Tye, representing the Great Northern contractors, Foley'Bros. & Guthrie, arrived last Sunday morning, registered from St Paul, and announced that he had come to stay all summer and that other engineers, and Contractor Guthrie himself, would be along before the end of the month, people began to realize that the month of May would see active work in progress on the Kaslo- Slocan railroad. Since Mr. Tye's arrival, other engineers with their equipments have been coming in by every boat, and it is understood that four large engineering parties will be placed in the field at once.

About the middle of last month the steamer Spokane, while lying at the wharf in this city, where it was used for warehouse purposes, and therefore had no one on board, was burned. Here is the account of the fire as it appeared in the Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald; 'TWIXT FIRE AND WATER. PERILOUS EXPERIMENTS OF PASSENGERS ON A BIJIINING CRAFT. Associated Press Lcnscd-wire Service. Spokamk (Wash.,) March 19.��� As the steamer Spokane, plying on the KootenaMake, was crossing the lake for Kelso, i>. C, a fire broke out in the hold and soon spread to the upper decks. There was a panic among the passengers as the flames begun to envelop the steamer, and it required the efforts of the captain and crew to prevent them from jumping overboard. Fortunately the steamer Ainsworth was in the vicinity and reached the burning bout in time to rescue the passenptrs and crew. The boat and cargo, valued at $40,000, is a total loss. Contributed.

According to some of the eastern papers the gold bugs had been V.muting Col. R. G. Ingersoll as .me of their number. But evidently they had reckoned without their host. He has recently come mit strongly in favor of the white metal, notwithstanding lie has always opposed every measure that lends toward liat money. In an oration on honest money some years ago the Col. said: We have had in our country a magnificent inflation. We have in a few years built 75,000 miles of Railroad in this we spent $5,- 1)00,000,000 There was work for everybody Everybody wanted to hire somebody else... . Then the war came and we spent ,$10,000,000,000 more. We scattered all over the country certain notes which we agreed to pay, but we have not paid them yet. In my judgement it did not fake as much patriotism to put down the Rebellion as it will to pay the debt. A man can lie brave for a few minutes in line of battle when he looks [The Col. knew for he had been there.] and sees that no one else runs It is comparatively i asy to die for a principle, but mighty hard to live for it. It is hard work to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and work until the sun goes down and do that for a life time While spending ill is money we had a splendid time but at last the crash came. Many of the railroads failed and their paper-became as worthless as' the iirst autumn leaves that grow on this earth. Then we got hard times. Everybody who had a mortgage as an adornment to his property suffered. Now they say the way to get back to prosperous times is to again go in debt Suppose I bought a farm and gave :ny note for it; bought horses, wagons, implements, &c, gave my notes for them; bought a piano for e my note; and sent lami school and gave my note, nd they al run a year. What a ilendid time I could have for that year. Then when they came for pay I would say: I will give you my little notes for the interest and let them run for another year, What a splendid time I could have for another year. Finally, when they say they must have their pay, what would you think if I was to say to them: really, I never had a better time than when I was giving those notes. We have had more to eat than ever before. The house has been filled with music and ilancing. Now cant you let this thing continue right along. All that is necessary to universal happiness is to let me keep right on giving my notes, and I am quite willing to do so until Gabriel's trumpet puts a stop to the business. Now it is precisely the same with an individual that it is with the government. The U. S. government can't make money, it cant make something out of nothing. It can make what it calls money and it can make you take it; in other words: it has the power to make every creditor take it, and no one else. If you buy a bushel of wheat and offer to pay in fiat money, the man can say I will take $1 in gold or $5 in fiat money, and how arc you going to prevent him And now it is proposed to have money that we promise not to; If nonsense can go beyond that I can not conceive the route it will take.* I wish this government could make money. What a rich nation we would be. I wish the government could make money and I could get my share now. I wish we could make money out of paper so that we could put every poor man in a palace. But the trouble is, we can't. I would rather trust the miserly crevices of the honest rocks for money than to any congress ever assembled. The gold won't cheat you. It is its own redeemer. The reason a gold dollar is worth a dollar is because it will buy the results of the same amount of labor that it took to dig that dollar and to mint it, including all the fellows that hunted and didn't find it. When I take a $10 gold piece and go to England I have to sell it the same as 1 would a bushel of corn, and all that spread-eagle nonsense on its face doesn't add one farthing to its value. And when a sovereign conies here from England we don't care anything about the beautiful picture of Queen Victoria or any other girl. It is worth so much and no more. But they say it is the stamp of the government that makes it valuable. Why not stamp them hundreds, thousands, millions and let us all be millionaires. I tell you it won't do. If the government has the power to make money, why should it collect taxes? It is like the Ocean troting around trying to borrow a little salt water. Or like the sun trying to borrow a candle from some poor devil that has worked weeks to make that same candle. It wont do. Slowly, steadly, surely our money has advanced. Slowly, steadily, surely the world has bad more and more confidence in the industry, the honesty and the integrity of the American people, and to that extent our paper money���our promises to pay���has advanced until it has finally clasped hands upon an equality with the precious metals Remembering the Colonel's many expressions on finance, the gold monometalists recently claimed him as their very own and by distorting some of his statements these would-be masters of financial lore really did make it appear that he was with them. But in a recently published address he challenges them to produce a single word of his predjudicial to silver, and following he rakes them fore and aft, pulls the wool on them the wrong way. Showing conclusively that they are trying to subvert the truth, to eclipse the light so that in darkness they could succeed in their damnable conspiracy to reduce this useful money metal to a commodity thereby enhancing the value of their hoarded gold to that extent that they will enslave and impoverish every soul on earth except the holders thereof who through it will he made the owners of the globe and the perpetual rulers of men.

The following letter from Joe Hkeffington to McDonald Bros, of of the 10-mile house will be read with interest: Coolgardie, Feb. 16, 1895. McDonald Bros., Gentlemen:���I recall to mind my promise to drop you a few lines when I would arrive here, so I find it my duty to do so now. I started from Victoria on the ��� '29th Nov. and got to San Francisco Dec. 2nd and had to stop over till the 13th Dec. We got fare the same from Vancouver via Krisco as we would from Frisco or Vancouver. The C. P. R. starts on the 10th of each month and the Oceanic the 18th from Frisco, by a time and distance table I enclose to you. Io the first place, San Francisco is a great town; you can see everything- and hear everything there. We stopped at the international on Karney St. but Market St. is the main street. And such a condensed mass of people I thought never existed as there is on the corner of Market and Karney. So about 4 o'clock on the 13th I he Str. Mariposa cast her lines for Honolulu, and nothing of any note happened till the night of the 16th, 2nd night out with about 400 on board, when a man by the name of Kenedy jumped overboard. Boats were lowered but no tidings could be found of him. So we landed at Honolulu on the morning of the 20th and coaled up. It is a nice place with line parks .and flow-ing fountains with some fine cocoanut groves, and we went through their public buildings, which are splendid to look at; but the Knacker race that we seen are of a degraded class. At 6 o'clock that evening steamed for Samoan Isles or the town of Apia. We crossed the equator on the 24th; not very hot till 26th. She boiled on us then. Apia has no harbour, so she dropped anchor about one mile from shore. It was not long till there were dozens of natives round the ship to unload some cargo for that place. And must say they are the finest built men and women I have ever seen. They are a pure copper colour; with long silky hair, that is, the female class. A lot of us went ashore. The town is chiefly German. The native huts are constructed of bamboo "iind covered with grass and leaves of different kinds, but are clean and tidy. They are generous and hospitable to the whites. Everything grows there in the line of fruit that grows under the Heavens. So on that eve of the 27th she raised anchor and set sail for Auckland, New Zealand and stayed one night. That town is very quiet and of old style. So then sailed for Sydney, N. S. W., and Btopped 6 days for a boat for Melbourne. I went overland 680 miles. I wanted to see the country and must say I saw a poor country ��� a few fields of grain and patches of vineyards. At the Btations you can see from one dozen to 5 dozen of goats for to give milk. Such is ..that country. Melbourne is a fine town but very quiet. So we started on the Str. Rocktou on the 15th Jan.; and to describe that dirty hulk and the class of humanity and other animals I must refer you to Noah's ark: for we had Africans and Asiatics, we had southern niggers, bulls and cows, stud horses and mares, we had parots and bull dogs and bird dogB, together with about six hundred passengers for the Western coast; and got to Free- mantle on the 28th. So, such was life on the briney. So we took train for Southern Cross a distance 232 rniles. From there we footed it for this promised land 120 miles and one of the most barren tracts of land that was ever left bare for man tq set his foot on. It is nothing but a mass of pure Band, and completely void of natural water, and the country continues so as far back as it is explored���some 400 miles from here. They build big resirvoirs round hills or rocky points���or kind of ditches -that catch the water when it happens to rain, and that may lay there for months at a time. They have some artesian wells, but thut is all salt and has to be condensed. There are no streams here and any water or soaks you find is of the most polluted character. The hospitals here and along the road is full of people with the fever. So such is the facilities of this place. Now, regarding the mineral, there is fifteen stamps about two miles of this town running some time and that is all the machinery that is turning a wheel. I was out about 4 miles today (and Mike Mack) where we were told they were putting up two mills. They are putting up one of some kind but at the other there is not one pound of machinery in the country for it for I was talking to the superintendent. I intend to stay here awhile unless the fever gets too bad. It is back in the brush as well as here. This country is sea level���ore in an odd place. So I think I sent you all particulars. I will write to Johnny after awhile. I have been out every day since I came here, and had to pack every drink of water. Joseph Skeffington. Give my kind wishes to all the boys. Wm. Baillie has quit railroading and tackled the more difficult job of publishing a newspaper. He is the reputed editor of the Vancouver Budget. The Slocan Prospector, which has been published for a long time past at Three Forks, has moved to Kaslo. It evidently thinks that Kaslo is all right.���Wellington Enterprise. . The editor of the Rossland Record wishes us success in our "new field." We thank him for his good wishes but we do not regard Kaslo as a new field. It has been a part of our field for several months. West Kootenay, and especially the mining district lying between Kootenay lake and Slocan lake, including all the towns in that district, is th^ Prospector's field and has been for two years. Its moves have not been to a new field but a shifting of position, as a business house in a large city might move from one street to another of the same city.

[' 'Tis plain enough," remarked the villagers, "That Sandy Cameron is tight." At Denver, too, he ��� drank some liquor, It quickly flew unto his head; They gathered up his helpless carcass And gently put it on a bed. He next at Three Forks drank some whiskey, Beer, Tom it Jerry, ale and gin; He knew that if he didn't travel Con. Sandilands would run him in. The road was long, aud he was thirsty When Kaslo loomed upon his sight, He braced up on some brandy But whiskey was his favorite. Disorderly (with such a jag on) For etiquette he had no use, He fell into Chief Whiteley's clutches And landed in the calaboose. CITY Of KASLO. BY-LAW NO. 25.

This paper states that 6000 tons of ore valued at $800,000 has been shipped from that .-map in four and one-half months. The Prospector is published by W. D. Pratt." The Rossland Record says: "We have received Randall H. Kemp's write-up of the mines and prospects of the Slocan. It is most comprehensive, and, considering the largo scope of country that a resume of #h is kind covers, is very complete. It is issued as a supplement to the Three Forks Prospector, and for an advertisement of Kootenay is the best we have seen." Tim C.n.ique. To have a comiqne in the city is at least a distinction, as there is no other comique in the province outside of Victoria. The acting in the plays and farces at the Kaslo r.omique is probably neither better nor worse than in most others of its class. The grand aggregation of artis ts which Mr. Holland has listed on his bill board this week consists of Harry Brown, James Ryden, E. A. Russell, Si Robinson, May Fuller- ton, Eva Lester, Grace Woods, 01- lie Morris, Lulu Diamond, Minnie Gregory, Amy Bushell, Mable Steele, Lillie Flagell, and Fred R. Gardner, stage manager.
