Iii the general advancement made in tho camp this Benson, nothing Btandsout with greater prominence than tho bucccbb attending tho working of thu Hampton group, on Springer creek. It is situated 1 \ miles eastoftho Arlington, and embraces a number oi claims, some of which are old locations. This spring N. F. McNaught, of Silverton, acquired an Interest in the property,and his usual good luck has been with hlin in a marked degree While prospecting the ground ho uncovered a small vein ni phenomenally high irra leore, which lias been opened up in u num ber of [duces. A shipment of three tons from this vein was made In the early Bummdr and returned 790oz to thu ton. In September work was commenced on the property ar.d new buildings erected. Mr, McNaught was here Wcdnes day, to superintend the I ading of another small shipment from the Hampton, consisting of 141 sacks Lie accompanied it yesterday to the Trail Biueltei. The first samplings of this oro went 1040 oz and a gener..! sample -'iii;:. There is no pr perty In this camp cf rich things that can make Buch a showing. Mr. McNaught stated tho main tunnel on this lead was In 10 feet, with the ore carrying a 1 the wav in from the surface. After allexpenses he estimates the drift has netted him fully .„:;.'• a foot. At the present time, Mr. Mc Naught estimates he has $25,U)0 worth of ore blocked out Tin- oilu-r day, he made nnot.1 cr fortunate llnd, a pnivllcl lead having been ox] osed about 150 feet to the ■a-'.

Ovi i-ti-i".!-il Their Powers. At Thursday's sitting of the assizi court, Nelson, the recent conviction of lohn Bulko, a lad bel mging to this town was brought to the nttcn tion of Judge Walkem by •! EI. Bowes. Bulko was convicted by J. i r.'s Eoley and Bull of theft and was given two years in the reformatory. The conviction was quashed on tin ground thaj tho |usticea had over stepped i heir powers. Young Bulko returned here on Friday. od by tho committee, in charge and they deserve all tho credit ooraing. The hall was most last, fully decorated, the music by the Misses Funk orchestra of tho best, nnd the supper lit for n king. There was a bin crowd in attendance, though few from the outside, and the fun was kept up till morning. Tlie Oddfellows have a great name as entertainers and Friday's function added materially tu their record. WOHDS OK TRUTH. Business ?ii,-u lieallxe lhe Advantage ol ilu- Laborer's Trade. "I would rather have 50 laborers as customers than 500 capital! t cist omet'8," was the surprising statement ul a lending Nelson business man tl e other day. Asked for an explanation, he sialed that thc laboring man always spent his tuonev at home and paid the price asked for goods without haggling, while the customer of the capitalist clar.s was prettj certain to attempt the "Jewing'' process, winding up with tho remark that similar goods could bo purchased much cheaper in the east. If the price'is not made to suit hi*1 views. then it Is safe to assert the capitalist customer would semi east lor his goi ds, Sli can mi rchants voice similar experiences to that related above, ami it goes to show that the laboring man is, after all, the mainstay of tho country. He not only developesthe resources of ttio camp, through the medium of his employers, who make tlie profit from his toll, but la- provides themnj ir portion ofthe revenue derived by the business mci of all classes, it is the laborer that builds the h imcs in tin- various camps and his family makes up the bulk ol tho stable p ipulation. lie and his loved onesstiind by thc country through adversity and prosperity, nnd it is his influence lhat stands paramount in the general progress of the camp. • in the other hand,the nv nied man snj urns but briefly in the land, for ho and his family prefer to dwell in the city, with its alleged culture and satiating environments. Seldom are they to bo found as pioneers in any ivimry, and seldom i* t 'u man with lie wad to he fonnd numb ircd among i ns i hardy men who * rospi ct the hills I' n" precious minerals, thus proving the means of establishing liainlels and towns. They are ever those who travel when the read i- uiade easy I i' them. The capitalist grinds the merchant down : ithe small ci nt.-ige upon cost only, and he it i- also wi i m mopolizes the grumbling and Jewing. In this there is an , et le-* .ii for all and it behootes the thinking man ; i take advantage of it. it also presents a striking contrast: the influence < f tho man with moncv is to cheapen, while that of the laborer is to encourage liberality. ties are seeking to buy the entire property.

While you may successfully navigate a balloon in light currents, it is obvious that any floating body lighter than air is at the mercy cf the winds. Such a body cannot carry tbe motive machinery of great power. It is little more than a toy. I have been experimenting several years at my laboratory although I never actually carried my theories into practice. Tbe theoretic results 1 reach will be in time published in book form.

The stream has been named Goring creek, alter Theodore Goring, jhe discoverer. The strike was made last Friday, and already sixty claims have been recorded. The best paj found on the creek was 14 cents to the pan. Tbe best claims are on^the hillside, and nearly all claims recorded are on the hillside. Fifty claims have been recorded which were staked in the stampede last week to Moosehide Bench, only four miles down the Yukon from Dawson. The storm on Lake Lebarge two weeks ago is said to base wrecked 20 scows enroute to Dawson with hay, feed and merchandise. Hansen & Tennant lost two scows worth $3200 each, with their cargoes.

Lilly Bros., Skagway and Dawson dealers, lost one scow, together with its cargo, worth $2000, Names of other losers have not been learned here. Three scows which survived the storm have arrived in Dawson, having much damaged goods. No one was drowned. The body of Martin Stone, drowned in Thirty-Mile river Oct. 6j arrived here today.

Pekin, Oct, 38.—Prince Su, who accompanied the Chinese court iu the flight to Tai Yuen Fu, and afterwards returned here disheartened by the anarchy existing among those composing the immediate advisers of the throne, gives an interesting account of his journey.

"The fight was continued at the rate of 20 miles per dav to lisuau Hua l'u in the most terror-stricken manner. So little authority wa*. exerted that the soldiers even stole tne meats prepared for tbe emperor and empress dowiger. The execution of several for murder anu pillage eventually brought them under control. The court remained three days at Hsuan Hua Fu, and then, owing to the tear ot foreign pursuit, the flight was re.uimed to Tai Vuen Fu, with 10,000 additional troops, who added to tbe discord. 'The empress dowager did little else but weep and upbraid her advisors. 'The emperor reviled everybody. The journey occupied 2<> days, lhe longest route being taken owing to fear of pursuit. "On arriving at Tai Yuen Fu difficulty was experienced on forming any semblance of government. Many edicts were ignored and al- fairs reached a slate of absolute chaos. The emperor would have preferred to trust himself to the allies, hut he was compelled to join in the flight."

Paul-on, convicted of receiving a deposit in the Cent ial Trust & Savings bank, ol which he was president, while knowing the bank was insolvent, today was sentenced to serve an indefinite sentence in New Vork, Oct. 26.—The capture of the defaulting note teller Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., has been officially left in the hands of Captain Mc- Cluskey, chief of detectives, It is said that a reward would probably be offered today by the bank. Developments this morning indicate that the whereabouts of Cornelius L. Alvord, the absconding note teller of the First National bank, are known both to his attorneys and to the bank officials. That no warrant for, his arrest has been asked for has been dae to the efforts of his friends. Negotiations are now on with the bank officials in their behalf that will lead, it is said, to the restoration within a lew days of almost half the amount stolen. Alvord's arrest would be an immediate bar to restitution on his part, In the meanwhile the man, who is said by intimate friends to be in his hous at Mount Vernon, and by others to be somewhere in the vicinity, is un- under close surveillance by detectives. His escape is said to be an impossibility, Alvord is said to have had an enormous sum in ready cash when he took his departure from the bank. This, with his real* estate holdings, several blocks of securities, his wife's diamonds, his horses and livery and his interests in several New York business concerns are under considerations in the negotiations between Alvord's friends and those Irom whom he stole.

"We would be foolish not to re- covet all we can, but would not think of compromising with a thief." "Why has not the bank asked for a warrant for Alvord's arrest?"

Socialism preaches the equality of man; also, that man shall enjoy the fruits of his labor in perfect freedom and tranquility. Shame upon tho white man who would patronize an Oriental in preference to hard-working, honest and respectable men and women of their own race. There is this difference between the candidates. Chris Foley appeals <*to workingnien as a workingman; his rival candidates as "friends" of labor. Do you see the point ? Not content with stealing British citizenship, the Japanese hordes are applying at Vancouver for a place on the voters' list. It is no wonder the workingnien arc becoming alarmed. By actual investigation, 120 Orientals are engaged in the merchant tailoring for men and women in Van* .couver as against 80 whites. Think of tho liability to disease and the menace to civilized workingnien. Judged by their individual merits, •Chris Foley is head and shoulders above his two opponents. The Queen's English suffers less at his hands, his arguments are more incisive and clearcut, nnd lie believes what ho savs. Western life inculcates and encourages independence, as much in the thought as in the action. It is but fit, then, that the Wes.. should be the birthplace cf the Independent Labor Party and witness its greatest glories. Perhaps the chicfest of these glories, will bo the election of Chris Foley. Many profess alarm in the prospect ,of Chris Foley going to Ottawa, in that he could command no pat-ro age for the constituency. At the very extreme he could do no worse than llewctt Bostock or John Andrew Mara. The alarmists also overlook the fact that Chris Foley is gifted .with brains and a tongue, Public ownership of public franchises has never yet failed of practical achievement and success, turn where you will or bluster as you may. Why, even in this monopoly bound Canada of ours, government ownership of tho Intercolonial railway i» pronounced a success; and, if the government could afford to build tho C.P.R. and give it away to men who have since made colossal fortunes out of it, why could they not afford to operate the road along with the Intercolonial ? The exorbitant freight rates of a greedy corporation like .the C. P. It. have done more to retard the growth of the West than any other factor, but the time is at, hand when a government road will give us the relief needed. Thc Intercolonial is reaching out for Pacific connections, and n vote for Foley at this juncture will help the thing along, We Canadians are wont to boast of our country as a land of peace and order, where the presence of the military is suffered simply for exhibition purposes. Recent events, however, have forcibly dispelled this pleasant illusion and have brought tho public face to face with an element of dan ger in the growing power of corporations. The strike in Vallevlield, Quebec, last week, of a couple of hundred laborers, resulted in several battalions of militia being sent to the spot and a score or more of persons being injured. As in the case of the Steveston fiasco last Bummer, the military were really not required, Por a little tact and judgment would have settled the whole matter.
