A CREDITABLE  INSTITUTION.
Mantaine.l hy and ran under the
auspices of the Sandon Miners' Union is
the Union Hospital of Sandon. This
institution, situated in the building
formerly occupied by the Sandon Club,
although uot commodious, ia fitted up
with every convenience and is in the
hands of thorough and competent
attendants. Dr. Guam of Sandon is Ihe
resident physician, tne nurses being
Mrs. Fleming and Miss Sarah M.
Chrisbolm, the latter a graduate from
Lowell Mass., and a trained nurse of
wide experience. Since the starting of
this institution there has been a large
number of patients successfully treated,
there being at the present time five
convalescent patients in tl.e Hospital,
The mantainunce of this institution
reflects credit upon the miners of Sandon
and in an example that should be followed
by other unions.
This leaves these two learns with a tie

Slocan has strengthened its team in several places.   A good game is assured .

To day, Sandon will meet Lowery's
Brownies on the latter's field. This gan e
promises to be a close one with tbe
odds in favor of the visitors.
To-morrow, an effort is being made to
arrange a gamn between tho local team
ond the S indon boys. The match will
be played in Silverton.
Matters to connection With the formation of the Slocan Football League will
be settled while all the clubs are together
to-day. Slocan City, Saudon snd Silver-
ton are anxious for its formation, New
Denver beiug rather cqy in regard to it.
POSTPONED.
The proposed Slocan Citv sports, that
had been announced for the Fourth cf
July next, bave been postponed until
some time in the latter part of August
or September. This announcement on
the part of the committee has been made
necessary owing to the plans of the <J P
R, who intend, after the lHih inst., tying
up their steamer "Slocan" for repairs.
The committee consider it useless to depend upon the accommodations provided
by the "Sandon" for tlio transportation
ol their Sandon and Slocan Lake visitors.
Tho tying up ol the steamer will make a
big difference In the number of visitors
NelBou will get from tbis section.

Cleveland, June 11.—What promises to
be a long and bitter contest between the
Cleveland Electric Railway (Big Consolidated) and its 900 employes has been
inaugurated by a strike which tied up all
of the 14 lines operated by the company.
These lines reach all sections of the city
and they fonn the only means of transportation for more than 100,000 people
living in a territory five miles long and
three miles wide at the south end. The
west side is affected but little, only one
line passing through that section, while
on the east side four lines of the Little
Consolidated, of which Senator Hanna is
president, are available for use by most of
the patrons of the tied-up lines in that
section. Tims far the Little Consolidated
men have refused to strike and are not
likely to go out
Will Recoarnlse No Union.
President Henry A. Everett says he is
willing to concede all the other demands
for the men and will adjust all other
grievances when presented by hia employees, but declares he will never retog-
nizc the union, whose demands he characterizes as tyrannical. It is well understood the company has employed men in
other cities to take the' places of the
strikers, but it is difficult to ascertain
whether many of these men are now in
the city. Only about half a dozen cars
were operated today. There were two
Euclid avenue lines and they were under
the guard of deputy sheriffs and were
operated by imported men.
A few mail cars were run by the strikers, who say they will .not obstruct the
mail. There have been several riotous
demonstrations, but none of a serious
nature.
The Colombia Launched.
Bristol, R. I., June 11.—America's new
cup defender, the representative of the
best boat-building skill and materials of
which the western continent can boast,
was carefully lowered into the water at
the Herreschoff works at 8:30 o'clock lost
night, and as she started down the ways.
Mrs. Oliver C. Iselin christened her "Columbia." The launching of the latest protector of Uncle Sam's sailing laurels was
probably one of the most spectacular that
has ever occurred, for the light of the day
had almost faded when she started down
the ways.
A Distressing Accident.
Just as the Columbia was about out a
distressing accident occurred. The explosion of a can of flashlight powder blew
a leg and part of the head off Napoleon
Ban Souci, aged 1_ years, broke the legs
of two other boys and severely injured
several other persons. The photographer
who caused the accident selected the top
of a shed, the roof of which was closely
packed with boys.
Bnrlal af ■ Missionary Bishop.
The buiial at Vancouver of Bishop Dur-
ien who for 25 years worked among the
natives of British Columbia, was the occasion of a remarkable scene.
Surrounding the bier were 6000 Indian-
chanting a death song in the native guttural tongue, swaying their bodies in unison to measured strains of music while
on an elevation in the rear of the catafalque the crucifixion of Christ was being
enacted, a lay figure representing the Savior being lowered from the cross by Indians dressed in vestments of Biblical
characters.
Marksman Missed Hie Man.
Wardner, Idaho, June 11.—Under the
fire of his negro guard, Mike Johnson,
crazy and desperate, made a dash for liberty by jumping into the river. Down
the rapid stream he bobbed like a great
black cork, while on the bank his keeper,
breaking through the underbrush peppered
at him with his Krag-Jorgen«en rifle balls.
Somehow or other the floating target
evaded the lire but the treacherous eddies
were too much for him, and Johnson's
body was found 20 minutes later-
drowned.
Shot Dead.
Manchester, Ky., June 11.—During the
trial of Tom Baker there were serious disturbances, and one man is reported killed,
with several wounded. The militia quelled
the disturbance, dispersing the crowds
when the Catling gun was brought out
For days the court has been hearing arguments on the motion for a change of
venue, and tha motion was granted,
whereupon the court adjourned. Tom
Baker, the defendant, was still out on
bail, and as he was leaving the court
house with the crowd he was shot dead.

■When selecting a site for a tunnel to
develop or work a mine, do not go so
low that the ore cannot be run from the
tunnel directly into a mill on the
breaker floor, from which the ore
would descend by gravity through the
different processes until lt passes out
of the mill, says the Mining ond Scientific press...U there ls a heavy fall ln
tho canyon or gulch below the proposed
tunnel site, the tunnel may be started
lower and the mill may be built some
distance down the gulch in order that
the ore may be trammed Into the top of
the mill.
Republic
Work Is still ln progress on the Dora.
Work ls still being prosecuted ln the
Troubadour.
All work has been suspended on the
Mark Tapley. No reason Is assigned
for so doing.
There ls over four feet of solid
quartz In the face of the drift in the
Princess Maud.
The shaft on the Delta ls 75 feet ln
depth and high grade ore is carried
across the shaft.
The Summit-Republic vein ln the
shaft still Improves In site and quality
of quartz with depth.
The shaft on the Ben Hur is going
down very slowly. The size of the
shaft precludes rapid work.
Thc shaft on the Morning Glory Is
going down rapidly. There Is not the
least doubt that the shaft is ln fine ore.
The Chespa-Blue Jay shaft Is going
down with reasonable speed. It will
be several weeks before the shaft will
reach the 100-foot level.
Some fine silver-lead ore is said to be
coming out of the cross-cut ln tho Independent. It lies north of the Lorna
Doone about one-fourth mile.
Tbe Black Tall ls showing fine ore in
the cross vein, aa well as on the Surprise ledge. Every foot of development brings new surprises.
The Gold Ledge ls making a fine
showing. The average assay Is upward of $40 per ton. The ore that is
being passed through greatly resembles that obtained at the depth of 50
feet.
Home fine ore has been found in the
Mabel. It Is a steel galena carrying
considerable copper. No assay has
been made hence ita value can only be
surmised. There ls no ore In the camp
like It.
The Gold Led*-.* .Extension is also
showing, uo wail. Sufficient work has
been done to demonstrate Ita course
and also to prove beyond doubt that it
carries the same vein as the Gold Ledge
The Gold Mountain shaft is 33 feet
deep. The outlook Is promising There
are several other properties in the vicinity of the Gold Ledge that are likely
to be as rich as that now famous nrop-
erty.
The Lorna Doone In Cody Camp Is
showing up a little better every day.
The entire shaft ls in high grade ore.
This week the shaft will have reached
the 100-foot level when the ledge will
again be crosscut.
The Republic Giant ore ls steadily
improving ln value and the ledge gets
stronger with depth. The outlook for
the property grows brighter every day.
The Palo Alto tunnel ls being driven
along the ledge.
High grade ore Is still the story that
comes from the Republic. There is no
change that ia worthy of record from
day to day. There is no apparent diminution In the width or value of the
orelafcen out. The mill is doing good
work and everything ls working satisfactorily.
The record ef development work for
May is most gratifying. The Increase
over April Is about 600 feet. This will
come as a surprise to many, as lt was
generally conceded that the total would

lake to the headwaters of the creek.
It ls claimed that there is more efficiency in a single heavy stream—
2,000 of 3,000 inches under a high head
—than can be obtained from the same
amount of water under a like head divided into two streams when directed
against a gravel bank, according to the
.if ihi»./ and Scientific Press. The proper method of using two streams at a
hydraulic mine ls to use one stream to
cut the bank down and the other to
wash the loosened gravel Into the
sluices.
Two of the Party Drowned.
•Stockton, Cal., June 11.—At midnight
last night a party of 21 young people who
were enjoying a pleasure ride in the steamer Catamaran on Uie river were precipitated into the water by tlio overturning
of the boat, A desperate struggle for life
followed and for a time it was reported

young people and strong swimmers who
were in the party managed to land the

"Manila, June 9.—Adjutant General,
Washington: The result of the movements in Morong province was to drive
the insurgents into the mountains, capturing Anlipoli and other towns in that
sectioh. Tl.es retreated and scattered before our advance, leaving 25 dead on the
licht. Our loss ia four killed and a few
wounded, mostly slight. The city of Morong is garrisoned. All other troops are
withdrawn.
"Inhabitants of the provinces profess
■friendship, and ask protection. Large
numbers wish to enter Manila, but were
refused, as the city's population is increasing loo rapidly. The leading native*,
about the island, including active insurgent leaders, ask pei-.nis.siou to send their
-.-lilies to Manila, as it is considered the
only pluce of personal security."
The conclusions drawn by the war department officials concerning the condition in the Philippines, given in the dispatch of General Otis, are that the insurgents are little more than a marauding
band which will continually decrease when
the men find there is life and liberty under American government. The people
who are coming into the American line
asking protection ure considered like those
who sought protection in the forts during
thc early slagcs of American development
iu the west.
Nothing is said as to the intention of
Otis to continue active hostilities, but
this matter is left wholly to his discretion
and he will no doubt fight or rest as the
circumstances dcteimine.

DEAFNESS  CANNOT  DE  CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness ls caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It ls entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out, and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which ls nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Desfness (caused by catarrh) that cannot Im cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

The importation of dollar-a-day
men to tbis country, to take the placi a
of the miners now on striko, is something that wi)l not be tolerated by the
business men of this country and the
government will, in justice to bet
citizens, interpose the strong arm of
the law to stop any such outrageous
proceeding on the part cf the minr
owners. A large proportion of the
minora of the Kootenays in composed
of those men, who, taking their packs
On their backs, struok into this country
when it was a barren wilderness,
facini-tho hardships and taking all
tho chances. It is to tlieso men that
the whole country is indebted for the
discovery and prospecting of thig, the
riche-it portion of our pominion, It
is to these men we are indebted, those
men who froze and starved, bucked
•now and built trails, smoothing the
way for the iron horse, tho business
mini,   capitalist*,   and prosperity.
Surely these men are entitled to be
at least allowed to earn, by the sweat
of their brow, a decent living in this
the land they have made. Their
demands are not that they should be
kept in idleness at thn expense of the
community or the rich mine owners,
many ot whom tl.ey hsvn made, bm
that they should bc paid a sufficent
wage to live like men and not like
peons.

In the mines of British Columbia
are hundreds of American citizens,

This fact was shown in a striking
manner during the last Provincial
election, the smallness of the vote in
comparison with the number of workmen, being surprising. In thn natural
course of events, these alien workmen
would never bave become citizens of
Canada, no matter how long their
residence here. While these men were
receiving fair treatment and good
government, they were content to
leave tbe franchise to others. Now,
their votes are needed by tho party
who has legislated for them in the
Eight Hour measure, having made by
this legislation, enemies of the capitalists and their class. In justice to the
government that has placed its political
life in the hands of tho working class.
every man. who is in sympathy with
their actions, should see that his name
is found on the next list of voters for

It is only by their votes that they

Tbe Nelson Miner grows hysterical
over the resolution passed by our lo-
r-al Union last Saturday, a copy of
which will be found in another column.
It propones to imprison the passers at
once. Most of thi" outburst can be
traced to the fact that the Miner has
made itself obnoxious to the Unions,
who have not hesitated in saying so.
If the Miner would confine itself to
highly interesting fish stories and
graphic descriptions of thunderstorms,
it would be doing better service for
itself and for the community.
PBSse.1 Ily The Silverton Bllnsrs' Unl-i.,
Jons   10th,  isoo.
Whereas the wonderful advance of
invention has Increased and is increasing the productivity of labor to that
point where laborers are being rapidly
displace*! by machinery and larger
number- are thus yearly forced to idleness and competition for places to work,
thoreby bringing about a condition that
tends to tbe reduction of wages:
And whereas, if the wage system and
tho system of private ownership shall
continue along with the advance of
invention it is plain to be seen tbat the
condition of wage-workers must grow
rapidly worse unless arbitrarily altered,
Therefore, though we favor .och
political action as shall aa soon as
possible abolish said systems and
substitute thereto* asystem based on tbe
rights and duties of men.
Resolved, that wbilo struggling for the
Co-oyerativo Commonwealth and the
eit.blisbmeut of ju**tico and equality
among mon we favor, for temporary
relief, the reduction of hours of labor as
our best defensive weapon.
And whereas tbe B. C. parliament, at
its last session enacted a law creating an
Eight Hour working-day for underground
miners, which law, it is a»sorted by the
Silver-Lead Mine Owners' Association of
B. 0. and others, was unsought and
iimlesired by us:
Therefore 1* it resolved by the Silver-
ton Miners'Union No. 71, W. F. M..
ihat the contrary Is true; that we favor
the law and its enforcement and that we
shall seek such farther reduction of hours
ns shall make a demand for the daily
labor of every man willing to wo.k,
und n3 shall, bv creating inch increased
demand f ■! labor have a Undo uy ti>
increase ffWjes.
Aud It.solved. That we will support
with our voles the govern ment enmliii*.'
and enforcing thi.s law and ml-Ii othei
laws u tend to restore to labor ita jus'
reward.
Resolved, That it i« an improvement
of our coudition ihat we are Reeking*;
that wo do not feel tilled u o i to
inantain Ihat as iniirh woik can be done
in a few as in man.' hours or that it is
right for us lo continue doing as much
work as heretofore in order that we
may justly demand the same pay. We
assert that we li ivj time too much w irk
for the money, that we wero not getting
ten hours' pay for ten hours' work rand
we deny that we art* asking "ten hours'
nay for eight hours' work."
And whereas it is wise for us to vigorously use e\ery resource at our command
in order to ipeedily effect the ends we
are seekinu.
Resolved, That those who oppose us
are our enemies and that those who aid
us are our friends, and that we will treat
I hem accordingly.
Resolved, That we will not love onr
enemies, that we will not "turn the other
cheek;" that we believe that Retaliation
is Right,
And Therefore Be it Resolved That we
denounce as unworthy of our patronage
such parers as the Spokesman-Review of
Spokane, the Miser of Nelson, the Mining Record of Vancouver, and all others
that, like them, delight in special sophistical and parasitical pleading for those
whs despoil ns and snpport them from a
small portion of the spoils.
And to tbe business man, the merchants and hotel men; to the professional
men, the lawyers, doctors and preachers,
all of whom, at periods of intenser struggles between employer and employee,
usually affiliate with tbe former and deplore tbe agitation that discourages investment—to vou we have this to say:
We know tbat tbe rich would become
richer if we would consent to give them
a larger lake-off. But not only is a just
er and wider distribution of wealth in
our interest, it is in tho interest of the
State or country, and we are therefore
your best citizens. We seek to "encourage" men to hope for the largest possible
share of what they produce and are entitled to. You ask us to "encourage"
capital to come in, by promising to give
it rich rewards. You ask us to "encourage" men with a hundred thousand
dollars to see that thev can here increase
it to a million. But we deny that it is
desi/able to have any man in possession
nt a million, and maintain that we right
fully refuse to aid you in encouraging
capitalists to come here with such greedy
hopes, The higher wages and fewer
hours that we favor would fill this country with the most intelligent, effective
and happiest workmen of the world, a
citizenship to be proud of. The dollar a
day laborers tbat would most encourage
the capitalist would drive every self-
respecting citizen out of the country, nnd
Iene only cabins here for houses, while
palaces would be built in Spokane, Butte,
Salt Lake and London. And we say to
you business and profession*'1 men that,
we propose to "encourage" business ai d
I ro'essional men who do not give aid and
comfort to our enemies.
Resolved, That we do not consider
ourselves any hotter than the minors if
the Coenr d'Alenes. Outrageous and
arrogant wrongs have ever provoked and
should provoke violence. The history of
no country needs to be closely searched
to find records af violent resistance to
tyrants. Good citizeiiB of America disguised as Indians, threw overboard the
sacred property of 're r* pitalist on the
occasion of the I oston T 'ti Party.
