Civil Engineer W. F. 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.
Supplies for their use have been
purchased of a local mercantile

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.

THE *��� PROSPECTOE
BY W.  D.   PRATT.
Contributed.
INGKKSOI/L FOB  SILVER.
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. Old Boy.

The Province, published in Victoria, thus facetiously announces

it not that the Province was at the

usual amount of cold shoulder and
suspicion which the 'old red sandstone' element of our discriminating fellow townsmen, with a
breadth of mind singularly its
own, offers to anything not in exact accordance with the requirements of the place as it somewhat
crudely existed in 1845, there
would be nothing noteworthy in

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.

He staggered on the streets of Sil-
vertoh ;
He whooped and yelled with all
his might.
[' '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.

For etiquette he had no use,

The Montana Mining and Market Reporter of Butte, Montana,
jays; "The Slocan Prospector,
published at Three Forks, [Kaslo[
B. C. comes to us this week with
an eight-page supplement, giving- a
full and complete description of the
mines of that locality. 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.
