McNeill's ex--; cuse,is^press of business,../Terrible snow storm in New York and thi East last Saturday. Trains blocked. Traffic entirely suspended. Winnipeg, Nov." 19.—[Special.] It is announced in Portage La Prairie that Mr. N. Boyd.M. P.-elect of Macdonald, is to resign in favor of Mr. Hugh John Mcdonald, and that Mr. Mcdonald will then assume the leadership of the opposition in the Dominion House. In the event of this change taking place, the Conservatives think that in view of his severe defeat in Brandon, Mr. McDonald should be returned by acclimation. It appears that Mr. Boyd is not anxious to be one of the opposition at Ottawa. Didn't Enow What Struck Him. Hugh McKee returned from the Similkameen last week. It appears that the account of his accident copied from the Star last week was incorrect. ■• He and partner, hearing the bell near camp, went out to round up their horses. They were,separated and in running through a clump'of bushes he was struck on the head with a rock or sling-shot and when he again knew what he was doing he was still running. It is supposed that someone hidden in the brush struck him while passing.—Greenwood Miner. Stage Had an Upset. The out going stage met with a bad accident aboutiwontniles from Otter Flat Sunday niglliK The stage, which was wheels, went over the bank with mail, passengers and baggage. Two passen gers, J. E.

It t there is scope here for governmental activity. The town of Keremeos lies a mile more up the valley of the creek of the same natne, and is beautifully situated on a grassy slope with an easy fall to the creek. There is a good hotel, a general store, etc. Proceeding northward up Keremeos creek a couple of miles Cedar creek is ssed, flowing in from the. Along the netha ntal a< adwi '. of , many claims have been staked. Two and one-half miles up the Keremeos valley from Cedar creek a big Indian reserve is encountered. Here is a country many miles in extent and of great mineral promise. The aspect of the landscape over great areas is parklike, and nowhere is traveling difficult. The Columbian and Western railway has been surveyed and located down the valley of Keremeos creek, and will consequently run within a few miles of all the properties which are herein referre< to. The valley of Keremeos creek affords a long stretch of land valuable for agricultural purposes. Wherever an attempt has been made to cultivate the soil it has been shown to be extremely productive, and in the future, when the mining industry has brought a large proportion of ae of the best known camps in tbe ilkameen, situated as it is in tbe t of the district, is Camp Hedley, a writer who lately paid the Similkameen a visit The most important property iu this camp on which stead) development has been in progress for many months, and which is shortly to have a thoroughly equipped mining plant in operation, is the Nickle Plate mine It was located late in the fall ofj 1898. Shattlimfter it was examined by J. O'Toolc, Marcus^paly'l expert, who secured a twelve months bond on.a basis of|60j00o. K. MT Rogers is in charge ofj development, and before the bond had expired showed up over $100,000 worth ore. There are three veins on the claim one of which is said to average^Sojge ton. In camp Hedley most of the properties are surveyed, and a great many are crown-granted. Among the most impor tant groupes in this camp besides the Nickle Plate might be mentioned the Climax, Rollo, Iron-sides, Draw, Ret Mountain, Wellington, Arlington and Oro Plato, all on the east side of Twenty- mile creek; the Ready Cash, Roadsides Red Chief, Copper King, Jubilee and Mana V., and many others are on the west of the Indian reserve and Twenty- Mile creek.

Bail* May be Laid Up Trout Creek- Construction in January. . It is such a well-settled fact that Republic is to have a railroad in 1901 that no one seems to question it. The veyors are still hard at work in the field and are beading that way. The camp for sometime has been at Curlew. It is said after all the road may run up Trout creek and come across by Mud lake into town. There are good reasons advanced why the road is likely to come that way. It is now quite apparent to mining men that the north end ore must go to a smelter for treatment, and it must be hauled by a railroad. The shortest route from the Mountain Lion and Tom Thumb mines is by Trout creek. Engineers say thi grade is not excessive. Palmer & Co., of Spokane, who have a bond on the Mountain Lion, are at present negotiating with the promoters of the road to tak< over that property and add it. to their string of good investments in this northern country. With this mine alone nnder their control there would be no question about having enough ore to The Grand Forks Miner has the following concerning the road: "The railway question was brought to the front this week by the visit to Grand Forks by Major R. G. Edwards Leckie, manager of the Republic mine and vice-president of the railway * from Republic to Grand Forks, promoted by Clanence J. McCauig, Warner Millei and associates. In conversation with 2 reporter, Mr. Leckie stated that there was some delay arising over the location o .Le ialw.y lines, as the Indiana! lotments to be crossed by the rail-way be paid for before the work on construction was commenced. "The Department, he said, was further insisting that the valuation of these lands be made under theii direct supervision and was sending a commission out from Washington to investigate the and to appraise all Indian lands crossed by the line. As soon as this work is completed, says the Major, the actual construction of the line will be commenced. He refused to discuss the question of whethei or not the road is controlled by the C. P. R. "Referring to the work of construction he said, dirt would be flying by the middle of January, at the furthest and perhaps a little earlier. The road would certainly be completed by the first of | "The Major says there are thousands of tons of ore in the Republic camp only waiting transportation to pour smelter- wards, and he confidently expects to see some heavy advances in many of the stocks of that section when operations are commenced on the road."

Phe Similkameen, one of tbe y mining districts of the pro- ce, is being talked about. There 1 be no doubt of it. The evi- ices of the awakening of the out- 2 world to the great possibilities his baby growing into a strong 1 husky reality, and becoming big for its wadding clothes, are reasing every day. [*o all appearances the Similka- sn is beginning to receive as ch inquiry and attention from ious resources as any mining ip in the province, and it is illy pleasing to note the in- edby gen eral from neighboring districts. The differenent newspapers in the province, and across the boundary line, are by no means niggardly in their gifts of space in praise of their j new baby brother, and it is no uncommon thing to see a well written descriptive article, from reliable resource, relative to the resources and possibilities of this district, given a column or more space on the first All this combined with persistent rumors in regard to railroads shows plainly that the leaven is begining to work, and that some lively action will be revealed before many moons no one who has been closely following the events for the past six month can doubt. If rumors and reports are true both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern are looking upon this and the Palmer mountain country as a very possible field of action, and one which would make a very profitable quarry. Besides this we have the V. &. E. casting sheeps eyes at us, and last, but not least, we have the new pro posed road from Nicola valley down to Princeton and on to the Boun- ary country, which is now making application for a charter. As for the C. P. R. there is little dcubt but that when they see a profitable territory being taken away from them they will arise in all their generosity and move heaven and earth in their endeavors to save us from any such kindly fate. Take it all together and the fact that we are being talked about is a very encouraging state of affairs, and no matter where the assistance in building up this promising community comes from it will be thankfully received and amply rewarded. NOTE AND COMnENT. The New Denver Ledge, the'Re- iblic Pioneer, the Greenwood e Rossland Miner devoted a column or two of their most prominent space in descriptive articles relating to the Similkameen last week. Thanks, awfully. Mines Work is on, on the wagon road between Keremoes and Princeton, but judging from newspaper reports of proper tools and appliances delaying progress there would seem to be adoubt as to whether the appropriation or the road is being worked the most.—Grand Forks Miner. The Phoenix Pioneer has just completed its first year of usefulness and started in for a second. The Pioneer ispoe of the best and most readable papers in the province, and certainly deserves the healthy patronage which the appearance of the paper indicates. Now that the little toy fights in England and the United States are over, Canada will show the world hat a real election is like.—Pro- ince. Just wait till the election comes off in ths Similkameen before you try to startle the world. We may be a little late, but we would like to simmer in that 'jackpot' no matter who takes 'em. The Grand Forks Gazette relates to its readers a dream it claims to have had lately, but we doubt very much if it was original. It sounds very much like a paragraph which has been going the rounds of the press for the past month or two, and which appeared in the Star some time since. If we remember right we clipped it out of a patent de of an out-of-date American paper. Dream again Bro. A woman will yank up the guy ropes of her corset until she almost squeezes her immortal soul out of lace and put a dead bird on her hat and go strutting around over town, selling tickets for an entertainment to raise money to help send missionaries to China for the purpose ot teaching civilization to the poor heathen who have never known what it is to wear a corset, and who have been struggling on in ignorant belief that birds were created to sing instead of to be worn on the hat.—Ex- It is said that railway men generally declare that we are going to have a hard winter. When asked for an explanation they say that they feel it in their bones. This is not altogether satisfactory. The Indians, however, it is claimed, give a better reason why they believe a severe winter will prevail. They say that when berries are plentiful during their season we may expect cold weather and ice. The past summer, the huckleberries, raspberries, and etc., grew in abundance in the surrounding country. We will note the outcome and if the Indians are weather wise or not. It was very mild last winter, and two mild winters seldom follow each other. Two notable figures in the business life of the Pacific northwest are removed in the death of Henry Villard, former president oF" the Mnrr'hprn Pflpjfi^ gnrTfll grniic Daly, the copper millionaire and political dictator ofthe Democrats in Mon- 1. The former was identified in the early history of one of the first railway systems to push its way westward, while the latter was le/ofuie most unique characters « well-known personages the northwest has produced. Besides being one of the greatest copper kings of the west, attention has been drawn even more closely to on account of the political battles which have waged between the Daly democrats and Senator Clark factions for some years past. The most remarkable part of their political differences was the fact that they were brother-in-laws. Prospectors ....STOP! If you want to Outfit cheaply and quickly, do so at the KEREMEOS STORE WM.

Consider- abl snow fell, the latter part of last week, and since then, the thermometer has taken a sudden drop for the worse making'a person bave an uncontrollable desire for some thing •'warming." Tuesday morning it had dropped to 8 degrees below, while Wednesday morning it went downJto_JL8_degrees below. On Thursday it commented to snow again and kept it up all day long, making the total snow fall about 12 inches. Ssfe: JP JP . We are still having fine . weather in Trail, says the News. The atmosphere is clear and bracing. The sun warms all nature at mid-day. Flowers are still blooming in many of the gardens, as beautiful as when they appear in spring. We have on our table a bouquet gathered yesterday morning from the garden of Mrs. T. W. Coleman up the gulch, The conditions are quite different with our near neighbors at Rossland. The sjflpw has covered the ground for several days, and even sleighing has been indulged in. jp jP It is reported that a promising young merchant of this place, wbo caters to the public in a small way, came very near unearthing a terrible crime the, past week. While out walking he came on to a bundle of blankets which appeared to have no owner. While investigating he heard a frightful groan from the bottom of the hill. Believing that some tragedy was being enacted and that he would be unable to cope single handed with the assassins he hurried away for assistance. Upon returning the participants had flown, but by the looks of the zig zag trail they took they were attacted by no worse an enemy than a good sized jag.
