JOHN BUM "FAriOUS 34" VOTERS KNOl'KEl* OUT 11V JCnUE FOHIN AT NELSON. The Whole QsiasUon Hinted Upon the A.MUmenti Koll—That Mini,' by (Ily Ilclisrisl ts, bo No Giiisil—Story of the Trial, Well, tho agony is over, and the "famous 34" will not appear on tiie city voters' list, Mayor York and C. O'Brien were in attendance at tlie court, and what they Raw and heard is told in tlie .Miner of Tuesday, to wit and to tlie points The application of tlio now famous 31 of Slocan to have their names placed on the list of voters of tiiat city, was heard in chambers yesterday by his honor Judge Form and their application refused. The names of the applicants had been omitted by .Mayor Yoi;k in revising the votoTs' list, and on their behalf VV. A. Ualliher applied for an order from the countv court Judge, under section 12 of thc Municipal Elections Act, to whom appeal may ba taken, direct ins; that their names lw inserted. The refusal was based on tlio preliminary objections raised, 80 that the general question of tlie lights in joint ownership was not touched upon R. S. Lennie, who opposed the application, argued that though tlie ap plicants mav be property owners thev were not entitled to vote under ub- section (a) of section (i of tlie ait, un less they were also assessed owners on the assessment roll of the city. Tlie assessment roll used as a basis fir the lirst election was tlie assessment roll prepared by the provincial government. f.r th,* area now included in the city of Slocan; the council had u»t pre* | ni red one t-ub-equ.-iilly fir 1901, -t nd imbed hid no power to d" so. The names of thi) applicants nor being* on that roll.thnj could no: now ii * tho assessed owners and had tin I cum standi to be placed on the *>;.*<1 li.,t. Mr.Galliiicr contended (hat the municipality of Slocan had prepared Ull .-i*w!\-j.-i:iciit roll ill 1.101, and r-eur 'lit notices and had called a 0 itU'l i i revision. The previous year's roll, whieh had been prepared by tiie pro vincial government, could not be l i ken as the assessment roll of tho city of Sloean. The roll for 1902 was prepared in 1901, which, while illegal i'or the purpose of collecting taxes, was the proper and valid one for basing the voters' list for 1902 on. lie also contended lhat, these were tlie parties chargeable •*—Itti the'axes on the property, and could not nave been charged with the taxes because none had been levied. Mr Lennie's answer to this was that the list fu* 1908 coiihl not be a list for 1901, and that tlie only assessment roll for the city of Sloean was the provincial assessment roll. His honor in dismissing th,* application, said the ass ssinenr rill of thc provincial government vas. by virtue of the Slocan Incorporation Act, section 8, the roll upon which the assessed owners of laud were to vote. The aet also makes other provision fs;r preparing a list of voters. Section I of chapter 7 ol the act of 1900, amending section 0, chapter 8, provides that the assessment roll of a municipality tor thc vear preceding the holding of an election shall be the basis upon which the list ol person 8 entitled to vote shall be prepared. The question arises, what i*. tiie basis of the voters lis', for th.' coming elec lion ? It appeared 11 him that then- is only one answer, namely, the as Sessmeni roll of lhe year preceding, which in this case is the provincial government assessment roll, and the names had not been improperly omitted. Tho application is therefore dismissed. In this ease the 31 applicants had entered into an agreement to purchase two Iota assessed at $60 each, nnd on Nov. lis applied to be put on the voters' list as assessed owners li is calculated that at ths- usual rate of taxation, the amount ot taxes payable by each would be Ies* than one cent. Peter Schonberg applied to be put on the voters' list as a license holder. lie. had been an alien when the list wns prepared, but. had been natural i/.ed on December 21st. ln this case his honor held that the nanu* had been properly omitted from the list. Edward Haley also applied to be put on t!iu list as a property holder, but as all the realty he owned was a shack,his application was withdrawn by Mr. Galliher, «I so ill- While ilnl. - si I'liii'hiisi..

There, has been a report in circulation that tlio Neepawa group, Ten Mile, had shut down, but such Is not the case, nor i* there the slightest intention of tiro management to stop working. Things are looking too rosy just now for any such idea as that to be entertained. It is only about a month sine F.W. Polehamp- ton commenced work under his bond, but the. results have been marvelous. They may bo judged from the fact that Manager Sandiford stated Tuesday that he would ship four cars of ore this month, nnd that bv the time the bond was up, the property would have paid for itself out of the ore to be shipped The smelters have promised a ?7 rate on the ore. Sixty-five feet havo been driven on the ore chute where first encountered in tlie No. 2 workings, opening up a stupe of ore 2h feet wide, whloh will ship at not less than 80 oz. In the face of the drift is seven feet of mixed ore, .which is a most encouraging exposure, Just above the Enterprise wagon road is another opening, with six f.et of mineralized matter in sight Ten men are working in three shifts, running in 80 feet of a crosscut, so as to reach the main drift without having to pass over the dangerous slide, last week's experi enoos having proven that way too pei'Hiius.

One was the Ymir and thc other was the Bosun, New Denver. Tho latter property has had phenomenal success and is in shape to continue on a paying basis for years to come. An average of 100 tons a month has been the record of the mine, affording sufficient funds to cover all development, erect bunk house, oflices, blacksmith shops and ore houses at a general cost, of $25, • (XX); and also to pay lo the shareholders live per cent of a profit for the year just closed, Last month ISO tons of ore was shipped, being the highest record yet reached. Twenty tons was sent out Tuesday,and 40 tons more was ready to go out. The mine is in fine shape, having ore in all the main workings, in places it is 2i feet wide, but the average is ten inches. Thc average net returns from tlie ore, which all goes to Trail, is 120 oz silver and 45 per cent lead. With an ample equipment provided, the Bosun will pay heavy dividends In the future. VOU TilK I! l.M'Hl-'I'S. Editor Drill: Sir, —In the farming and ranching country of Wt stern Canada there are in anv largo stttds, Bocks and herds some of them containing as many as lOOJOto 12,003 head, the property ol'one man or firm. Thore arc also many studs, herds and flocks of from 50 to* 1UO0 head, In order to improve and maintain the qualitv of their stock, it seems accessary for the owners to buy annually pure-bred breeding males, and sometimes a few females. Heretofore a number of these have been bought yearly fr. m Cam-dinn breed* ns. and also from Americans, while many others have been purchased in Grent Britain. Not nearly as many pure bred males are purchased annually as --h mid be, because ranch s-rs have found it difficult to obtain what thev want at a price at' which they oonsldor ir would pay them to buy. Many, therefore, are now using range bred grade males. In Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces also, more pun- bred sires should be used than are at j present. lu I'l'derto enable the ranchers and other buyers to more readily obtain what thoy want, and to bring buyer and seller directly together, the Dominion department of agriculture decided to issue a directory of the Canadian breeders ofpurc*bred Btock in each province, arranged alphabet lealiv, giving suitable data concerning each stud, herd and flock. Cir- eulars were sent out to all the breed- Had n 31 orry Time. About a dozen mirth-seekers gathered at a certain bachelor's cabin for a good time, a few nights ago, and they certainly had it. They found a largo table heavily ladon with good things, and at each end was a turkey prepared iu tho best of style, whifo in the centre was a large dish of cranberry sauce. Then there was pie, cake, "puddin'"ai.d every thing that was good. After supper the table was cleared off and put away and dancing commenced lt was kept up for a few _oura and then another supper was prepared. Tho turkeys were finished and then the visitors went home, deciding that if ever they got a chance to go to a bachelor's cabin again thev would not overlook it.—Com. High Returns Fj*om Ilisniptosi. N. P. McNaught, of Silverton, has received his returns from the last shipment of ore from the Hampton, the figures being remarkably high. Four ions of the lot yielded 7C2^ oz to the ton and the balance 310 oz. For the three small shipments made by the Hampton last summer tlio average returns were 7.J0 oz per ton, making the banner record for the division. The Hampton not only paid for its new buildings and development last summer, but gave a dividend besides from its shipments. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL SIIOWINO MADE BT TIII3 IM VISION.

I guess I better go out this evenln an gather np a handful of men an tnke 'em over tbar tomorry an cut It for her." Mrs. Sampson's face brightened at once. She was one of those grent smiled plain people wbo can never bear to aee any one In trouble without wanting to move heaven and earth to relieve bis distress. "Are you shore you can git tbe men to go?" abe asked. "Lord, yesl Yes, slr-ee! Thar's Jo- fton Roberts.

"Lord, Mlrandy, you don't know tbem fellers shorelyl Charge a woman, tn a wldder woman at that, for belpbi oer out of a plncb! Land! You jest let Mary Mann give us a good dinner, an we'll bave all the pay we want We'll even go to tbe length of furnish- in our Jug of liquor If we can git a boy to go to the still after it, an I guess we aborely can." Pap Sampson waa busier tbat afternoon than be bad been for a Jong time. He bunted around till be found six good men to accompany blm to Mrs. Mann's farm. Tben be hunted up cradles, and Inst, but not least, be hunted a boy to go after a Jug of whisky. "Mought Jest as well try to git 'long witbout cradles as without a Jug of liquor," be aaid to himself as he pottered about getting everything In readiness. "A getherln without a Jug wouldn't be no getberlu at all." Pap was In great spirits the next nprnlng when he marshaled bis force ten the wheatfleld and got the cradles tw going. He hopped about as spry as a boy and gave orders like a general. He even grasped a cradle and prepared to lead the way with the first swath, but Jason took tbe cradle out of his bands and wouldn't let him. "No. Pop." Jnson said, "we can't bave that Thar's plenty of us /onager men bere. You jest set down In the shade somewhar an take It easy." Pap flared up with rescntmeut In an Instant "Me set down In tbe shade!" be cried. "Have you got a notion, Jason Roberta. tl.at I'm so no 'count an played out aa all tbat?" "Why, Lord, Pap. of course not!" Jason replied. "I didn't say nothln like that, did I?" "Nor you better not sny notbln like It If you don't want me to show yon in awuy you won't forglt that I ain't nigh played out. Mebby you don't li'lleve It. Jason Roberts, but If you feel like try in it I'll guarantee to whup you in two shakea of a sheep's tall till you won't know who you are." "Oh. that's all right, Pap. I ain't wantin to tight you." "Co'se you nln't, Jason, 'cause you nln't no fool, an yo*u know It ain't snfe to fool with me. Humph! Set down Id the shade an rest'. My land, Jason Huberts. I've cut more wheat In ray time an never grunted at It than you'll ever cut If you live to Ve a thousan' years old. Set down In the shade an rest! Lord! Slch talk makes me mad." Pap didn't sit down either. Though they denied blm the privilege of wielding a cradle, be found an opportunity to bnsy himself by putting the wheat soring lhat I'ap wns determined to do Bonietiiiug, Jnson encouraged blm iu it. "Lord!" hi* said, with a wink nt the othera. "1'iip'i* jest fell right In whnr be |iliiinl> belong!. Anybody knows enough to swing a cradle or bind up wheat but thar's pow'ful blamed few who kuow bow to set up a wheat shock so's It won't spile If It rains. Guess Pap's 'bout the only mnn here thnt can do It." This pleased Pap nnd fully reconciled blm to his work, nnd he snld nothing more nbout wnntlng to swing a cradle. In the afternoon he began to go to the shade pretty often, ninl each time he weut he tarried longer than be bad the time before. Finally Sam Morgan noticed this and Inconsiderately re- m 11 iked: "Guess you're glttln putty tired, ain't you. Pap?" "Tired! Me tired!" Pap exclaimed. "You beam me sny nny word 'bout belli tired, Sam Morgan?" "No, but i notice yon goln to tbe shmle a right smart more than you done this moruln." "What If you do? 'Tnln't 'cause I'm tired, but jest 'cause It's so mls'nble hot," The men hnd all come out to the simile to rest, nnd presently Sim Bnnks ciiine down across the field nnd Joined tbem. He had been working In his own field Just on the other side of a fence. He saluted them with: "Howdy, boys? Howdy, Pap?" "Howdy, Sim?" they snld In return. "How you glttln 'loug?" he asked. "Oh, all right I guess," Jason replied. "We'll git through before night If nothln happens." "I'm sorry you all had to cut this wheat," Sim said after a pause, "when I'd done agreed wltb Mls'us Mann thnt I'd do It I didn't reel that I ort to keep my promise, though, after all them things she's been a-sayln of late." "You done Jest right, Sim," Pap Sampson announced unhesitatingly, "au nobody cau't blame you a bit. When Mary Maun Interfered like she did to make trouble betwixt you an Loueesy, you wn'n't under no obligations to do notbln for ber no more, not a hnnd's turn." "'Tnln't thnt Php, thnt held me back from iloin as I'd agreed. Tnln't tbnt I bnte Mnry Mann ton bad to lift a finger for ber.

"Sim." be said reassuringly, "don't none of us b'lleve notbln ag'in you that Mary Mann bns told, nary a word. Nor, tot my part 1 hain't a-gwine to believe It not If she wns to sw'nr to It till Bhe was plumb black In the face." "No, but Loueesy b'lleves It."

Q. M. BROWN'S CAMPAIGN. Opp>arsi by Ur. Coiian Doyle, tlie Novelist—tola of Specclisiiiskliig. Mr. Conan Doyle's unsuccessful effort to attain political honors at the lost general election in Great Britain is of particular interest to Canadians by reason of the fact that the successful Liberal candidate was Mr. George M. Ill-own, son ot the late Hon. George Drown of Tnr*rsTiU>. Tho constituency was Central Edinburgh, and Mr. Uuyic was ine li.ei- al-Unionist candidate, lie is described ns highly popular in Edinburgh, where bo took his course in medicine and also obtained bis lirst success in literature. As a candidate the novelist made so many speeches that in one of the last of tbem he said: "I have talked and talked all the week till I am sick of hearing my own voice! I made ten speeches yesterday and havo to make as many moro to-day." On some days he began his speech-making beforo breakfast and kept it up till midnight. Ho spoke in tho streets and squares, in several breweries, in an opera house, in a "literary institute," in front of business establishments or workshops and wherever he could attract the notico of any group of listeners. Ho had to submit, too, to that torture known us "heckling" — or. in otber words, was resiuired to answer all those searching ciuestiqna — political, moral or metaphysical — which aleo* tors aro fond of putting to every candidate. On a number of occasions he had to confess that ho could not answer tlio "hecklers." "I really do not know," be said in one case. And: "I favor your suggestion; but don't see where tho money is to coino from." "We ought to go very slowly;" "I agree with you; but then—;" "I am not a jingo; yet, after all;" "I sa.ni a young politician;" und so on. In referring to British performances abroad he is reported as saying: "Why should we be so very aggressive! Wo should not rush into every foreign enterprise. We hnve been thc policeman of tbo world too long. There is not a dancing Dervish or a mad Mullah, or uuy kins! of religious fanatical lunatic, but Great Britain and Great Britain's army are sent to put him down. We never get any thanks for it. We do the hard and dirty work of the world, while tho other nations stand round and jeer at us." None of tho numerous speeches of the novelist could be called "eloquent." He did not at any time let his imagination loose. Ho never was in thc least extravagant, but always very much in earnest. As a speaker, too, he seemed to be wholly different from himself as a writer.

Copyright. 1901, by C. B. Lewis. i+OKW I am one of the sergeants in charge of the central police station nt night, nnd during tho several years I hnve held the position somo strange tblngs hnve occurred. One of them, and one thnt attracted general attention at the time, was the way the murderer of the Bolton family wnlked In on me one night. A family of five people named Boltou living In Missouri was slaughtered one ulght, and, though every effort was made to find the murderer, he got clean off. Two years later, one night at 11 o'clock, a tramp entered tbe station and queried of me: "If 1 will surrender myself, will you send out for a good luncheon? I have hnd nothing to ent for two dnys." "Whnt crime nre you guilty of?" I asked without much Interest "Murder. 1 nm the one whs» killed the Boltons out west." "Yes, I'll lock you up and give you a luncheon," 1 said, and I took blm down stairs, placed him In a cell and then ordered a lunch for him from a night- hawk wagon. I hardly believed blm guilty of any crime whatever, but bla face betrayed his hunger, and I felt Charitably Inclined. Before I went oft duty ln the morning I told tbe fellow thnt I should have him sent up as a vagrant, nud It was then thnt he told me his story tn such words that I could no longei doubt him. The result you know. He was the murderer sure enough, nnd he returned to Missouri to be tried and buug for his brutal crime. One night a year or so Inter as 1 was eating my lunch at midnight nn old womnn who ran a laundry entered In an excited state and nsked me If there was such a street In the city as Desoto. I told her there was. lt was a narrow, wretched street In the toughest quarter of the town. Tben she nsked me If there was a cheap hotel called the Lincoln House on the street Again I answered ln the ufllrmatlve. It was a resort of bad meu and bad been raided several times. "Now, let me tell you," she continued, growing more excited as she talked. "Soon after I went to bed tonight I had a dream of being on Desoto street located n conlynrd. n cooper shop, a heap of building material and other things which Hho bod seen lu her dreams. She described tbe hotel ns of brick with n green front She said there were eight bedrooms ou the second floor nnd that the doors nnd ether woodwork were painted n slate color.

He was fully dressed, and for a mluute afler tbey entered he gnve no sign of life. Then he sighed and groaned and tossed about as If In great pnln. There were tho stand and the glass and the whisky, and one had only to sniff at tbe contents of tbe glass to feel eure that It w.i.-s u cr*-*-* of drugging. A doctor was sent for, aud for the next ten hours he did uot leave the patient for a mluute. It was a close call for the guest, but he flually began to rally and was taken to a hospital. It was three or four days before be could tell to man, being easily provoked aud assailing the object of Its resentment with reckless fury.

His promotion from the first, however, was very rapid. In 17D4 he received his Lieutenant-Colonelcy. Between this date and his arrival in Canada as Lieutenant- General of the Canadian forces, in August, 1813, he had served in Holland under the Duke of York, in Egypt under Abercrombic, and in tho West Indies under Sir Eyre Coote.

Dec. 16— (Special)— Koine three and a half years ugo, the Plaltaville Echo, tho local ntTWOpaper, published quite an extended account of a most miraculous cure of a well kaown and highly respected lady, Mrs. J. Barnott, who had been extremely ill for years, and who claimed to be iserinanently cur- sd by tiie use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This good lady, according to her own statement, had been a physical wreck, with nervousness, rheumatism in the left arm, pains in the small of the buck, up the spinal column and back of the head, through the eyes, left side of the body and occasionally the right side. She had no appetite and could not. sleep at night. The \Ay sic inns had given her up and in this pitiful and hopeless condition, Dodd's Kidney Pills found her and completely restored her to good health without an ache or pain. Her appetite returned as bar general good health improved. Slus used in all but twelve boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pilla. This was in the spring of 18D8, and today Mrs. Barnett states positively and in the strongest oud most grateful terms that the cure Dodd's Kidney Pills brought her three and a half years ago was absolute and permanent ; that she is today stronger and better than she had been for ys*ars before taking the pills. Nothing could be moro convincing l*han this good womaa's plain and truthful statement, and it proves beyond doubt the lasting character of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Read Watchful Care to Prevent Overfilling and the Evils That Follow. All children at some period of ths-ir infancy are subjs*ct to indfgvstion. diarrhoea, or constipation. While the symptoms of these troubls's gri>atly differ, the origin of each is due to the sums* causs?—improper food or ovs*r- feeding. This results sometimes in diarrhoea, sometimes in constipation. In s-itlier the treatment is to remove the cause, and this can only bo K|>s-s*dily, safely and effectually done by the use of Baby's Own Tab- lots, a purely vegetable medicine guaranteed to contain no opiate nor any of the poisonous stuffs found in thc so-called soothing medicines. Mssthers who once use Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones never nf- tsT experiment wiih other medicines, and always speak of them in ths- highest terms. Mrs. Geo. B. Johnston, Wall street, Brockville, says : "I have been using Baby's Own Talv- lels for over a year, always keep them in the house and always find thorn satisfactory. If my little boy- two years of uge—ia troubled with con.-.lipation, Indigestion or diarrhoea, I give him tho talnlois unci he- is soon relieved. The tablets regulate the bowels anil do nsst cnuss- after const ipnl ion as many medicines do. 1 have also found llis'in henolis-- ial in teething." Baby's Own Tablets nre a certain cure for nil the minor ailms-nts of little ones such as colic, sour stom&ch, constipation, indigestion, diarrhoea, etc. Children take them readily, and crushed or dissolved in water ths-y can be given with good results to ths* youngest infant. 8old by druggists or sent post paid nt 2f> cents a box by addressing the Ur.

KDITOHIAL CIlOl'I'lNtiS. From a Icj-'il standpoint n(fairs in •connection with next week's municipal clr.ction nro in a precarious posi tion, but Trail is not one whit better off. Yet a little while and the provincial Conservatives will arise, in their .might to withstand Liberal aggres- ' elon, When that happy moment arrives the Independent*, will have a picnic* ____________ The customs revenue of tlie Domin- . $on for the month of December showed a total of £2,509,015, as against $2,312,410 for the same month last year, an increase of $258,004, For the six months ending December 31 the customs revenue was $15,804,092, compared with $14,013,051 for lhe •same time last year, or an increase of $1,251,640. Coast papers have it thnt a meeting ofthe members of the legislature op- , posed to Premier Dunsmuir will be Jield at New Westminster en the 15th Inst., to select a leader and outline a programme for tho approaching session. The choice of leader lies bo vtween E. V. Bodwell, Liberal, and Richard McBride, Conservative.- In view ofthe efforts being made to introduce party lines in the province, ft is hard to imagine a successful and perfect unification of forces against .Dunsmuir. Mining men agree in tlie opinion that tho day of the dry ore belt is here, because of the weakened condition of the lend and copper market. No prospect of disaster is to be (apprehended in this division, because ofthe eilicions nature of the ores. Not. a singlo property now working will close down and there are assurances that several new ones will start up in the spring. Mining men operat ing in thc camp assert that much capital will come this way next season. Dry ore properties arc growing jn demand and no likely prospect will be overlooked. .Prosperity in mining has not been , limited to Kootenay and Yale. For 1901 the Vancouver Island coal mines had an output of 1,331,350 tons, of •which 821,945 toii3 was sent abroad. Thore was also exported 4700 tons of coke. During the samo period the metalliferous mines of the Island shipped 17,733 tons of ore from Che- niainns, Ladysmith and Comox. ■Wh.sta tremendous advancement has been made in mining in British Columbia in the last five years, the whole province seemingly being ore- huge treasure vault. Who is he to guage the expansion and output for tho next five years, Go where you will and a more promising spot than British Columbia cannot be found on earth. Oa Jan. 31 the Liberals of tho province meet In Vancouver for the pur- poso of organization and to decide up on introducing party, lines in local politics. But the family is not altogether happy in their relations one to the other. A nasty little break has occurred at Nanaimo, and now the . Vancouver association has seen lit to enter a protest against, certain uc ^tlons of the provincial executive relative to the coming convention. Senator Templeman, as president, has -been forced to issue a strong letter in reply, which cannot bo considered encouraging. Then thero is thc lire* ' pressible Joe Martin to reckon in the gamo, and he is not to bo downed. Tho situation presages trouble for the politiclaua. DRILL POINTS.
