GALENA MINES   SHIPS.
The Galena Mines, whieh lies within
one mile of Silverton and upon whicli Is
installed one ol tlie most complete
hoisting planta in- tbe Sloean country,
has ngnin been slatted up, There is
now no doulit but that Iiefore this mining season drawn to a cloBe Ihere will be
a complete concenlrnting plant in full
operation upon this* property, grinding
•mt concentrate* and dividends for the
owners.
The Galena Mines wail one of the
tir.it propertieH in this disliict to ho de-
velofwd, air.ple capital being procureil
for that purpose in tbe Old Country, but
although the stirfure showing of the
property wna immense ami tin* vein as
(ar as followed was fully up to the expectations of the owneiB, a break occured
in the vein below the 100 feet level.
The company developed a fine water
power aud instated a complete hoisting
plant etc., and sunk a perpendicular
shaft to a depth of 200 feet. They tticn
drifted for the veiu, only lo find it had
been cut off by a break somewhere
below the 100 foot level, as mentioned
above. After expending a large s'nn ol
money, in drifting and trying to find the
continuation of the vein below the break,
tlio English company, becoming; discouraged, went into voluntary 'liquidation and sold out the wine to the prevent
owner*, who are practical American
mining men. Tbe present owners arc
confident of making a good dividend
paying property out of the Galena Mines.
The mine at present is under the management ot C. Hand, superintendent ot
the lywie mine, and under the direct
charge of 8, C. MeOlure, who is atj
present pushing development woik.
During Ibe week a twcnt> ton shipment
of the ore wus shipped to Denver Col.,
and «ftcr tbis sample is run through ami
tested the class of machinery to be
elected for the reduction of the ores
from this mine will be determined upon
by the owners.

SILVERTON'S  SHARE.
On Saturday last, after it bad been
learned how disastrous the Sandon tire
had been, a meeting of the citizens was
held at the Victoria Hotel to take some
concerted action towards* helping the
homeless hundreds in the town over tbe
bill. It was decided that ca_.li would be
of greater benefit to the sufferers than
anything else, as groceries and supplies
were being shipped in Irom Kootenny
Lake points. A subscription li^t was
accordingly drawn up and on Mond.iy
f500. was forwarded lo Mayor Pitts, with
an inquiry as to what else Silverton
could do The list has been left open
for further names.
CELEBRATION,
Celebration matters are moving along
smoothly and everything points to the
fact 'bat the Fourth Annual will bo a
much more successful celebration than
nny of its predecessors, and that is saying a great deal.
Although there has not been tbe noise
attending the preparations this year that
was beard on former occassions, the com-
niiltees hnve worked equally as bard aud
have tbeir affairs in fairly good shape.

With tbe dissolution of the Legislative
Assembly, the duty again devolves upon '
the   E'.odors of the Sloean  Riding to'
choose a member to represent them in
the Provincial Legislature.
It is my intention to become a candi-
date at tlio forthcoming election and
with full confidence in the result I again
respectfully solicit the suffrages of the
electors of the Riding.
While I may point will, pardonable
satisfaction to the manner in which I
have (.onset veil lie interests of the Riding and sought to meet local requirmonts
as far as practicable. I have earnestly
cndi'iivoied to forward legislation in the
interests of the entire Frovirce, and such
as would tend towards its material development.
Constant in attendance at the sessions
of tbe Legislature, I bave been watchful
that no vote of mine should be wanting
for any measure beneficial to my constituents, or the Province ns a whole;
nor have 1 been neglectful of tbe interests of the wage earner, but have in some
degree at least been instrumental in placing their fair demands amongst the principles to be advocated by a great political party, lt is well perhaps tbat I
should briefly stale some of the principles
which I have advocated and shall continue to advocate until they are incorporated in Provincial Legislation.
(13 I am iu favor of an equitable redistribution of the seats iu tbo Legislative
Assembly, based generally upon population but with due regard to tbo interests and circuiiistiinces of outlying and
more (parsley sattleu districts.
(2) I shall advocate the Governmei t
Ownership ot railways, and other public
frauebises so far as may be practicable,
and a general enactment by which companies desiring to constrict railways
may be incorporated williont spe.'ul leg"
islation, aud that railways bonused by
the Province may be under Government
control as to their rates, and subject to
purchase at government option.
(3) I shall do all in my power to nssist
and sapport tho advancement and development of the mining interests of tbe
Province, upon which ils prosperity is so
materially dependent.
(4) I believe in the principle of the
eight hour law, and shall permit no interference with this law as it stands, and
shall insist upon the retention of the
penalty clause.
(5) I shall advocate a liberal expenditure upon trunk roads and trails in the
various districts of the Province, believing that upon such expenditure tbe
development of the vast resources of the
country materially depends.
(6) I shall advocate and if elected assist
in the tnaetment of laws (or the propei
adjustment of Jisputes between labor
and capital, by a well digested, and
equitably arrauged system of compulsory
arbitration.
(7>   I  beiicve that  Asiatic   and  other
cheap labor is detrimental, to the best
interests of  British  Columbia.     1 shall
tl erefore advocate its restriction as farns
it may be intra vires oi Provincial Legislation, and shall assist in  bringing sucb
pressure to bear upon the Federal  Government aa may induce that Government
to   assist  in   Ihe   work,   and will most
emphatically insist that no sucb  class of
labor shall bo employed upon any public
works undertaken  by tbe  Province or
upon such works as are subsidized by, or
in any way subject to the control of  the
Government,.
(8) I believe tbat the Educational
System of lhe Province may be materially improved, and shall give my
heaitiest assistance in bringing it to the
highest state of eflieucy by tbe establishment of Normal schools nnd other
instrumentalities that may teud to the
accomplishment of Uiat object.
(9) I shall also advocate and assist the
development ol tbo Agricultural resources of the Province.
(10) I believe tbat the moneys of the
Province should bo expended upon
some broad and general Rystein which
would ensure the greatest amount of
benefit from such expenditure. In this
Hiding I huve endeavored to iniuguiate |
such a system by having the work npea

Rod Tolmie, secretary ni the Silver-
Lead .Mines' Association, waa in town
on Tuesday looking after the political
end of the Association.
The Independent, a now Coast publication, warns its readers agiinst "anti-
election" pledges. The ^Independent jn
a good paper, b»ing stronger in principle
than orthrography.
An application has been made to the
Courts for an order enjoining the Collector of votes at Nelson from placing nn
the voters'list tbOj 490 names appealed
against by the Fletcher crowd. Tlie
party to which the Nelson Miner belongs
seems to run to injunctions.
Chas. Wilson, Q.C., the leader of tbe
Liiieral-Conservative party, ia a man
who does not believe in advertising, In
his speech in Vancouver, which is being
circulated as campaign literature, lie declares that the entire provincial press is
powerless to turn a single vote against
the Conservatives. This is the style of
remark one would expect from Mr. Wilson.
Mr. \V. C. Wells, the last member for
North-East Kootenay, ha* been asked to
run again in Ihat constituency. His requisition paper was signed by over 300
voters, tally two-thirds of the voting
strength of thc Riding. He will win in u
walk as au Independent. Hit opponent,
Francis P. Armstrong, is one of those
meu who lavor the 8-Hour Law, but believe that its amending is "ol vital importance to the Province."
THE
LIBER VL CONS ER VATIV EH
ENDORSE KEEN.
The   Liberal-Conservative    delegates
chosen last week throughout the Riding.,
to select a candidate to oppose Robert F.
Green, met in Sandon on Wednesday.
There were twenty-two delegates present, every town being represented wilh
ihe important exception ol Kaslo. The
twenty-two were unanimous in endorsing
John Keen, ex-Mining Recorder ol Kaslo, who has been practically in Ihe field
for some time.
The absence of any kind of a delegation from Kaslo is taken to mean lUat
the majority of the Liberal-Conservatives there endorse Mr. Green's altitude
as an Independent land refuse to allow
party lines to b'ind the issues of this campaign.
ONK LIFE-LOST.
When the first reports of the Sandon .
lire were sent out it was thought that
there bad been no loss of life, but later
reports brought news nf the finding of
the charred remains of Miles Rambaugb,
wbo bad reached the town only a few
hours before the fire broke ou*. Rara-
haugli was well known throughout tlu
Province,
DROWNED IN  A TI'NNKL.
Last Sunday a snowsli le came down
near the Idaho mine and 'wo I al inns
who sought icfuie in a tunnel were
drowned, by tbo backing up of the water.
It appears Uiat the slide filled up tho
mouth oi the tunnel nnd also raised the
creek which flowed through the snow
into the tunnel and drowned tbe imprisoned men like rats in a trap.

r. The appealing in a wholesale manner against tno names ot applicants
for tho Voters' List has acted as a
boomerang against those responsible
for the appeals. Although the Collector of Votes refused to allow the great
majority of the appeals, the voters
now know exactly whero they stand
in relation to those who sought their
disfranchisement
Had the laboriqg men. who were
discriminated against in the appeals,
not bad friends at Kaslo ready to look-
after their interests and newspapers
ready to champion their cause, it n-
H'.ite probable that some hundreds of
Slocun voters wonld now be without a
vote. It is interesting to note'* in this
particular that only The Silvertonian
and The Paystreak cam* ou^ttrthf
time as straight champions cf the
threathened voters. The other Slocan
prints either defended the appeals or
ignored the matter altogether. Theie
should be a lesson to learn from this,

That roan, without doubt, is Robert
F. Green. When the mine owners
were trying in every way to breakdown the miners' unions, sluring their
characters as men and askil^ttli
Government to herd them with special
police, as in Idaho, who was it but
our own "1161/' Green that stood up
in his place in the House and defended
tne character acid motives, of the
Slocan miners and hurled defiance at
the tools and creaturc-s of tlm mine
owners gathered at Victoria to influence
our legislators. It waa to A*. Green
tbat the miners looked;' to defend them
in the House and he never failed them.
because we helicve'M»at he has shown
himself to be a tine friend-to cur
friends, the workingmen.
On the other hand wc are opposed
to the present nominee of tlu; Liberal-
Conservatives in this Riding, In
spite of assertions to the eontrarv we
refuse to believe that thnt party as a
hob favors the rcteqtiqn of the,
eight-hour law on the Statute books
We firmly believe that the activi
principle of the In*? would be killed
should Mr. Keen and his friend*,
secure control of the" government
We believe that Mr. Keen's supporter-
are antagonistic as a class to Labm
Unions. Liberal-Conservative can
didates in nearly every constituency
iu which they have been nominated
havo either straddled the eight-hour
question or come out flatly aa opposed
to It. These men belong to the
aame party nnd are running on the
same platform as Mr. Keen-
We have fought for certain principles, of which our readora aro well
aware, and in this fight we can only
bc true to them hvjtakingup the cause
of Mr. Green.

In tbe present electoral campaign
The Silvebtojiian intends to hold up
its end but wi. hope to do so without
tbe necessity of aeing or replying to
personal abuse or mud slinging.
in this early part of the campaign
we wish to state our position clearly.
We believe in the first place in being
consistent. Two years ago we supported the candidacy of Mr. Green, the
present Independent candidate, believing that he would advocate those
causes for which we have'fought, and
we were not disappointed. **At>'r. Jus
election. Mr. Green w^rlaiiid ready
to fulfil his ante-election / pledges,
departing only from this rule when
• he occasion came op of eitherH-otlng
for or against the eight-hour lat^l On
this occasion he violated hi; ^(ee^ttj
pledge but violated it in a noble cause,
earning thereby the applause of the
vast majority of the voters he represented. This departure from his
election platform is now tbe strongest
objection raised against him by his
political enemies here, but we feej
safe in saying that Mr. Green's actions
during the eijht-hour dispute, f^mi
its inception nn t.o tkfcsr*A0Ap*flfp
has, shown linn posessed of more
* backbone than was thought desirable
by the Silver-Lead Mines Association
and their friends, and these are the
men who now seek to.rf^i him.
We   are   supporting     Mr.  Green
