure that Bobby has inside information of a boom or he would never have returned to Silverton. ORE EXHIBIT. THE METAL MARKET.

A, Coplen, Commissioner (or the Slocan for the ore exhibit at the Spokane Exposition, is now in the Slocan arranging for a proper display of ores from this district. He has arranged for a splendid cabinet in which to show off the ores and has been promised the rupport of nearly all the mine owners and prospectors in tbe district in his work of advertising the Slocan. There is no reason why there should not be a big exhibit from Silver- ton, us the cost will be trifling—at the outside $50.—and the benefits large. All ore sent to Spokane will lie carried free by the railroads. NIGHT ON A CATTLE RANGE- There's a weird-like charm In the starlit night on the breast ol the Western plains, Where a stillness fulls like a veil of pence as the day in its ulory wanes. Where the night breeze kisses the fevered earth and (begems of the star world gleam With tbei.- twinkling sparkleH of ail very light lill the heavens with beauty leein. The heart beats soft with a soothing sense of freedom and calm delight As we lie and gaze ut the whin poor-will o'erhead in their playful flight, Wbere the irrasses rustle a lullaby by the breath of the night windstirred, And the dog-woll howls in lim Bandy rills und the cowboy sings to the herd Oirthere on (he breast ofthe rising slope the cattle in quiet lie. Nor raise tbeir heads when the shadowy form of the rider passes them by. But close their eyes when the soolliing song of the tireless watcher they hear— The aong that tells them to lie in peace; no danger is lurking near. The wearv man (rom the city's noise on the grass in his blankets lies Aud reads a story of peaceful rest on Ihe scroll of tlio starlit skies, And dreamily watches thn fitful flight o( the restless nocturnal bird, Where Ihe dog-wolf howls in the sandy lulls and Hie e.iwb iv sinus to bjj, ),,.,,( How nesr to the presence of God we feel! How sacred the stillness seems, How tbe wearied soul in its new-found rest with the joy of existence teems! How we almost think we can see the face of the Father of all up there In n twlnklina frame ol the silent stars That jewel the midnight air! What fancies fill the delighted brain as we float on a dronmy sea To the mystic shadows of Slumberland from ihe cares of the earth set free- Float on till the last dim vision of earth tiy tbe finger of sleep is blurred, Where the dog-wolf howia in the sandy hills and the cowboy sings to hia herd. —From The Denver Evening Post. m _______ IH I ■ WM H A LONDON LETTER Politics and War Are of Absorbing Interest Special Cable Letter. London, Sep. 8.—Among the questions which have stood out most prominently the past week are the South African question and the general election. By help of the desire for peace dominating all nations, Great Britain has been enabled to achieve, without hinder- ance, the formal annexation of thc South African Republics. Lord Ro. ..li' "proclamation," however, has not advanced matters much. In spite of the disconcerting persistence of the burghers, the British government appareutly has determined to carry out its scheme for an early appeal to the country. Everything seems to be shaping for an October election and ths return to England ot Salisbury during the coming week will probably be speedily followed by a definite pronouncement of the date ot the dissolution as well as British views of far eastern matters. Among the interesting features of the election news is tne movement on the part of the Liberal Unionists to return to the Liberal fold and to be again what Sir Vernon Harcourt described himself to be in his case re September 4, "a Liberal without any adjectives." Mr. Anthony Hope. (Hawkins) the novelist, is again a candidate for a seat in parliament. He has been adopted as the Liberal champion for Folkirk. '•I never knew so many improvident Americans in London" said United States vice consul Westa- cote to a representative of the Associated Press. "Of course there are no means of our hands to finance stranded travellers, and if there were, they would long since have been expended. HOSTOIKVS t**H.V?ll_M Tbe Asaela will Pay 100 Cento ou Ihe ttollar. Concerning Mr. Bostock's assignment, a coast paper says the Province Publishing company is net included in the Bostock estate, but the B. C. Printing & Lithographing Co. is included in the assets. The assignment caused much surprise among those who heard thc news. It was due to numerous large unprofitable investments in the province, although the estate comprises among its assets many valuable investments and would pay over 100 cents on the dollar. Mr. Bostock, however, realizing that necessary large sums were not available readily to satisfy immediate demands, thought the safest and best way to satisfy creditors was to assign and thus insure full returns for those who had claims against him. county yesterday. Among the speakers were Hons. Messrs. Fielding, Patterson, Blair and s). C. Fraser. Fielding told a story of the surpluses; Patterson defended the government's tariff policy, claiming that it was tariff for revenue only; Blair defended his manage- of Intercolonial railway.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 8.-—All the southern coast of Louisana has been storm swept. The sea water has been backed up to the Mississippi river levees on the east bank. Dr. C. H. Buford and Superintendent Richard Quinn, the government otlicers at Fort St. Phillip, went down the river in a canoe on Thursday evening and last night the boat was found bottom up. USEFUL VS. BEAUTIFUL. There i.s a quarrel of long standing among philosophers as to the relative value of the useful and the beautiful, or, as the phrase of the schoolmen goes, the aesthetic and the utilitarian. Philosophers, however, frequently quarrel above the clouds, and their scholastic debates have little interest for men on the ordinary level of human life—life with its dinner, breakfast and supper, its pay roll and poll tax, its rent day and board bill, its wash tub and cook stove. In this debate, however, they are not so far away from the sea-level of humauity with its complex and throbbing thought. In the inmost heart of every housewife as she sweeps and dusts her little hallway, of every home-builder as he plans his lawn and basement, of every growing lad as he brushes his shoes or ties his cravat, there is the conflict between the useful and the beautiful. No one denies that the beautiful is to be desired; but there are those who contend tnat it must be sacrificed for more practical ends. This is frequently a mistaken idea, and now that many of the buildings and grounds in this city are in their for. mative state, it may be well for owners to consider the matter of beauty. A kitchen need not be hideous and untidy simply because it contains a cook-stove or a range. A sink need not be unsightly simply because foul matter is deposited through it. A woman need not be a slattern because her income is meagre. A man need not be a sloven merely because he cannot wear diamonds. The fact is that the beautifying of a city, besides contributing to the artistic pleasure of life, adds to it from a practical standpoint. Of what use are pictures in a room, asks the cynic. The best answer is to take them away and let him realize the nakedness and bareness ot the walls. A decent lawn? A vine- clad porch? A well-kept show window? Try the value ot these on husband, guest or purchaser and be convinced. Hamilton, Ont. Sept. 7.—Ex-AI- derman McLagan, one of Hamiton's respected citizens, is dead, aged 77 years. (By Associated Press.) .* Rochester, N. V., Sept. 8.— When the sunrise gun was fired this morning from the dock of the Rochester Vacht club, many of the members were astir preparing for the race tor the international cup. The morning mist disappeared at 8 o'clock and the lively scene was flooded with sunshine. At 8 o'clock the work of unfurling sails and pre- p.iring finally for the races was begun. At 8:30 a. m. Skippers Davis and Jarvis appeared on their respective boats, and at 9:15 the Mi- nota swung into the centre of the river. The race today was the first of a series between the Minota of Toronto and the Genesee of Rochester for the Fisher cup. The course was triangular, three and one-third miles to a leg, a total of 10 miles! The yachts went over the course twice, making 20 miles. The judges were Thos. B. Pritchard, Rochester, Frank M. Gray, Toronto, and J. F. Monck, Ha ilton. Wilson H. Cross was semti teet for the R. V. C. on board the Minota, and Ernest MacRae was scrutineer for the R. C. Y. C. on the Genesee. The start was made as follows: Genesee 11:03:30, Minota 11:04. The Canadian yacht was to windward on the start, and Jarvis sailed closer to the course than Davis. On the second leg of the first tack the Minota was well in the lead,but the Genesee, being to windward, picked up. An hour later the Genesee was leading. Geneace Wine, Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 8.-2:53 p. m.—The Genesee wins, crossing the finish line at 2:52, the Minota being fully a mile and a half from the finish line. Par for Loat Time. Wininpeg, Man., Sept. 8.—A strike on the Canadian Pacific is almost certain. The company offers to reinstate the four men removed, but they refuse to work unless given pay for the time suspended. WORLD'S COAL SUPPLY. The first lord of the treasury in a recent article sounds a note of alarm to the effect that the world's supply of fuel is rapidly becoming exhausted, and that the only remedy lies in some new discovery or invention which will effect a saving in the consumption of coal or increase the power produced by its combustion. J. A. Longden, formerly president of the Institute of Mining Engineers, has lately spoken in the name line, insisting that more attention must be devoted to economy in the use of fuel. As possible remedies he indicates the adaptation of furnaces to the class of coal burned, and the super-heating of steam. It is believed that the same conditions which have called forth these suggestions will result in calling renewed attention to the coal fields of Canada as an available source of supply. The Cardiff chamber of commerce recently|had under discussion the placing of a large contract for steam coal to be shipped to Naples. They had to compete with an American offer as follows: coal I. o. b. Cardiff, $5, freight to Naples $2; a total of 50 cents more per ton than the American coal. The Canadian Mining review says that if this ctn be done from the United Stutes it can be more easily done from Canada, and predicts for this country a growing share in the foreign markets. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. Alan Walters, writing in Temple Bar, says that England had no real national song of the sea until James Thompson received a commission to write words for a musical medley at the Prince of Wales' private theatre on August 1, 174c,. The result was "Rule Britannia," set to music by Arne and afterwards touched up by Lord Bolingbroke. Today England is richer in sea songs than any other country. German, Dutch and even Scandinavians with their love ofthe sea, have very lew such songs, and France has none. The sudden death of Steinitz, the veteran chess player, who for more than a quarter of a century maintained his position as the leading player of the world, will be noted with sadness by every lover of the game. The cloud under which he rested on account of his impaired intellect is too well known by chess devotees to need adverting to. All in all he was probably the most brilliant player since Paul Morphy. Commenting on the odd name, Dragitu, of the new queen of Servia, it is interesting to note that when the bany daughter of the duke of Kent was given her first name, Victoria, it was confidently expected that she would be called Alexandria. Had it not been for her devotion to her mother she would have reigned under that name. The Record again takes pleasure in urging the citizens of Rossland, irrespective of party or creed, to attend the ppbi ' reception to be tendered Lord -vlinto at.Miners' Union hai! next Monday evening. His excellency has personally signified that the arram.winent to have the affair an infoi iul one meets his hearty approval, and thc public at large should avail themselves of the opportunity to be presented to him. The second Thursday in October is the date fixed for the holding of the next Conservative convention, and Revelstoke is the place chosen. A. G. Berry, late secretary to the Australian delegates, boasts that under the new law Australia will have a wider suffrage than the United States or Canada. It is known that a number of American soldiers contemplate settling permanently in the Philippines. Now it is officially announced that probably 15,000 British 'roops will settle on So- h African soil. In commenting ii tHs fact, H. A, Bryden, a w il u-wn writer, suggests that hai nillion pounds sterling would not _,'.• too 'much to spend in'state-aided immigration. He thinks some such measure the key to the problem In South Africa. PUSH IT A^ONG. MORE OUTRAGES The Long Roll of Missionariss Killed Has Been Recived. (lXy Associated Press.) I f Washington, Sept, 8—There is reason to believe that the Chinese negotiations have now reached another crisis. Developments are expected, the nature of which it is not possible at present to even outline. Li Hung Chang is still at Shanghai and unofficial advices that reach here indicate that he is in no hurry to leave for Pekin. Beatli of missionaries, Washington, Sept. 8.—The state department is in receipt of a cable from,UnitsdStates Consul Goodnow at Shanghai, dated September 7, reporting the deaths, about July 31, at Funcu and Tai Ku, of the following missionaries: Rev. and Mrs, C. VV. Pierce and daughter Florence. Rev. nnd Mrs. E. B. Atwater and two children. Rev. and Mrs. D. H. Clapp. Rev. Geo. L. Williams. Rev. T. VV. Davies. Miss Bowen Bird and Miss Mary L. Partridge, The department has notified the respective missionary boards of which the victims were members. Great Britain's Preferenre. New York, Sept. 8.—A solution of the Chinese question which would have been popular in England would have been the adoption by the American government of a distinctly punitive policy, enforced by the employment of an army of 25,000 or 30,000 troops, says the London correspondent of the Tribune. The British government would have followed the lead of the American state department and would have largely increased its own military forces in China for the purpose of securing the punishment o( the guilty mandarins, the dethronement ol the dowager empress and the reorganization ol the imperial government, It may be safely assumed that the British foreign office will assent to any policy which secures a general agreement of the powers and obviates the necessity for a partition of China. Both political parties in British Columbia will unite in securing from their representatives a pledge that the. will favor a revisiofc of the tari'r in so far as it affects our lead I rests. Now the eastern papei., nre taking the matter in hand and the Toronto World presents the matter in this very concise parag:aph: "cannd'. produce., iiuch more pii? '..id than she requires for her own uses, /md yet we are importing 7000 tons of white lead annually from Germany! The statement would hardly be credited if the blue books did not corroborate the fact. We might as well import wheat and butter from Great Britain as white lead from Germany. We are an expoiting country of both products, and the idea ot importing the one is as ridiculous as our importing the other. What is required to break up the grip Germany has on the Canadian market is the imposition of a protective duty on white lead, litharge and other articles of which lead is the base. We have a duty of 35 per cent, on lead pipe, with the result that we Tianufacture that article ourselves. On white lead, litharge, etc., the du..y ranges *Yom nothing to fiv^ per cent., which, of course, affords no protection whatever. The white lead industry has reached large pioportions 1 tht United States, and there ■■ no reason why it should not beci.r.t a proportionately important industry in Canida. The miners of British Columbia are taking a firm stand on this question." j abroad, and in view of th production of lead bullion '.

A CHANGE NEEDED. It is gratifying to notice that Ihe recent suggestions in the Record on the necessity of advancing the duty on manufactured lead are meeting the hearty commendation of practical, thoughtful and public spirited men, and that other newspapers are advocating the same measure. Attention is being called to the fact that at the time of the adjustment of the tariffs now in force, the mining of lead ores in Canada was in its incipiency, and the growth to which the industry was destined was not taken into consideration. But wise legislation adapts itself to actual conditions; and however advantageous the present laws may have been designed to operate toward the manufacturers of paints and other lead products, it does not apply to conditions now in effect. With the general progress of the country lead mines have been opened up, and the field of their operation, providod a home market can be se- cured for their output, promises to be a vast and remunerative one. The Liberals of this district in the convention held at Revelstoke yes- terday adopted several resolutions, one of which, bearing on this subject, follows: "We recognize with approval the action of the governmeut in the provision made for the free return into Canada of lead of Canadian •ngm smelted in Canada bul refined PROSPERITY AND GROW Few things about Rossland 1 tract the attention of visitors 1 thnn the number of buildings 1 cently erected or now in the c<st| of construction.

Sept. 10.—In the race between the Genesee and the Minota today, the Minota was disabled and had to come off the course. The start was made at 11 o'ciock, Genesee was in"the lead by 12 seconds with the Minota in the windward position. It was a fine start. 11:15 a, m. Both yachts are still on the ilarboard side with the Minota pointing high, and both apparently on even terms. The distance of perhaps four hundred yards separates the two boats. 11:20.—The Minota has come in disabled. Her spreader has been carried away. She has just passed the pier on the way to the dock. The Minota was leading when the the accident occurred. 1:35 p. m.—The Minota was seriously disabled by the accident. The carrying away of her spreader made her rigging useless.

Lucas Meyer has been deposed from his command, but remains Mr. Kruger's military adviser. President Kruger is said to be feeble and apparently takes little interest in the military movements. He remains in his railway carriage constantly reading psalms. It i.s believed thai his ultimate intention is to lake flight towards Koomatipot."

Washington, Sept. to,—The Chinese minister has received an imperial edict conferring on Li Hung Chang extraordinary power for the complete settlement of Chinese trouble. It gives him authority to make any terms according to his own discretion without referring them to the emperor.

Captain Reichman has been cabled permission to start at once for the United States. Thomaa Flint Nominated. Halifax, N. S., Sept. 12—Yarmouth Liberals have nominated Thomas F. Flint, sitting member, as candidate at the general elections. Those were wise and weighty words of Lord Minto's yesterday, when in addressing the school children he referred to them as the future citizens of the country, into whose hands its interests and destinies were soon to be committed. It is with this idea and from this standpoint that our educational system becomes fraught with tremendous importance and far reaching consequences. On the shoulders of these boys and girls now growing up about us will soon rest the weight and burden of responsibility'in providing laws and in carrying out the active duties of government. It is doubly important that they be trained and fitted not only for the duties of professional or industrial life, or lhe cares of the home circle, but that they be taught the practical side of civics, the true idea ol the voter, the dignity of the franchise and the wide horizon of the man who mounts to official position in this vast and rapidly developing country. Perhaps it may not be unwise to suggest in this same connection that too little attention is paid by our educators to this phase of education. It is well enough to have the ground work of classical instruction and the various arts and sciences come well into play in rounding out a curriculum; but no well ordered scheme of study today can afford to omit ^ or ignore the practical duties of life and citizenship. Indeed we are inclined to believe that in the advance of the future, pedagogy will place larger and larger emphasis upon this line of study and then the true comprehension of how to vote and how to govern will be considered of greater and more vital importance than the correct solution of a problem in algebra or an accurate classification of a fossil. With all the necessity lor classical culture, there is much dead work In scholastic circles. In course ol time it will be cleared away or regelated to the museum, and its place taken by the live and practical issues of the day. THEIR VISIT ENDS Lord and Lady Minto Take Their Departure. Rossland, B. C, September 12— The special vice-regal train conveying Lord and Lady Minto and the members of their party left about 11 o'clock this morning, the journey eastward being by way of Nelson, The party was accompanied to the station by a number of prominent ladies and gentlemen. Expressions ot regret were heard alike from hosts and guests as the hour of parting approached. There is every reason to believe that Lord and Lady Minto thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Rossland. That the community has enjoyed it goes without saying. The result cannot fail to be beneficial in the closer acquaintance brought about with the head of government in the Dominion and in this personal knowledge he has gained of the mining, industrial and other local interests of Rossland and of British Columbia in general. The community is under obligations to the ladies and gentlemen serving on the various committees, and to W. Wyllie Johnston, the honorary secretary, to whom the success of the program is largely due. The remainder of yesterday's program was carried out well, affording enough diversity to keep the visitors pleasantly busy without fatiguing them. The visit to the mines seemed to he thoroughly enjoyed by every member ofthe party. At the Centre Star the party, clad in regulation mining costume, descended to the 400-foot level, were shown the stope between the 300 and 200-foot levels, the method of timbering and of extracting the ore. They also examined the compressor, in which they seemed much interested, Several photographs of the party were taken. Lady Minto was presented with the costume provided for her as a souvenir of her visit. The party was then driven up the hill past the War Eagle boarding house and to the head works. After the luncheon provided by Edwin Durant on behalf of the B A, C. directors, the party visited the mines of that company under the escort of J. M. Long, superintendent of the Le Roi. The banquet arranged at the Hotel Kootenay last evening was a thoroughly enjoyable affair. The room and table were artistically decorated with flowers and bunting, while from the ceiling long streamers of ribbons in the national eolers were gracefully drooped. In the ante-room was hung a splendid Scottish standard, loaned for the occasion by T. S. Gilmour. The menu was an elaborate and elegant one, comprising eight full courses set off by the best ol wines and liquors and finished by the fragrance of choice cigars. At the close of the banquet Mayor Goodeve proposed the health of Her Majesty the Queen and the national anthem was sung. The mayor also proposed a toast to the guest of honor, paying him a high tribute and reviewing briefly the resources of Rossland. Three ringing cheers greeted the toast. Lord Minto made an appropriate reply, adverting pleasantly to the time when he had marched through the Selkirks before Rossland existed and when the city of Vancouver was just begun. He spoke glowingly of Rossland, dwelling- especially on its mining interests, and expressing the hope of seeing these entirely in Canadian hands. His entire speech was in excellent taste and was received with marked enthusiasm. In accordance with the announce- mei t in the Record Lord Minto presented the Humane Society mei'- al to Dr. Hoyes of Trail. Col. Topping pronounced a eulogy on Mr. Johnson, who was associated with Dr. Hoyes in his life-saving service, but was unable to attend the banquet. The banqueters sang "For He's a Jolly GocJ Fellow," and three cheers were given for Dr. Hoyes. Frank Oliver then sang "First in the Field," and as an encore "Long Ago." W. T. Oliver and W. J. Nels, n responded to toasts on "Canada;" Gov. Mackintosh and Dr. Bowes, "The Army, Navy and Volunteers;" Alexander Dick, "Mining and Smelting;" E. Kirby, "A Prophecy," ]. B. Hastings, "Equipment of the Mines;" C. O. Lalonde, J, S. Clute and Hector McRae, "Our City;" A. J, McMillan and J. B, Kerr, "The Press;" Edwin Duiant, "The B. A. C." The health of 'he Countess of Minto was proposed and, with the singing ot "Auld Lang Syne" and three cheers for the Earl of Minto and the national anthem, the banquet ended, LOOTING THE DEAD Fearful Mutilation of Bodies at Gal- Houston, Texas Sept. 12—The ghouls have been holding an orgie over the dead at Galveston. The majority of these men were negroes, but whites took part in the desecration of dead. Not only did they rob the dead, but mutilated bodies in order to secure ghouls, booty. A party of ten negroes returning from a looting expedition, had stripped the corpses of all their valuables and their pockets were fairly bulging out with fingers of the dead, which had been cut off because they were • o swollen the rings could not hi removed. t'oiiflaealed Fund Pekin, Sept. 5.—The Rosso-Chinese bank,which removes tc Shanghai, will confiscate, as part of the indemnity to be paid to Russia, the Imperial University fund of five million taels deposited with it. As an additional reason why Germany cannot withdraw from Pekin, it is pointed out that 3000 native Christians have heen rescued from the Pei Tang cathedral and if now abandoned they would inevitably be massacred. Dispatches received here say that the international forces attacked the Chinese fortifications it Pei Tang, north of Taku, and that the losses were considerable. 3000 LIVES LOST Conservative Estimate of Death by the Texas Storm. Houston, Texas, Sept. ia.—Conservative estimates of deaths have been shattered bv the estimates of Mayor Jones of Galveston, who declares that 3000 deaths will result from thc storm. Over one hundred lives were lost at other points in Texas. Ten millions of dollars will cover Galveston's property loss, while half as much tiiore is an estimate of that of the rest of the slate. Seve.i hundred human bodies have heen weighted and sunk at sea, the majority going to their graves unknown. The situation grows worse every minute. Water and ice is needed. Scores have died since las' night, and a number of sufferers have gone insane.) Flit) Rou la l.iiat. Detroit, Mich, Sept. ij.—-The steamer Lawrence of the People's Transit Co., is given up tor lost.

R. house boat whicb Is now completed snd ready for occupation lias been visited l.y a large number ol Nelson people, all of whom declare it to be an ideal outing home. The boat is completely furnished in every respect. The four state rooms with their four double snd four single berths are equipped with everything one would desire in a bed room at home. In tbe dining room is al) that a dining room requires, silverware, glassware, etc., and tbe room itself |s suflii.ently large to accommodate any party who could travel on the boat. The kitchen is complete, too, and in fsct, there is nothing lacking anywhere. All of the rooms are carpeted and the hallway is laid with oilcloth. Upstairs you are in the open air, with an awing to shield you from the spn and a hammock if you would lay down and read and rest. No more delightful place, to spend a week or two could be imagined, provided, of course, the boat is anchored in some one of the thousand beauty spots of Kootenay Lake. Nowhere, perhaps, In ail the Dominion of Canada is there a body ol water offering to the man of the reel and fly or he of the gun such inducements as are offered anywhere on Kootenay Lake and nowhere are there more delightful secluded places than can ., , . ..
