Tho trail has been built on aa good a grade as possible and is now open for both horsemen and pack trains. That the trail was built under tho supervision of Cliar.es McMllhin, is sudicent guarantee that tho work was done in good shape.

Havana, Aug. 21.-It is asserted that the arrest of General Juan Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the presidency of Santo Domingo, who was captured aboard a steamer at Cienfuegos just as the steamer was aliout leaving that *>oit, was not caused by orders from Havana, but was effected through the orders of General James 11. Wilson, governor of the department of -tetanias and Batata Clara, immediately upon learning of the arrest, Major General Brooke gave orders for the release of the prisoner. The action of (Ieneral Wilson in ordering the arrest of Jiniine7. causes much comment. The present plans of Jlmim*- me unknown.

The Diario expresses the opinion that the detention of Jiminez was the result of a request made to the government at Washington by President Rigucro of S.into Domingo that the suspected filibusters be prevented from leaving Cuba for Santo Domingo until ufter the elections in the republic had heen held.

The secretary if war made public the following telegram from Governor General Davis: "At least 10,500 tons of food should be shipped weekly until further notice. Have now fairly full reports from whale island. Can not reduce lirst estimate of 100,0(10 to be fed or assisted. Am starting public works as rapidly us possible, and h pe soon to get large numbers on a self sustaining basis. If local committees act without concert duplication and waste would be sure to result. Therefore I suggest a central committee to regulate this and would give assurance to contiihutora tliat donations will be wisely handled. ■'.Send all clothing and medicines offered. Fully one-half beans and rice should he shipped in sacks weighing 100 pounds per sack, for it must get to the interior on pack animals. The sacking material will be useful for clothing.

New York, Aug. 21.—Tlio Financier bank says: The feature of the New York statement for last week was an expansion of $1,048,000 in loans, the first that na» been recorded since July 8, last. Thc liquidation in this item in the intervening period has been not le-.-, than $47,000,0011. The loss in deposits in the same time lias In en about $.0,000,000 but the b inks have $10,000,000 more surplus reserve than reported in July. Their position is correspondingly stronger, but the fact that loans are rising indicates that this steady liquidation is at au end. The loan expansion, in view of the activity is mod- crate to my the least. The hanks gained a million dollars as a result of the week's operations and us the increase of $1,28..- 500 in deposits called lor an increase less than a third of a million, in additional requirements, there was an addilian ot $iisii,','7f> to surplus, making the excess ut the close of the week, $15,08*2,'li50. The scene of the greatest activity la on Red mountain and along Slllcia creek, Mt. Baker district, Washington, the vicinity of the Post-Lambert ledge. In these places work ls In progress on half a hundred claims. Republic Notea. At the Vulcan No. 2 the shaft ls down 12 feet. Development continues at the Mountain Lion. The Ben Hur shaft is down 145 feet ln very hard ground. The Gopher shaft is a little more than 100 feet In depth. Work has been begun on tho Minnesota claim In Sheridan camp. The Stray Horse tunnel is ln 200 feet, but no change ts reported. A contract to sink a GO-foot shaft on the Vulcan No. 1 ls now down 25 feet. It Is understood that the Monarch company will shortly resume operations. The Golden Lion tunnel Is In 465 feet and work suspended at the face for the present. Among the promising properties In the camp is a group lying half a mile west of Park City. The drifts on the 150-foot level of the Tom Thumb are showing up a fine body of high grade ore. The shaft on the Agnes claim is down 75 feet and a drift has been sailed to prospect for the ledge. A tunnel has been started 200 feet south of the north end line of the Republic mine and is running southward on the vein. Good progress is being made with the long No. 4 tunnel, which is being driven to cut the Republic ledge at a depth of 600 feet The drift from the main tunnel of the Black Tall has passed the point where lt was anticipated the big cross vein would have been struck.

PROPS The Nelson Miner of the 25th., inst. prints .i half coluuin article on the Noonday mine 'of Silverton. The whole article is an endeavor, by direct lies and dirty underhand insinuations, such as only a scab paper run by hayseeds would resort to. to hurt the value of the mine, and besmirch the character an. business ability of the management and also incidently discredit the Miners' Union of tlio Slocan. The article, appearing as it does m a paper that has earned the unenviable reputation of being the most unreliable aiining paper in the Kootenays, is hardly worth contradiction. Why the Miner shpulc} go out o{ inroad to throw mud at its sister towns and try and besmirch the character of men whose intregrity can be vouched for by all our citizens who are favored by their acquaintance, can only be because it is the tonl of :i lot ot carpet - bagging aliens who are trying to reduce | the standard of Canadian manhood to I the level of that of their own. But | Canadians miners are not to be influenced by such rot as (Iip Miner dishes up to its unfortunate subscribers. What one of our poets soys of Canadian lulior to-day, will still bo true long after our would-be aristocracy has left the country ami the Miner is forgotten. "Where none nre slaves, that lordly knaves May idle all Uie year; For rank and cast am of the past— They'll never flourish here! Aud Jew or Turk if he'll out work, Need never fear disaster; He reaps the eiop he sowed in hope, Fir Jack's as good's his master Onr aristocracy ol toil Have made us whnt yon sec— The noliles of (lie forge and soil, Willi ne'er a peiHsjiee! It makes one feel himself a man, His very blood leaps faster, Where wit or worth's preferred lo birth, And .luck's ai* good's his master!'' Political news from the Capital shows a positive political tangle. Une by one the supporters of t)io Administration arc withdrawing their support and now it would seem that unless some of tho Opposition can be. induced to join his party Premier Semlin must confront a hostilo majority when the House next convenes. Some predict an immediate session, a dissolution and a general election. Othets are calling upon the Lieutenant-Governor to dismiss his present advisers and call upon a new man (no names mentioned) to perform the impossible feat of framing a cabinet out of the Opposition material now on hand. Joo Martin, Digging ar.d MePher- son are Eight Hour supporters in the Opposition now und Helgesou has joined the same party with the view of helping its repeal. Some Kootenay members are credited with a desire lo follow Joe Martin into the Dunsmuir camp as allies. Could a worse muddle of men and platforms be imagined t A general election is necessary to straighten out the tangle and without doubt there will soon be one. This being so, and there seems little doubt of it, every voter should see that his name appears upon the voters' list, ft I ^^ mav soon be needed. By calling at **- this office, all entilhd to vote can secure registration, You supply the name, we do the rest. StaTol©.

The miners who have conducted themselves as gentlemen, acting entirely within their righls, haye won the confidenee and respect not only of the business men of the Slocan but also of these same mine managers, who, although the fight was against them, could not but admire thc manly upright fight that the miners are waging to retain a fair rate of wages in thc Slocan for themselves and fellow wage earners throughout this section of our province. With the amount of work now laid out around our various mines, which must bu completed before winter sets in, (otherwise Dame Nature and not the management will ploin the mines and thu I cause a loss of a year's work to the stockholders) it will puzzle the mine owners to find .skilled labor enough in the country to accomplish it. The only **uHerers through the present trouble have been th*1. business men of the Slocan and lhe holders of stock in Slocan mining pfopcrtitl. As for the miner?, most of them have been able to look upon the matter as a huge joke gotten up for their benefit When tired of being spectutors, the> have shouldered their roll of blankets and gone oft', going to work in some other camp, where skilled lubor woh gladly received and well paid.
