After a strong- legal fight the city council have decided to settle the case of Rendell & Co. vs. City by accepting the plaintiffs' offer of $5,000. The suit has been before the court for nearly a year. It arose in connection with the grading of Copper aud Greenwood streets last year. When Rendell & Co. were about to build their handsome three-story block on the corner they secured the street grades from the then city ��� engineer and erected the building. Afterwards the streets were graded aud the buildings was left about eighteen inches above grade. Unable to secure any satisfaction or redress from the council, Rendell & Co. took the matter to the courts. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Martin and a jury awarded $6,500 damages. Afterwards Mr. Justice Martin confirmed the award. The city instructed E. -V. Bodwell. Q.C., to appeal from this decision. In the meantime ��� negotiations were opened with Mr. Ralph Smailes, manager of Rendell & Go., and he made a definite offer to accept $5,000 each side.to pay its costsy" At Monday night's meeting this offer offer was accepted and the money will be paid as soon as funds are available. All legal proceedings will be stopped. Messrs. .Hallet & Shaw..yepresented_RendeH'&. Co. in the" w:A~jm-jm*M'--ri - -- B"ii_tyor "Hardy presided at the -meeting of the council and' Aid.

THREE CRIMINAL CASES Defendaets Are Found Guilty���Result of the County Court Trials Held In ___ Greenwood. The Most Successful Social Event of - the Year. ~- The most hospitable hosts, a magnificent dancing hall, good music and a jolly crowd combined to make the Mother Kode dance the most pleasant -and successful social event of the year. The visitors were there nearly two hundred strong. They came from Midway, Phoenix, Greenwood and the different mining camps. Tliey went from'Greenwood by trainsyin rigs and on horseback. The night was one of Egyptian darkness, the road is not the best and consequently some of those who preferred a wagon road to a railway had some thrilling experiences. One party got on the Copper camp road and they were searching forthe Mother Lode in the vicinitv of the King., Solomon mine. But everybody got there and everybody had a good time. The immense dining hall was gaily decorated with flags and evergreens. Jlr. and Mrs. Keffer, who assisted the committee in welcoming the guests, were ideal hosts. Prof. Kauffmann's orchestra furnished the tftusic, and under the capable direction of Mr. Mc- Kinuoh, the floor manager, the floor was kept busy until three in the morning. Tasty refreshments were served by C. S. Bratton, the proprietor of the mine boarding house. T^e committee to whom credit is due for the success of the evening were A. F. H. Meyer, 'the honorary secretary, John Angrig- non, George D. Brice, T..A. Milde, C. S. Bratton and Harry Clark. The ball was given to celebrate the opening of the new dining hall at the in\ne, The building is the largest of l^s kind in the country. It will con-,- fortably se_it over 200 people.. There was a long list of cases in the County Court held in the city hall Monday and Tuesday of this week, necessitating His Honor.Judge Spinks' presence in the city for' a day longer than was at 'first expected. Three criminal cases tried under the Speedy Trials Act took up considerable time. The criminal cases coming under the Speedy Trials Act were Regina vs. H/bucke's. This case arose out of the seizure of 'the Granite and Banner milf, for- infringment of the Customs Act by Officer Sidley and by Sheriff Pembertpn for debt. Certain parts of the machinery were purchased by the defendant, Louekes,; from Hayes.super- intendent. of the Granite and Banner. He was arrested on the charge of purchasing and receiving these goods. A large number of persons were examined. Liouckes was found guilty by the judge and sentenced to six months imprisonment, Black for. the Grown; Shawfdi Louckes.7 Doc Everett was arrested last winter for breaking into -the .the St, Louis hotel.'.-..He.-, "escaped-" from., the Greenwood, jail.

He tosk stock in"certain idle rumors that Mr. Fletcher was not coming back; quit work, rushed to a lawyer and placed a* 4ein on the building and lot pn-account of an . unfinished contract. The evidence showed further that Reid had been -paid more than was coming to him by Mr. Fletcher. Judgment was given in favor of Mr. Fletcher. J. -P. McLeod for Fletcher. J7 R. C.

Another Meeting to Discuss Its Location and General Construction. If attention is any indication of merit, then the West Fork country must indeed be rich in prospective wealth. In several weeks it has been the topic of discussion on the street and at public meetings. Last Thursday the mayor called a public meeting ��� to discuss the building of the West Fork road. There was a lai ge attendance. Mr. Thurston was present and he made as strong a case as possible from his point of view. Robt. Wood,' Mayor Hardy, Jas. Kerr, J. A.

The result of all the discussion aud all the telegraphing and correspondence with the government will be that a good wagon road will be built this year and everybody, including Mr. Thruston, will be satisfied. It is quite possible that the country will not be irretrievably ruined if Mr. Thruston does not get his way in all things. He is indeed an exceptiona1 man who is always right and there is a strong probability that road making is not one of the things which Mr. Thurston can do with his usual dash aud finish. DR. R.

Vi.nNI_SI.AY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1900. THE WEST FORK ROAD. A fire limit by-law should be passed in the city. Reasonable time should be given before the by-law is enforced but through the by-law prospective builders should be notified that after a certain date only fire-proof buildings may be built within the business area. The enforcement of a fire by-law will not only afford protection to those already owning buildings but will be a distinct advantage to any who will build under the by-law. The saving on the cost of insurance on a brick building will pay for it in less than twenty years. Insurance on frame buildings is over seven per cent., while that on brick is about three per cent. Unless a by-law is passed there is a possibility that insurance will be made so high as to be practically prohibitive. If wooden buildings were allowed on the vacant lots in the business portion insurance companies might refuse to take risks in the city. PROFESSIONAL CARDS.

Everyone acquainted with the West Fork country, is fully convinced that it is rich in mineral resources and that one of the first things necessary in its development is a wag-on road. It is more than a one man country or a one mine country, and consequently it would be a great mistake to allow money appropriated to be expended on other than a good wagon road. * Every one appreciates Mr.Thruston's enterprise and no one can quarrel with him because, as he acknowledges, his was actuated by purely selfish motives -iri anything he did iu coauectlou with the construction of the wagon road. But others not having the large interests he has are wise in supporting the construction of a permanent wagon road for the district. Mr. Thruston's plan was objectionable from many points of view. In the first place the wagon road, such as he proposed building, would be useless excepting for a few months in the year. Those best acquainted with the district maintain that the stream would be impassable excepting for a few months and consequently the large number of prospectors and those de- I*"velo:ping"properties^on-"a="small=-scale would be handicapped in bringing in*" supplies for many months in the year. Individually their interests are not so large nor so important as those of Mr. Thruston, but in the aggregate their interests and their trade are of greater importance to Greenwood than those of any one man. There are many prospectors in that country, also pre-emptors. who are rich in prospective wealth but poor in ready cash. After all they are the backbone of any country. They are not afraid of hard work and they should have the preference in public undertakings. Mr. Thruston was selfish. His interests demanded a road built in a hurry by the cheapest l^bor that could be secured. His intention was to sub-let contracts to outsiders who, when the road was completed, would move elsewhere taking with them the money earned. The prospector would expend every dollar in the country and even if the road did cost more, the benefit to the country would be greater. The Greenwood Board of Trade were fully justified in taking the action they did in connection with this matter. The very fact that the attention of the government was directed to the importance of the West Fork country and to the necessity of a good wagon road was in a great measure due to the representations of the board and the individual members thereof and when there was any possibility of their efforts to secure a good wagon road being frustrated by Mr. Thruston's enthusiasm, the members of the board were fully justified in exerting their infiuence towards having the government carry out its expressed intention of building a good wagon road up the West Fork this year no matter what the cost may be. The meeting- Friday night while it EDITORIAL, NOTES. The Greenwood Miner is the authority for the statement that Mr. Thruston would have carried his point in favor of the low water road if he. had not worn high-water panties, which shows the extreme danger of being clothed in improper regalia when dealing with matters of great public moment.

Senator Mills at Bothwell: Iti 1896 the Liberal party triumphed in spite of these unfair methods of warfare. We have endeavored to undo the wrongs that have been done, as we promised we would. But the senate came to the rescue of our political opponents, and we have in some measure failed in consequence. Now we have been in power for four years. What have we accomplished? Under our regime, and, let me add, in consequence of our policy," the commerce of the country, has grown in that time by many millions of dollars greater than in the eighteen years^that preceded it. We^have-" endeavored-to ^promote the settlement of the Territories, and in this -we have had very great success. We have endeavored to secure the good will and co-operation of of ihe British people and government in furthering the interests of the people of Canada, and in this way we have had a success that has never been approached at any time by our political opponents. The country has enjoyed unexampled prosperity. Many of its waste places have been occupied. "Its great natural resources have been developed, and so the prosperity under the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been immeasurably greater than under any Conservative government that pre- cededed it; yet I look forward during next parliament, which will be returned, I doubt not, to support us, for even greater prosperity than that which has recently been secured. The successes of the past four years are an earnest of this. The progress and prosperity of the country_jduring our regime have been unexampled in its history. The industry of its population is augmenting their income to the extent of many millions each year over that which preceded, and if the settlement of the country, the increased area brought under cultivation, the increased amount of capital invested in mining industries and the growth of commerce continue, there can be no abatement in that material progress so well begun. No government in any country has either earned or deserved the good will and active support of the people more undoubtedly than the ministry of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and in my opinion theref is. no reason to believe that that support will be withheld.

The author of the "Public School History of Canada." states in his closing pages; that over against the progress and development that the-Dominion has made since the Confederation, "must be placed the tendency of so many of our young men to leave Canada for a home in the United States, the increasing difficulty our farmers experience to make farming pay, and the want of a large foreign market for our manufactures." While this was very true three or four j-cars ago under the old Tory regime it is very far from the truth today. Our 3'oung men are no longer leaving Canada to find homes in the United States, for the outlook hero is as bright here as can be found anywhere. Farmers are no longer experiencing a difficulty to make farming pay; the improved method taught under government supervision and the improved facilities for marketing products���better transportation and lower rates���together with vastly increased morkets, domestic and foreign, have made the outlook for, the farmer very different from what it was a'half a decade ago; and all of this is directly attributable to the improved business methods of the present administration. Lastly our manufactures are rapidly obtaining recognition in the markets of the world, thanks to the improved facilities offered bv thc present government, while thc general confidence and commercial stability which has been engendered by the common-sense and consistent course pursued by the government, has placed Canadian manufacturers in a position to make the mosl of their opportunities. It is evident that oui- school books will soon need revising. GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE SlORE OF. The average rate of increose in Canada's total trade from 1878 to 1806 was S3,700,000 per annum,the increase from 1896 to 1900, four years of Liberal administration, was at the rate of $35,- 500,000, or almost ten times greater. Moreover the rate is steadily increasing year by year, and there is every possible indication that a continuance of, the present policy will mean a continuance of this splendid growth:. The ��� Tories, however, threatenVto .ciiange- all this, if they arc g-iven the chance, and by returning to the old. tariff conditions of 1896; return to the old trade "conditions" of stagnation and uncertainty.. The country is scarcely likely to give them the opportunity. I/IVING IN. GLASS HOUSES. Hugh John Macdonald ��� apparently imagines either that the people in the east take no interest in western-poli tics or that they have marvellously, short memorias. He has been holding up his hands in a paroxysm, of holy horror over alleged irregularities in West Huron and, Brockville, irregularities which the Tories have failed to prove though. last year they spent $10,000 of the public money in a vain effort to ferret out evidence. Hugh John appears to ha.ve forgotten his "own'electionin-Wiunipeg-in 1896 where although 6,000 ballot would have been sufficient, according' to the regular p ractice 10,000 were printed; at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, however, all the bal- lo ts had been used, and the polls had to be temporarily closed until more c ould be printed. The total vote polled f or both candidates ��was 5,796. Up- w ards of 4,000 ballots which were not found in the ballot box when the votes were counted were used in the contest. These are facts proved under oath, and not costing $10,000 to discover, either. DIFFERS FROM-SIR ORACI/E. The stern log ic of events is about th only thing that' will, cor-Vihce Sire Charles Tupper of error. In spite of all indications to the contrary it seems impossible at present to convince him 'hat there is anything practicable in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's idea of colonial representation in the imperial councils, but here is an expression of opinion from, one of the "first half dozen statesmen of thc empire "���and even Sir Charles Tupper will not claim higher credentials than that���"I wish the colonies would clamor more for representation in the councils of the empire; if they did now I believe they would get it, and it is in'the highest interests of the mother country that they should get it. The particular way in which they get it is, in my judgment, a minor point." Of course it is unfortunate that Sir Charles does not agree with this view, but there have been other occasions where Sir Charles has withdrew his benigan approbation and with about as much effect as was produced by the famous curse of the Archbishop of Rhemes ��� "nobody seemed one penny the worse."

Whoever he is he will have charge of the construction of all roads arid trails of this section, including the road to Franklin camp. Mr. Stoess will have absolute chatfje of the erection of both the bridges across the river at Coldmbia, and the bridge over the North Fork at some point near Eagle City.

Lequime & Powers Will Wove; Their Sash and Door FACTORY FROM MIDWAY To Greenwood���Decided to Be More Centrally Located to Secure Trade. WIU Discontinue In Midway. Greenwood is to have another sash' and door factory. . Messrs. Lequime & Powers have decided to remove their factory from Midway to Greenwood; so as to be nearer" the larger local market for their manufactures and more centrally located to secure the trade of ot-ier Boundary towns. When adding the sash and door factory to their. large saw injjlat .Midway last year they were urged, to: establish it at Greenwood - instead but their faith in Midway as a good place was"stillstrong nough to influence them in favor of at town; where they had for years eeti in the saw^ mill 'business. At t, however, they have been corn- led by the force of circumstances to agnize that Greenwood offers far ter inducements to the manufac- er, so they have determined, though ctantly, to transfer their operate this town, anticipating that r enterprise will meet with an ade- ,te return' rather than result in ...hilar continued disappointment to ! j, &x.t hitherto attending their efforts in .. /'lis connection. Midway sash and door factory building opefations. So they, have at last concluded to give up struggling against the ad vera conditions that seem to be inseparable "from their Midway enterprises and to try w.hat a change of surroundings and conditions will bring to them. "With things improving in and around Greenwood there is little dpiibt as to either, the wisdom or the timeliness : of their move to this progressive town. That good luck may attend their efforts here . will be the hearty wish of those who appreciate persistent energy and enterprise. ft POWERFUL LOCOMOTIVE Eor the Columbia and Western to be Used Between Rossland and Trail.

Not- _thstanding the handicap -against iem involved in their factory being Situate nine or ten _ miles from Green- rood they were able to meet local com- stition and to secure orders for,the ipply of doors" and windows forbuild- Igs then being erected in this town, Imong. others the Hotel Armstrong. may therefore be expected that in the "future, being on the spot, they will be much more successful than when less advantageously situated. At any rate they may be relied upon to do their utmost to deserve success ; here and doubtless will meet with it. *��� They are now negotiating for a site -. near the Greenwood Electric company's ���works and haveobtained an~option~on .land, owned by Mr. Jas. Sutherlnd, . -. that is along the railway and is in ��� other respects suited to the require- :meats of such an industry. No definite arrangements have yet .been made by the firm as to the future ���of their Midway saw mill which is one <of the largest and best equipped mills iin the district.. There is a possibility tfhat it will be acquired by the Yale- Columbia, company, but if no better opening occur for its disposal Messrs. Lequime & Powers will move it across the line where they have a site for it in a promising locality. It is to be regretted that the pluck the members of the firm have displayed in struggling for years to make a success of their business at Midway has only involved ttthem in heavy loss. It is seven years ice Mr. Powers brought in his first iili and located it on the north jf Kettle river at what is now . n of Midway. A year later one the Messrs. Manly offered him 'special inducements to remove it to the '.then embryo town of Grand Forks, but '.true to his first choice, he declined to fio so. During the years that have since passed ill luck has attended his steps. Floods in the Kettle river swept awaj' tine mill booms and logs. Later when the mill was placed on Boundary creek, just above Midway, fire destroyed first a lot of logs and afterwards the mill itself and with it, about 300,000 feet of sawn lumber. Nothing daunted the firm put in a big mill on Kettle river and spent a lot of money on improvements to enable them to hold their logs during high water, but here new difficulties met them in the shape of a. general stagnation in business throughout the district and the consequent almost total cessation of From Trail to Rossland a train with a 130 ton cargo is considered the capacity of any oae of the locomotives heretofore in use on that grade. But a new, engine has been provided which it is said will haul nearly three times as much (312 tons) over the same route. The engine is of an entirely new type and is especially designed for hauling heavy IbaCs over heavy, grades. It is a slow locomotive,and over such a road as that between this and the smelter city is not capable of going faster than four miles per hour drawing such a load. Running light its speed is not greater than ten.iniles atfhour.- Locomotive No. Ill is said;to be the first.of its type in this country. It \yas designed and built by the Lima Locomotive and Machine company of Lima, Ohio, and was built this year. Whereas formerly all engines have been driven by steam cylinders, whose pistons are connected with the driving wheels of great diameter, the new type 'has done away with both the forward large cylinder and driving wheel. The engine is carried on two trolleys of four wheels apiece. The tinder is similarly supported. These wheels are unconnected and are all the same size, a little over three feet in diameter. On the right hand size of the engine every other wheel, or the right hand forward wheel of each trolley, is furnished with a gearing inside its outer circumference. A shaft running forward and backward from a point- by the cab is fitted-with cog wheels fitting the gearing on the trolley wheels.. As the shaft revolves so these latter are turned. , * The motive power of the shaft is supplied by three smallytriple expansion cylinders,on Jhejright of , the* cabU' which act vertically, similarly, in.fact, in direction to marine . engine. A couple of. eccentrics get over the dead point, acting in the same way as the waighted side of the driving wheels on the ordinary locomotives. "All this gearing on-oue side of the engine tends to make it lopsided, but this is made up for by placing the boiler and" furnace more to the left of the engine. It may be gathered from the description that locomotive No. Ill is not a thing of beauty, but as it does double the work with the same coal conssmp- tion and with half the labor, it is possible that it may be a joy forever. Capt. Troup says that if this locomo- motive is found to be successful the intention is to-order three others. One of these will be placed on the route between0 Grand Forks aad Phoenix.��� Cascade Record. right up to the mountain summits, 1,- 000 feet high, was water washed gravel He had worked within a radius of 100 miles from Dawson and wherever he went he found this gravel. No evidence occurs that glacial action is the cause of the present alluvial deposit, but apparently at some remote period the whole country was low lying. At this period the auiferous deposits occurred, and subsequently a great volcanic upheavel took place; thus the golden sands are found at the,mountain tops, as well as in the creeks. Mr. Bauer says that although the country is essentially a placer diggings, the Stewart, Klondike and some of the larger rivers offer a big field for profitable investment in dredging. In fact, there' was no impediment whatever, that he could see, to the successful operation of dredging plants. The rivers were uniform; there was no great rise or fall; no floods: none of the disadvantages of the Fraser river dredging, and he thought, dredging would be a great Klondike enterprise in the future and a very profitable one. i!ttt!IIi!!!

According to the latest information in their possession, the gold commissioner's office at Dawson estimate that royalty will be paid on'$i6,000,000 of Klondike gold this season. This news is brought from Dawson by W. A. Bauer. C. _3._- who has just arrived in Vancouver from the Golden North. Mr. Bauer adds that it is generally understood throughout the Klondike cauntry that the actual clean up will run up to $8,000,000 or 810,000,000 more, or in round figures, $25,000,000 but royalty will not be paid on more than $16,000,000. Mr. Bauer has been surveying in the Klondike on a very extensive scale, for the British American and other big corporations, and he comes back enamored of Canada's magnificent birthright. Breaking through , his customary professional reserve, Mr. Bauer made the following statement: "I have been in mining camps all my life, pretty much all over the world, but I never was anywhere where I saw such evidence of the unlimited wealth, such vast possibilities, such' magnificent opportunities for, the investment of capital." In speaking generally of the country, Mr. Bauer spoke first of its geological formation, the formation being what geologists would call mica schist.

Two teams are engaged hauling ore from the City of Paris mine-to the Grand. JTorks smelter. They . take r about ten tons every other day. r Mr. D. Moore, ore 'buyer fori.the ,,:;�� '-Trail smelter, is reported to .have .-.-'' sampled the Gold Drop mine, in Green- .}' wood camp, last *week. It is hoped - that work will soon be resumed at-;this '" Two four-horse teams are hauling ore from the Athelstan mine, in Wellington camp, to the Winnipeg spur whence it is shipped to the smelter. A bunk house has been erected at this mine so that the men do not now have to live at the Winnipeg, as they previously had to do. 7 * The ore bins at the Old Ironsides and Victoria mines are being roofed over. Similar, protection from snow is to be provided at the Knob Hill bunkers. .A-commenceme"nt is shortly to be made with the work of erecting more cottages for men employed on the Miner-Graves mines and haying families. i ���-������^���~Itis;.expected.-.tha.t_th.e-.B_..C.^min.eores "������shipments.will this month total about 2,000 tons, possibly a little more. The July ' tonnage was 2,000 tons and August 1,500 tons. Shipping was interfered with during August by alterations and repairs to the main shaft iii connection with the installation of a safety platform cage, which necessitated a stoppage of hoisting for more than a fortnight: next month and the big hoist is due for delivery on the cars at Sherbrobke, Quebec, in a few days. ' ' The Canadian Rand Drill company and Jenckes Machine company, represented by R. P. Williams, have received orders for four compressors the same size as the L<e Roi. Three are for the Dominion Coal company and the other is for the B. A.-C, They have also received an order for a hoist for the Hall mines and a 12x15 hoistingen- gine. Mr. Williams has sold the Cariboo mine what is known as baby drills. These are to be used exclusively in the mine.;. They weigh only 100 pounds and can be handled by one man. The Jenckes Machine company have just closed an order for 100 of these drills for the Le Roi mine. '.. The British Columbia Copper company have decided to sink the main shaft of their Mother Lode mine, near Greenwood, to the 500-foot level. The present depth is 325 feet. This decision .is of importance, since there is no shaft in the Boundary district at present down to the 500-foot level. The nearest to that depth is the No. 2 shaft at the Old Ironsides mine, iu Greenwood camp. This new development at the Mother Lode will be pushed on with, so as to get the work as far forward as possiblejb.efor^hee^^of the current year, ,by which time new and larger plant will have been installed at the mine and stoping ore to supply the company's smelter, how approaching completion, have been undertaken on a comparatively large scale. A raise is being made from the drift at. .the ���"80-foot level of the R. Bell, in Summit camp. As this drift runs into the hill depth is gained, so at the raise it is more than 100 feet from the surface. Some nice ore was met with in the drift but it was not continuous. Ore of line quality occurs in the old workings to connect with whicli the raise is being made, so it is expected that this shoot will be encountered in the raise. Tlie 10-drill duplex cross compound condensing Rand compressor, recently received at the Knob Hill mine, was installed last week. It will be started at work in the course of a few days. It has all modern improvements so will doubtless amply realize the most sanguine expectations of the enterprising company that has added this fine nmcliine to the comparatively large plant it already possessed. A 4x15 feet air receiver was hauled up to the mine from Greenwood last Saturday. The British!'. Columbia Copper company will shortly have more power at its Mother Lode mine than will there be at any other mine in the Boundary district, at least until other mines are supplied with more boilers. There are now at the mine two 100-horse power and two 80-horse power boilers, and there are two more Sp-horse power to arrive shortly.
