All the members were present at last Monday's meeting of the eity council. W S. Gere, deputy minister of lands and works, wrote: "Your letter ofthe Hit nit., addressed to tbe provincial secretary, asKing that the Slec:tn school house grounds be deeded over to the school board, has been referred to this department, and I beg to Inform you that the matter is receiving attention and a crown grunt will be is.ua! at an early date." Other communications read: From B. C. Engraving Co., Vancouver, submitting price of $24 tor a collector's roil; from the Colonist, Victoria, offering ona for $18. The three letters were ordered filed. Moved by Aid. McCallum, seconded by Aid. Nichol,that the city clerk procure a copy ofa roll from the Victoria Colonist. Carried. The health committee -ubmittcd the following it port: "We, the un doi'signed coinm'tee on health, beg to submit to you our estimate for this year's expenditure for cleaning up streets and lanes of all garbage; also to collect all dry garbage, etc., at present Mattered all over ihe garb- aga ground; and also to dig and scrape out a trench, 50x10x4 feet, to receive all niglit soil and liquid mat ter. We find that wo will require tba following amounts to do this wr.ik: cleaning up streets and lanes, $20; collecting jrarbage and digginc trench at garbage ground, fM.

The lire, wnter 4 light committee stated tliey did not require any ap propria tion at present. Aid. Worden moved that the reports be accepted and referred to the finance cuminittce ior supervision and to allot funds. Aid. McCallum objected to that move, as the council sliould deal witli the question of striking a rate. Aid. Wordon then withdrew his motion in favor ef tlie reports being laid on thc table for ono week. Sec onded bv Aid. Smith. Aid. McCallum said the fire, water and light committee could nut ask for much money, as there would be so little funds forthcoming from council, unless a high rate of taxation were struck, anl there was no use at pre ent demanding a fire engine and other supplies. Motion pit and carried. Bills presented: T. McNeish & Co. coal, $7; K.A. Bradshaw, stamps, $1. Referred to finance committee. Chairman Robertson said that the council should bo prepared at next meeting to strike rate of taxation. Aid. McCallum thought the clerk should prepare a statement of probable expenditures and receipts, and then the oout-.ll could see what they had to contend with in getting at the rate of taxation. Tlie clerk said tho council owed $800 and had |1M on hand, with several bills remaining unpaid. Aid. Smith asked to have the elcrk's statement for Wednesday evening, as the finance committee would then meet and prepare for the striking of the rate, Aid. Worden inquired if the council had a member on the board ofthe M. U. U-eneral Hospital, as the man •irrement desired civic representation thereon. A discussion ensued upon tho question ef admitting a female patient into the hospital, Aid. Worden and Nichol moving that Aid. McCallum and Barber be a committee to act in the matter. Carried. Aid. McCallum nsked the privilege for himself and others of planting trees and boulevarding the residential streets, the trees'*to be planted at a fixed distance from thc side lines. All such work would be done along given lines, and there were a number of ratepayers who would follow out tho idea. Tlio request was granted, on mo tion ot Aid. Smith and Barber. Aid. McCallum brought forward the question of making a $50 grant. to the band, provided funds were available for the purpose. Aid. Barber thought the idea good and favored doubling tho grant, if possible, as did also the other aldermen. Aid Barber moved that the sum of $50 for the band be placed in the estimates for the year. Seconded by Aid. Nichol and carried. Aid.* Worden called attention of board of works to dangerous condition of sidewalk near Aid. Robert- sen's placo and suggested a railing being placed thereon. Chairman Robertson called attention to the trees in the river, cut and put in there by the C.P.R. When the high water came, there was dan ger o*' the trees taking out the lower bridge. Instructions were given the board of works, to pnt a railing on the Main street sidewalk, where necessary. Council adjourned. A HIU DEAL. Max Hrckinaaii Disposes of Bis Various Mineral Holdings. One of the largest and most com prehensive deals put through in the camp this season was concluded dur ing thc week, whereby Max Heck mann disposes of bis several mining interests. It was a sort of double deal embraced in the one transaction. Ernest Ilarrop, of Nelson, acquired a 5-18 interest in each of the Crown Point and Nelson claims; J interest in each of the Swiss, Highland Chief, Berne, Rocky fraction and Kootenay Pass; and j interest in the Black Prince and Clipper. James W. Moffatt, of Nelson, and A. York secured a quarter interest each in thc Eva claim. The full deal calls for a bond of $C000and a certain cash payment bfsides. Harrop's purchases are all situated on the one mountain at tlie In ad of Lemon creek and embrace whnt is known as the Alpine group. Part of tlie latter group is fu the Nelson division and all are crown grant ed. It is the most famous free milling gold proposition in the country •ind is destined lo turn nut a big producer. There arc three distinct ledges in Harrop's purchases and all are free tiiillii:g,carrying pretty high values. The Alpine at one timo was limit r bond to A. Dick, of Rossland, for $00,000, who spent a good deal of money in development thereon. The other interests iu the group arc held principally in New Denver. The Eva claim ndj ins the Speculator group, on Springer creek, to the cast, and has a vein exposed similar to that oa the Arlington. Messrs. York and Moffatt have strengthened their position by securing a half interest between thr in in thc Deadwood and Greenwood claims adjoining tlie Eva from W. Harris and J. Reid, tlie whole three claims being known as the Dead weed group. It is the intention of the purchasers in each case of all the claims mentioned to work their holdings during the coming summer. The deal was the outcome of negotiations conducted bv Jos. Saulter and A. Yoik. Max Heckmann and his brother will leave shortly to visit their parents in Oregon and then proceed north to Dawson, to prospect for pold. Hutlliigtou Cosnpaay Incorperated. During the week the Burlington Mining & Milling Co. was incorporated at Spokane, Wash., with n capital stock of $150,000. Tlio incorporators are W. D. Wrighter, W, S. Rogers, C. W Geib, J. H. Travels and T. A. Noble, the latter being of Pittsburg. The property ownoJ by the company is tho Iron Horse group of claims, situated below the Enterprise mine, on Ten Mile. Up to two weeks ago the property had been working continuously for somu months, an I nn elegant chute of oro has been opened up on the Enterprise vein. There is a good hoisting plant at thc niiee and a full equipment of buildings. A wagon road connects the Iron Horse with the Enterprise road,giving easy communication at all seasons of tho year. Trnnafer Mewl Extension. Sidney Norman, -alio has the bond on the Transfer group, sent in last week and asked for an extension of time for tho first payment on the purchase price, which fell due on May 1. The extension was granted bv the owners, as thc bonders wished to do much mere work. On Tuesday ef this week' the men employed came down the hill, stating that tbey were going to have a 30 day lay oft, tlioir grub having run short, and the trail too soft to take a horse in. Sleoan's guldlnr Hoys. Letters were received last week from Messrs. Luke, Law and Clarke, the three Slocan boys with the second Canadian Rifles in South Africa. Thoy had arrived safely at Durban, but all three had been in hospital owing to sea sickness. The corps was quarantined, as smallpox had broken out in the ranks and there was no telling when they would be released. NEW GOLD DIGGINGS. Reported Discovery Near Head of Keote- n ay Lake. A report comes from Kaslo that word has been received there from parties that gold exists en Cooper creek, three miles from Lardo. Proulx, Ulvin, and other men this spring gave the creek a diligent search, with the result that they have come to the conclusion thnt gold docs exist in paying quantities. They are now organizing a company and will give it a practical test. Proulx and Ulvln are -very reticent, but they are incorporating a company, under the title of the Cooper Creek Gold Mining Co. They have a force of men working on the ground and have located nine claims. They are building a dam and will carry all tbe waters of Cooper creek in a flume past the ground they intend working. A scow load of lumber left Knsle a few days ago along with other supplies, for the new company. This lumber was specially cut by the Kootenay lake sawmill. The gold is decidedly coarse and very often a pan of dirt from the surface yields 25 cents. There is considerable truth in the report as numerous prospectors are going into the camp. Cooper creek, from thc can- yen to thc railway track, a dist nee of half a mile, has been staked. People around here are awaiting patiently for the company to finish the dam aud make the test. If everything turns out as first reported, the stampede to Thunder mountain and Car iboo will net be in it. About 20 years ago Colonel Fry at the mouth of Fry creek panned out a large sum. A slide came down and covered his diggings and work was suspended. AXOI lll.lt DEAL. W. E. Boie, while here during the week, disposed of a large portion of his mineral holdings to W. T. Shat- f«rd and some Vernon friends. In this camp tho deal included a quarter interest in the Dorest and Sum- mcrside, two of thc Black Prince group, on Springer creek, and which are regarded as valuable possessions. But the majsir portion ofthe transaction embraces property in the Similkameen country, where the purchasers secure a quarter interest in no less thun 13 claims. These are all copper prospects and include some ofthe Lest showings in that camp. They are located on Dodd's mountain, in what Is known as the Aspen Grove section, about 15 miles or so from Princeton. One of the groups, known as thc Vancouver, is eonsid ered the leading property in the sec tion. It has an ore body exposed 50 feet wide, averaging 13 per cent iu copper. What work has been done is principally surface cutting, but there can bo no doubt as to its worth. Ernest Mansfield at one time held u bond on the properly for $100,000. As yet there is no communication to the country, bul so soon as the Coast railway is built the property will become very valuable, Dad Allen and Con Murphy, of this plnce, each own a quarter in the 13 claims mentioned. Hospital Improvements. The hospital building is boing moyed back from the street, so as to permit of tlio erection of a double decked verandah in front. The present shed iu the rear is to be pulled down and a new addition built the full width of the building, and in it will be located a bathroom. Other improvements arc contemplated, including painting thc hospital inside and out. New TssBiii-1 on Neepawa. An intermediate tunnel was commenced some time since on tho Neepawa, above the Dickinson tunnel and below whero thc recent shipments wero taken from. The distance to the ore chute is counted at 200 feet and thc drift is advancing about six feet a day. Three shifts arc employed nnd so soon us tho ore body is cut shipments will follow. Retnrna en Duplt'X Ore. Cross & Nathan have received their returns on the ore shipped from the Duplex, The figures were quite satisfactory, giving about $70 per ton net. The gold values were in tlie neighborhood of $25 and the balance was in silver. The sleighs from the Arlington got stuck Wednesday coming down, as the snow is wearing off fast. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL SHOWING MADE BT THIS DIVISION. Last Tear's Shipments Were 0514 Tom— A Healthy Kvldence or the I.ife and Wealth or the Cuinp—Arlington tbo Biggest (shipper. Only the Arlington is represented in the shipping list this week, tliey having sent out their regular 80 tons, It is not likely their shipments will amount to much now, owing fo the breaking up of the roads. Both the Enterprise and Neepawa will ship from Ten Mile next week, and the Fourth of July will make a small shipment from town. For 1900 the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, mado up from 10 properties. Last year the exports totalled 0529 tons, from 14 properties. Following is a full list of the shipments this year to date: Mi.va. »m. TOTAL. Arlington 80 1011 Enterprise 240 Ottawa 7 Neepawa f*0 May • Paystreak 6 Duplex 7 80 1385 MINKS ANQ> MININO.

Spokane parties aro nibbling at some property on Twelve Mile. M. Cameron has tbe job of packing down the ore from tho Fourth of July group. The Sandon, .mines shipped 22G tons of ore last week, all over the Kaslo road. A liberal quantity of supplies and equipment has been sent to the Ottawa during the week. P. W. George is back in the camp again. lie will do some more work on the Creole, Lemon creek. The Arlington and Speculator have been laying in supplies sufficient to lart a month or so, as the roads are breaking np. Several carloads of stulls for the Arlington are piled up at tbe roundhouse. Ihe timber comes from near Slocan Crossing. Ernest Mansfield is on his way out from England. On his arrival something may eventuate in connection with tbe Chapleau. The Binish boys are developing a likely prospect ni Twelve Mile, adjoining the Paystreak. It carries high values in gold and silver. II. I. Kirkwood has been opening up a promising prospect on his town- site at Enterprise Landing-. It has a big vein, carrying niueh iron. As a result of smelter talk np tie lake numerous iron cup ledges on Ten Mile have recently been staked. The government is so much ahead. The men came down from the Fourth of July on Friday night, having been driven eut by water. They have 11 tons of ore on the dump taken out under lease. Hill Bros.' tug camo down from tho head of the lake Tuesday, bringing a barge load of lumber for the Ottawa mine. The material is to ho used for new bnnkhouses. Thc Slocan brought down two tons of ore from the Prescott, Four Mile, on Friday. It had been taker out under lease by Hsuek & Harvey of this city. Tho ore was sent lo Nelson. Part ef the wages of the employees at the Iron Horse have been paid and the balance will be settled in a few days, as also the store bills. Angus McLean, the superintendent, wont out to Spokane te arrange matters with the company. MIMING RKCOnDS.

No one heard what he snlil, but whatever lt was It ■ Lad a magical effect, for Sim was transformed In an Instant from a state of listless apathy to one of eager and excited Interest. His face beamed, and hi:* eyes glistened, und be trembled from head to foot. [In sprang up nnd Started out, but Sar.i Morgan hild his hand gently on his nt 11 lo detain him. - The next moment n woman appeared In the open door. Evorybody looked up nnd saw It was Lot a. Then a silence as still as death rail over the scene. Bhe paused for an instant and glanced around. Her eyes wondered until they rested on Sim. Then with a cry full of joy and pathos she tottered toward him. Ills nrms opened to receive her, and the next moment she wns folded to his brenst, nnd ln silence they Were weeping together. Nobody spoke. It was a scene too impressive, too sacred, to be disturbed. Mnny stood wltb their beads bent, their hearts full.nnd their eyes moist with tears. Sam Morgan drew his handkerchief from bis pocket nnd hastily turned his face away, while Ebenezer Sparks stood (smiling Idiotically, making heroic efforts to appear unaffected. No one moved but Pap Sampson. He stood thumping tbe floor with his cane ns though he had a contract to thump a hole through It and was determined to accomplish his undertaking. All the while there was a smile on his wrln- kleil, tanned old face such as had not been 6een tbere for ninny days. He was hnppy, and no wouder! He had worked and hoped and longed for this all thoso four long years. It was Sim who broke the silence. Taking Louisa's bead between his bands, be raised It gently until tbelr eyes met Then be saw that Bhe, too, had suffered. "l'oor little girl!" he said tenderly, "lt has been hard, cruelly hard, for yon." "Yes," she sighed, "hard and dark, but it has been harder for you. Poor Sim!" "And you pity me too'f" She Brew closer to him and met his eyes with hers In a look full of tenderness. "It Is not that, Sim," she whispered. "It Is not pity." He began to tremble. Ah, could ft be that heaven was about to open right before blm, with all Its light and glory, after this long, weary night of bitter desolation? He dared not hope. It was too much to expect. In husky, eager tones he said: "Louisa, tell me, what Is Itr "lt is love." Tlieu to Sim Banks all the glory and joys of earth and heaven were unfolded, and In one moment nil the dark sorrows nud pains of tbe past, all tbe threatened dangers of tbe future, passed nwny as a dream. Tbat was the one moment of supreme bliss la bis life. Holding ber close to bis heart, be said: "Loueesy, Is It really true? Can It be possible?" "It Is," sbe replied. "It Is nil tme. I love you. 1 bave loved you for a long time. How could 1 help It after all your goodness to me and lhe way you did when you went away?" Sim looked at her wonderlngly. "I don't underr-tand," he said. "1 only tried to do my duty the best I could. It wasn't much." "It was much to me. It waa enough to show me tbat you are tbe noblest and best man tn tbe world, and I love you wltb my whole heart and soul." Sim was too happy to speak, so he stood .silently stroking her hair, absorbing the Joy wltb wblcb the very air seemed impregnated. After a little while she snld: "And now, Sltii, can you ever forgive me after all 1 have made you Buffer?" "Forgive you. Loueesy"" be exclaimed. "Ood koows I never bad a bard thought for you an never blamed you for anything lo my life." "No, but for all that, Blm, I was wicked." "You was not to blame. Wbat yon done you couldn't belp.

"I kuow now," she said, "that I jiover loved before—not with such love lis this." Some tbere were wbo watched this reunion of husband and wife with curiosity, some who watched It wltb Joy and two who wntcued It with malice and envy. These last wove Mary Mnnn and Jim Thorn. Tliey did. not forget that Sim wns umler arrest and Hint probably the gallows or the state prison awaited him. but in r-plte of thnt they would have deprived htm of tbe happiness of tbls bflef in*uncut. Snm Morgan wns rejoiced, yet trou bled He was nappy to see Siiu uud I.ouImi Joiued In love, but he. too, remembered tbe future and what tt likely held for Sim. Turning to I'ap Sampson, be whispered: "I'd give the world If Blm wos only fri'e. It seems so bard to take him from bis wife uow." "Sim's Innocent," Pnp replied, "an I don't b'lleve he'll have to suffer." "I wish 1 could b'lieve lhat. Pap, but I cau't, I don't see no reason for hope." "I'll hope to the Inst, Sam. reason or no renson. It 'pears like the squire nn them others Is stnyln a long time, don't 111" "Does so. That feller must 'a' had a neap of business with 'em. I'd give a punty to know whnt It Is." "Mebby wo'll know right soon now, for I see 'em a-comln." Presently tbe squire entered the room, followed closely by Jason Roberts and Hleks. The squire looked very solemn, and bis face wns almost sail. Illeks was quiet and Impassive, but Jnson wns smiling all over. The squire wulked to his seat, and Hicks followed nud snt near him. Neither of lliein spoke to anybody. Jason, however, stopped long enough to whisper a word to Sim. What tbat word was no oue knew, but they ull saw that It caused Sim to start and look wonderlngly around. The squire put ou his spectacles, took a paper from his pocket and unfolded lt. Then he looked abound over all those assembled nnd said Impressively. "1 have here a pnper that 1 am going to read, but firnt 1 want to say, In the presence of you all, that Sim Banks Is un Innocent man." A flutter of excitement succeeded these words, nnd two or three edged Of to Sim nnd extended blm tbelr hands to show Hint they were glud. Sum Morgan gave u yell nud threw his hat clear up to the celling, while Pap Sampson began a vigorous pounding on the floor with bis cane. Squire Beeson rapped on bis table to bring Pnp nud Sam to order. Then he proceeded to rend tbe paper he held In his hand. Tbat paper was the confession of Joseph Thompson, formerly known to III Jenkins and Jonathan Turner as Walte. but whose real nnme wns Robert Marchand. ne confessed In the presence of witnesses and under oath thin be flred the shut that killed Prank Shelton, alias Jnmes Melvln. He did It. he said, to avenge the honor of his sister and the life of bis brother, nud he bad uo regrets for the act. lie had tracked Shelton to that place, and be bad come tbere uuslrr the nnme of Walte for the purpose of killing him. After that be bad gone to the army under the name of Thompson, nnd fate hnd guided him to Sim Haul's, the mnn wbo was suspected of bis crime. When Sim enme home, he had come with him, knowing Sim would bo arrested and It would devolve ou blm lo clear blm. "So now," the squire concluded, "Sim Banks la discharged and stands before tbe world an Innocent and a free man." "An tbe happiest man tbls side of kingdom come." Pap Sampson cried, "an I'm next!" Then was Joy turned loose.

Bannard shouldered the principal work, as be had always done, and Yale had scored more points than Harvard, but toward the end of tho half Bannard began to look queer and let Sampson of Harvard right past htm with tbe ball, thereby losing a touchdown.

Bannard waa carried off the field. Well, It began to get dark, but wae oot so dark when the men lined uf again but tbat I could see Bannard ln position. But somehow be looked tall* er than usual, and tbere was a peculiai motion about him that I bad never noticed before. After a balf hour of tbe second half all one could see of tbe players was a lot of dark figures on a dark ground. Bannard's tall frame loomed up above the rest like the specter ef the Brocken. Great guns, how he did play I He waa at the front, at the "Sank, Io every scrimmage, la short, he was carrying the game far better than he had ever done before. Then came that celebrated run lo which be dodged six men and, unguard ed, carried the ball over the line twenty yards In front of his nearest follower for a touchdown. I watched to see blm kick bis goal, and what was my sur- frige te see another man do It for blm. asked what It meant and was told tbat he bad gone under again. The game now was tied. When the -pen lined up again, I watched for Bannard. Sure enough, he was there, and after tbe kickoff did the same astonishing work as before. He scored two touchdowns, but by this time It was so dark that 1 could not see who kicked them. However,* tbey both failed, oo account of the darkness, I suppose, leaving Tale ahead to the game. Before aoy more point* could be scored Bannard suddeoly disappeared from tbe field, and a substitute appeared lo his place, a slow, bungling fellow, wbo lost for his college enough points to put Harvard again eveo with Yale. There remained but five minutes of the three-quarters of an hour allowed for the balf. At the kickoff Bannard, wbo waa In his placo, Jumped fully tea feet, caught the ball aud ran wltb tt straight through the Harvard lines. It haa been said tbat no human belag could bave got through tbat Una as It was placed. Every gap was closed. One Harvard man swears that Bannard passed blm and as be seized the giant around the waist he seised air. Another declares that the mas wasn't Bannard at all, though he was enough like bim to deceive his own mother. Be tbls aa lt may. tbe game was won for Yale. I waited to see Bannard kick for goal, but waited ln vain. Somebody told me that It was so dark be couldn't see tbe posts and that tbo game wae won anyway for Yale. There was a hubbub among the players of both Bides, who were huddled In two groups bear the center of tbe gridiron. One of them. Harvard man, shouted "Foull" and I ,iw the Yale captain go to him and shake bis fist ln his face, but 1 could not hear what he aaid for tbe eom motion. Wbat do you suppose I saw In tbe death notices ot tbe oewspapcrs the next day—"Died, on Thursday, the 20th of November, Archibald Theodore Bannard, In the twentieth year ot his •ge." At wbnt time a day did bo die? No •ne knows; at least no ono will tell, though It Is generally eoncedesl that when he was carried off tbe field at tbe end of the first bnlf ho never went on It again.
