The Arlington mine, one of the shippers of Slocan City, is sgain raw- hiding ore to that point and will soon nuke another shipment. Frank Watson, one of the principal owners of this promising property, is daily expected in the Slocan, and hia arrival is looked forward to by those expecting the te-openiog of the Fisher Maiden. RRCO'S FIRST RBrORT. We are in receipt this week of a °°py of the firat report of the Rico Mining & Milling Oo, This report is fully illustrated, splendidly gotten up snd must be highly satisfactory to all stockholders in the company. The R-'co Milling <k Mining Oo. was incorporated in September 1896, and ■>nce then paid dividends amounting to 1280,000, besides having at the present time enough ore in sight to P»y dividends for several years. Tbe •verage value per ton of all ore shipped has been $187.20, and the average net value to the "impauy waa $141.99 Per ton. At the date of uritiug tho r»port (May 1, 1897) tbe value of ore in sight was estimated to be $2,650,- 000. The company intend erecting a concentrator %t ao estimated cost of $40,000 and an serial tramway to cost $35,000, The tramway will be 9,993 feet long, with a carrying capacity of 250 tons a day. This will reduce the transportation charges from the mine to the railroad from $6 per ton to ten cents, aud the charge of packing up supplies from $15 to ten cents. Fifty thousand shares of the Reco capital stock were reserved until suoh time as the tramway and concentrator became necessary, and these are now to be placed upon the market. TE8LIN LAKE RAILWAY. Canadian papers from Halifax to Vancouver are now busy praising or condemning the Government contract with Meurs. Mackenzie & Mann for the construction of the Teslin Lake Railroad. Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Wm. MacLean of the Toronto World, engaged in a windy combat on this question, in the Dominion House. The papers on tho Sound are ridiculing the attempt and the cities of Victoria aud Vancouver favor the construction. Looking at the question from the view of the Mining Critic, it seems that the gold- right over three and a half million acres of Yukon land together with an estimated subsidy of $250,000 from this Province is a big price to pay for 130 miles of narrow guage railroad, but from another view the contractors have not made so good a bargain. One million dollars is to be expended on the line before any grant of land is to b- made and the entire line is to be completed within six months or a cash deposit of $250,000 now in the Dominion Treasury will be forfeited. In an interview with the Manitoba Free Press, Mr. Mackenzie says: "I have read in the papers that som> opposition to the arrangement has developed in the west, but can you mention any other, firm or corporation in Canada that would take hold of this work on our terms! I feel certain that you cannot; and you may have observed that none of the criticisms have even suggested that others would have tenoVrod had tho work been put up for public competition Had tenders bt-en invited no Causdians would have bid, Our terms must have been the best, as a strong United States company was in the field with an offer, and if it had been more favorable than ours the government would certainly have accepted it Some people complain of the suddenness with which the arrangement was sprung on the public, but it is scarcely rational to suppose that business men should expose to the world their plans and projects before their negotiations have been consummated." Tbe scheme is a gigantic one and Canadians should feel proud that Mr. Msckentie is the man to undertake it. Mr. Mackenzie stsnds in public view aa a man who has never had a failure and whose business connections form a chain from England to the Klondyke. __ JAPS FOR THE KLONDYKE. It is rumored thst 5,000 Jsps are on their way to the Klcndyke to engage in mining in competition with hite labor. The sooner Mongolian emigration is prohibited into Osnada the better. Thank heaven wo, in the Slocan, don't like the color of the breed, and tht time has come for the people here to investigate the records of the politicians, who will shortly be asking for our support, on the Mongo- lisn question. In the last issue of the Revelstoke Herald, a correspondent informs us that the Chinese have located in the Slocan and Lardeau. To the best of our knowledge, this is a mistake. We are sure of it .regarding the Slocan and if numerous precedents count for anything it would not be advisable for John Chinaman to come here. ONTARIO KLF.OT10N. Nominations for the general Provincial election will take place February 22nd, elections March 1st. The February number of the Kootenay Guide is out with a change of time card and railway fares; also new information regarding the Calgary and Edmonton routes to the Klondyke. MINE INSPECTOR MaeDonald Impeding the Nines of West Kootenay. 4 BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR SLOCAN The Mines or llrltl.h Columbia Now the Center fur the Capital of the World. D. J. MacDonald, Provincial Mine Inspector, waa In Silverton, inspecting the mines this week. He was visited by a representative of the Siia'ebtohian at the Victoria hotel, aod talked at length on the resources of our Provinces. This is my first tour of inspection of the of the West Kootenay mines," said Mr, MacDonald, "and it is an interesting one." At the present time ol tbe year his trip is made very unpleasant by the numerous slides and accidents along the railroads. Mr. MacDonald left Silver- ton (or the Queen Bess mine on Wednesday. Ho is wellkaown in this bunt, as be was, a short time ago, superintendent ol the Galena Mines, which mine he visited in his official capacity while here. In regards to the business depression in the Slocan. Mr, MacDonald says that he regards it as merely transitory, and predicts a general revival in all lines, especially mining, In the early spring. "The present rush to tbe Klondyke," said he "although It is being felt as a disadvantage in the Kootenay at present, is bound to help you all. It has drawn tbe attention of the world to Canada, and capital will flow into British Columbia from now on, which, if it were not for tbe Klondyke excitement, would have found its way to South Africa. Our prosperity is only beginning." A Western railway; the Great Western and tbe Golden Chariot In the Northeast fart of the town; the Nickel Plate and the Ore-Or-No Go, just south of the Center Star; the Poorman, between the Le Boi and War Eagle *, tbe Josie, northwest ol the Le Boi; the Annie and the Bockingham, better known as the West Le Boi & Josie, which lie just west of the Le Boi and the Josie; tbe No. I, west of the War Eagle; tho Tekia, between the latter property and the Josie; the You Know, north of the No. 1; the Surprise, north of the You Know, and the Golden Queen, west ot the Surprise and bounded by the Coxey, tbe Mountain View and the St. Elmo." SUCCESSFUL BALL. If the K. P.'s of New D.n/er are prouder of one thing than another, it is the success *ableb always attends their very popular dances. Their masquerade ball held last Monday evening, was no exception to the "Yule, and was pronounced by those attending as being the best yet of the aeries. Nearly thirty couple, in gay costumes, tripped the light fantastic, aud maoy were present as interested onlookers. From Silver- ton the attend snee was not as large as usual, as there waa no sleighinx and no boats. Mrs. B, Watson represented a Gypsy Queen and W. W. Bouch attended attired as an Irish policeman. TWICE CAUGHT B. Pollard and Bob Anderson were caught in the tunnel of the New Brunswick, near Ymir, recently, by a slide, which took them two hours to tunnel through. They cached themselves in their cabin, together with John Header- son, their employer, to avoid further danger, when suddenly, with a crash, another slide tore their cabin to pieces and carried them a couple of hundred feet down tbe mountain. Henderson and Pollard came out on top, bnt Harrison was buried in the snow. He was, however, rescued and recued and received no serious damages. Tbey will discontinue work for the present on the New Brunswick. ENTEBPBISK-NEPAWA 8LIDES. The Enterprise slide, which csme down last Monday, tearing out in its course the bridge over the creek aud seveial of the out-bnildings ol the Enterprise. A slide at the Nepawa blocked the road for some time, but is now cleared for travel. THE ENTERPRISE BONDED. An option has been given on the well known Enterprise Mine of the Slocan, B C. The property is controlled by David Hyman of Denver OoL and John A. Finch of this city. The mine has been examined by Mr. Kendall, the engineer for the London <fe B. C Gold Fields Ltd. (who were reported to have purchased tbe Whitewater last month). The first paymmt on the option, if taken up, will bo made on the 15th. of the month, and the pric« is stated to be $450,000. If the deal goes through it will be ono of the largest on record for the Slocan district As the London & B. O. Gold Fields is one of the strongest English corporations operating in the Province, such a purchase of a silver-lead property - rich as this one is - cannot but aid greatly in inducing further capital to invest in similar properties and thus benefiting the district.—Spokane Miner. GONE TO ENGLAND. Hon. C. H. Markintosh,representative of the British American Corporation, has just le It for England. He will return abont the first ol May to commence work on a grand scale on his recent purchases for the company. The Rossland Miner prints the following: "Mr. Mackintosh was seen just before leaving by a Miner reporter, relative to the rumor that his company is after tbe tjlocan Htar, tbe famous silver-lead property ol the Slocan. "I have not approached the Slocan Star people regarding the matter, nor have they approached me, but I cannot aay what is being done st the London office," replied Mr. Mackintosh. "Mr. Mackintosh, while here, secured 20 claims, all in the north belt, at an expenditure of about $1,285,000. The claims for ii almost a continuous chain, from the Columbia-! Kootenay, on tbe east, to the Golden Queen, on the west. The holdings of the corporation include the Copper Jack, the Kootenay Fraction, the Tip Top, the Kootenay and tho Columbia, in the Columbia & Kootenay group on the mountain of the same name; the Golden Dawn, practically a full claim, lying almost due east on the original towns!to, and crossed by the Columbia WELL DEFINED. Says the B. O. Review, of London, Eng.: "A shrewd definition of the Klondyke situation was given to a Press representative by a peculiarly observant stockbroker. 'Ic comes just to this,' he said; 'all the transportation companies on the Pacific alope an engaged night and day in telling cheerful lies about Klondyke in order toseeure a rush of passengers—in the certain knowledge that they will have to take them all back again pretty quick.'" THE PEOPLE GULLED. The ^Toronto Globe of January 29th, in its account of the John Eaton At Co. investigation prints the following: CLOTHING OLD KXOCGHT TO VOTE. "The next witness, Mr. Charles Richardsou, said he had been in the clothing businessfor 35 years 'and knew it slightly.' He paid special attention to the quality of the Mammoth stock of clothing which was transferred over to the Eaton store. He said 'some of the lines were old enough to vote." "Was it moth-eatenl" "No, they had no time to get 'moth- eaten in the Eaton store; they were handled too much." Witness thought there was from 910,000 to $15,000 worth of this old stock. One of the methods of disposing of it was to class it as "spiff' goods for selling which a salesman got a premium of 25 or 50 cents. Tbe witness further described the stock as "ratty," and declared he would not have bought it at any price, as it would do a merchant more harm than good. Being pressed, he ssid he would not give more than 25 cents on the dollar cost price of it It was an irregular stock; a sise 40 coat would be put with a size of 36 trousers, and a good deal of it had beeu outside the Mammoth door from day to day for thro to four years and had be^omo discolored. Still they got rid of most of it by throwing it on the bargain tables." And yet every day sees orders sent to those Eastern sharks from those who save their money in the Slocan and spend it iu Toronto. If the wage-earners depended on the Easterner to help this country and thua help them he would be taken in worso than at present when he secures the muohly advertised "bargain." Possibly there is some jest in the suggestion that for it's propelling power the battleship Kentucky might be fitted out with corkscrews.—Fort 8tcele Prospector, MISS MoKIJ-CIVOJV* Fashionable * Dressmaker. • • Opposite Thortwini Hotels Silverton. •C«C«C»(»f»(«C»C»t«C«CeC«*(a(«C»(«KjiC»(«C«(* <Wef»^f«^<Ji<>»(«C«C«*C«*C«C«(»CeC«f«C«»(a(»» I FINE TAILORING Fall and Winter; 1897.

London Fel>. 9.—The Star yesterday under the heeding of "Raid of the Klondyke" quoted an anonymous American correspondent, who recently arrived in England, as saying with reference to the releif expedition to the Klondyke, that those who are familiar with the facts "know that this txcuseis as flimsy as Jameson's desire to releive the women and children of Johannesburg." Continuing the anonymous correspondent remarks "every American kno we this to be another Jameson's raid, and that the Americans intend to keep controll of the Klondyke. The Klondykers have already announced that tk-e stars and •tripes will be flying at Dawson City by July 4th. ltwonld please a large body of Americans if the Klondyke could be made a pretext for war between England aod th- United States, which would resolt in the annexstiou of Canada." WARSHIP MAINE DESTROYED. At,9*« r- m., last Tuesday, the second-class battleship Maine, the pride of the American navy, waa blown np and wrecked, in ihe Havana harbor. It is estimated that 100 of her crew was killed and wounded, and Captain Sigbee, ber commander, was seiiously injured. Tbe Maine was built in 1890 at a cost of 13,800,000, and was the swiftest battleship in the famous White fleet. Tbe cause ol the explosion is '.not known, but it ia supposed that, a small magazine in the bows first exploded The people ot Havana were gieatly excited over the affair, and the wharves were crowded with thousands of people. Gapl In Sigbee, in bis telegraphic reports, requests Americans not to form opinions ,abont the affair until further information can be furnished. General Blanco and his officers at Havana express their deep sympathy for the sufferers.

BRUTAL MURDER. Word has been received of a shooting affray at Kuskanook, resulting in tbe death of one of the participants. The (ju'arrel arose over thn payment of some money in a saloon. The murdered man did not realise the seriousness of the threats made against him and was shot down unprepared. The murderer was still at liberty when this newt was received, and Is probably heading lot the borlei* and safety. It is hoped that he has been arrested before row, and that British justice will be satisfied. "I don't mean to insinuate," said Mr. Meekton, "that you want any more than your 'share. But, supposing that women were admitted to suffrage; what would you do with your two votes?" "My two votes?" * •'Yes. Yours and mine—Washington Star. U. Ormsby of Rosebery was in! town today. Mr^ Ormsby gavs that Silverton is the best place on the lu.e for purchat-> ing siii piles. W. McMillan,one of the owners of the Frisco, visi ed that mine on Wednesday. He says good work Is being done In the lower tunnel, and the bonders expected soon to run Into the ore chute. R. H. H. Alexander, lafe superintendent of the Comstock mines, was a passenger on the Slocan en route to Nelson last Thursday. He Is on an Inspecting tour of the mines of West Kootenay, accompanied by several English experts. By all means Lake avenue should be graded before the Influx of spring visitors begins so that the town uiay present a more inviting appearance. We have one of the most pleasantly situated towns on the lake, and it will require but a small donation from each citizens to put the streets in good condition, W. 8. Clark is kept busy now with the ore shipments. . Eighty '.tons were shipped this week and the ore teams are kept .busy transporting it fn.m .the mines. The freight receipts Irom the Silverton office on exports is larger than any other station on the lake. May the good work go merrily on. A Kilvertoo man, anxious to secure work on tho proposed Teslin Lake railroad, went yesterday to New Denver to interview their ageqt regarding the work. Ho was informed that to secure work he would be required to deposit $20 with the company and sign an ironclad agreement to woik for them seven months. The wages to be paid were $60 a month, payable at the'eiid of the contract, anil according to Ihe agreement, If Im should leave tho employ ofjthe company before'hls tlme'jras up, he would not only forfeit his $20 deposit, hut also all wages due. Needless'to say the contract was not signed, and the searcher for work returned to Silverton. The grievances on the Crow's Nest Pass were bad enough, bul what will 'be the'eondi- 'ticeoff the workmen jn'lhVfrojjen north? W. II. Brandon passsed through Silverton today on the Slocan. Jack York, aged about 10 years, met with a painful ■ ccident in Slocan City las Sunday. While he and Hoy Barber weie riding Mr ,\ Barber's boiaes to to water, the one the latter', was ndiig caught Jack viciously in his teeth by the leg and shook him with all the bru'e force at his command.
