RENBELL & C ARE CONSOLIDATED Robert Wood and Associates Transfer Mining Properties TO JOINT STOCK COMPANY Description of the Several Claims Held in Boundary. West Fork and Penticton Districts. JLI1 Sperry Company, ��td. ���������t%%2ri Robert Wood, of Greenwood, and others associated with him, have merged their mining properties into a company called the Vancouver-Boundary Creek Development and Mining- company, limited, with a capital of $500,000 divided into ���; 2,000,000 shares of 25 cents each. The company has many valuable interests, including- the Sally group on the West Fork from which two carloads were , recently shipped to the local sm el ter. The ore is very high grade, running as high as $500 to the .ton. Below is a brief description of the holdings of the company: In the Penticton camp the company has the Okanagan, Klondyke, Torpedo and Penticton claims. The principal claim���the Okanagan ������situated on the east side of Okanagan lake, little over half a mile from Penticton wharf, runs 200 feet into the lake and 1,300 feet up the bank 1,300; has a true fissure lead between granite walls, averaging so far about 3>_ feet wide. The ore is iron and copper sulphides, carrying gold, silver;'copper and antimony, but chiefly in gold; Samples of this ore have been tested in different parts of the world and the average so far has beeen about $20. A car load was shipped to the Tacoma smelter some years ago and 200-pound lots and half-ton lots have been shipped to other smelters for tests. There has been spent on this claim about $10,000 cash. A tunnel was run run into the bluff from the water's edge about 90 feet, on the lead, and about 40'feet in from the south of the tunel a shaft was sunk which is now down to the 100-foot level and which is timbered up with a double compartment. It is equipped with a 35-horse_ power boiler, hoist, pump, cars, etc., cook house, wharf, blacksmith shop and ore bins. The Klondyke is an extension of the ="���*: Okanagan claim inland and the Torpedo wraps around the west end and catches 1,000 feet more of the extension of the lead under the lake. The Penticton is about \x/2 miles up Penticton creek, east of the Okanagan claim, and has a contact lead .of about 10 feet wide of iron sulphides between lime and granite. This claim crosses Penticton creek a short distance,covering a splendid water power capable of supplying power for all the claims in this camp. WEST FORK OF KETTLE RIVER. In this district the company has the Rob Roy, Sally, Highland Queen, Excelsior, Maple Leaf No. 2, and half interest in the Rosalie. In this group the Rob Roy and Sally are the most promising as the leads carry pay- streaks of higher grade ore than any other claims the company owns, The Rob Roy has about $700 worth of work done on it, composed. of shafts and crosscuts. This claim has three distinct parallel leads, all of which may merge into one at depth. The main one of these leads average about 10 feet wide on the surface and. has stringers of high grade ore running through it assaying as high as 300 per ton. The Sally is south of the Rob Roy and has a true fissure galena lead running at right angles to the lead running north and south on the Rob Roy and crosses the same on the top of the hill. This claim has about $600 worth of work done on it composed of crosscuts, and from one of these crosscuts a tunnel is being run on the lead into the mountain; this tunnel is now in pay ore; the lead being about four feet wide with a pay streak from four to six inches wide which assays $200 to the ton. The balance of the lead being yellow quartz carrying from $5 to $10 per ton and will concentrate. The Highland Queen joins the Rob Roy lead on the.south and east���-catches the big Rob Roy lead on the south end of the Rob Roy and also catches the Sally lead east of the Sally, both of these .leads have been opened by crosscuts on the Highland Queen. The Excelsior joins the Highland Queen and Sally on the south and has a quartz lead parallel to the Sally lead caarying pretty fair values. Only one assessment has been done on it. The Maple Leaf No. 2, is a copper proposition further up Beaver creek from which some very nice samples ��f copper ore were obtained, but very little work has been done on this claim yet. The Rosalie, in which the company. Owns a half interest, is a gold-quartz claim from which assays have been got from $10to $35 per ton.

Stationery, "Wallpaper, Office Supplies���-pbone.v:& N.34 In this camp the company has the Kingston claim, the Boston and the Houstin���three adjoining claims. ��� The Kingston, the principal claim in the group, has about $500 worth of work done on it, showing up an arsenical iron lead about five feet wide carrying gold values from $10 to $15 per ton. It has a parallel quartz lead upon which some cross-cutting has been done, showing yellow quartz with considerable galeua with gold tellurides in streaks through it. Assay3 from pieces of this quartz have run up as high as $30. The Boston which lies alongside of the Kingston has a sugar-quartz lead which comes up alongside of the diorite dyke; about $300 worth of work has been done on this claim, crosscutting and sinking on the lead. If, by sinking, the quartz lead is found to go down, it will be a valuable property as values as high as $125 have been obtained in gold which appears to come from the gold tellurides sprinkled through the quartz in spots. The Houstin is a claim lying south of the two upon which signs of the arsenical iron lead of the Kingston and quartz lead of the Boston can be traced. CENTRAl. CAMP. In this camp the company owns the City of Armstrong, Eugene, Boundary Fraction, No. 9 and No. 15, 1-8 interest in the St. Maurice, 1-3 interest in New Jack of Spades, 2-3 interest in the Excelsior, aud the water rights of the camp. The most valuable of these properties are the New Jack of Spades and the Excelsior, which, with the City of Armstrong, Eugene, Boundary Frac- The tramway agreement by-law was considered in committee by the council on Monday night and its several clauses discussed, Several amendments suggested by the council were ac.(-*Oti*ci **��� +Vi_�� nnmnaxnv ��rVii_ w^f^ re*1 presented at the meeting by in. ��_ Shaw. A special meeting of the council will be held on Friday afternoon at + o'clock and it is expected if no hitch occurs in the deliberations that the bylaw will receive its third reading on. Monday next. Ten days later the ratepayers will have an opportunity ta say whether they want the tramway or ��� not. Under the terms of the agreement active, bonafide and continuous construction must be begin within- 30 days of 'the passage of the by-law., The company further agree to expend $5,000 in work on the tramway before, the $5,000 on deposit is returned to them. Nothing further of importance was considered by the council. Beath & Orok offered to trade trucks for wagon used under sprinkling cart and the matter was referred to fire and light committee. W.J.Snodgrass.in a letter to the council7stated he was called to.Oregon. .. on business, and asked that no action be taken in reference to disposal of dirty water at laundry until his return.' Dr. Schon,. medical health officer of health, and Sydney M. Johnson,the city engineer were present in reference to this matter. Dr. Schon stated that the only method he could suggest for for abating the nuisance was to purify the water by a series of tanksiand' chemicals. After some discussion it was decided to notify the proprietors'of' the steam laundry that their premises' must be placed in a sanitary condition within 30 days and under the supervision of the medical officer of health' and city engineer. . ' * The Phoenix council submitted the following resolution and asked for its endorsation which was given, y-Whereas,--ho-courts of assize --are���or= have ever been held in the Boundary district, although they are held; in all other sections of the province. And whereas, the principal' centres of population in the Boundary district are 370 miles distant by rail from Kam-' loops, the most accessible point in- the county of Yale where assizes are held. And whereas, the Boundary district* includes four incorporated cities, one of them being third in size in the interior, aud a population far surpassing- that of many other districts where- assizes are held: And whereas,-numerous and important criminal cases, involving a large number of witnesses, having come up in the Boundary districi, and are about to be heard at the, coming assizes: And whereas, it would be a crushing burden to those interested in these cases to make them go with their witnesses and lawyers to the court at Kamloops, 370 miles away, or even to Nelson 120 miles away: Therefore, the municipal council of the corporation of the City of Phoenix earnestly requests the provincial government to hold a sitting of the assizes in the Boundary district in May, at the same time that assizes are held in. all other parts of the proyince. j The health department presented bills of $93 from Kenneth McKenzie and $51 from T. McNaughton for services as quarantine officers until Monday when quarantine against Phoenix was raised. The amounts were ordered paid. On the recommendation of police commissioners tenders were called for uniforms for police officers. (Conclnded On Second Pag-e.) Poultry and good steaks always ou hand at the Gem restaurant. 9 THE'. GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES. April 25, 190-E. PASSED AT OTTAWA. Crow's Nest Southern Carried at- Ottawa with Safeguards. Ottawa, April 18.���The Crow's Nest Southern bill passed the railway committee without a dissenting voice and without amendment today. Hon. Clifford Sifton announced the following aggreement between the government and the Coal company, the Crows Nest 'and Southerri'company: First.���That neither by action of the Coal company in regard to prices at which coal or coke shall be sold, nor by' the action of the railway company respecting cost of transportation, whether by discriminating rebates or otherwise, nor by the action of ' both, such companies either acting by themselves alone or in connection with the agencies south of the international boundary line, shall coal or coke, either or both, be sold for consumption outside of Canada at prices which discriminate unfairly against consumers in Canada. Second���If at any time, upon satisfactory evidence being given to the governor-in-council, he shall be of the opinion that the spirit of this agreement is being violated, that and in every such case and when and so often as such violation occurs the governor- general-in-council may impose upon the coal company such restrictions and conditions respecting sale and supplies of coal and coke and transportation thereof to or for the use of consumers outside of Canada for such length of time and within such limits as he may think fit with a view to prevent such unfair discrimination. Third.���The order, in council imposing such restrictions and conditions shall be published in the Canada Gazette, and if, after such publication, the coal company sells or supplies coal or coke ��� to the railway company or transports coal or coke contrary to the t-cFSli. ��$ ?V"ch order, the company so Violating theiefttis Qf SUch order shall pay; arid hereby c6vei_a_it-! to pay the governhietit as liquidatof) damages for such a breach, the Sii-ft of S3 tor each and every tdh of coal so sold or supplied or transported, the ainout of such damages to be recovered by 'action of the actoin.of the attorney general of Canada ajw-behalf of the government in any-cOurt of competent jurisdiction. Fourth.���The reason for requiring said companies to enter into this agreement being that at present it is believed by the government that there is no effective and satisfactory competition by other coal and coke producers in Canada; it is agreed that when by order of the governor-in-council it is deemed that by the opening of other coal mines of manufacture of coke by others,, such effective and satisfactory competition has arisen, then the agreement shall terminate with respect to coal or coke, or both, according to the nature of "suchcompetition. Sifton accepted the suggestion that -theJast clause should_be_amended,__pro_- viding that instead of the agreement of termination it should only be suspended during the continuance of effective and satisfactory competition. MINING MAN MARRIED. R. A. Brown of Grand Forks Joins the ���.������'���*$.-Benedicts. R, A. Brown, of Sunset and Volcanic fame, and Mrs. Mader, well known in this city where both the contracting parties have resided for years, stole a march on their friends last Wednesday and went over to Nelson, Wash., where they were quietly married in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony took place at the residence of Mrs. Huff and was witnessed by only a few friends, the party returning immediately afterward to Grand Forks, where they will continue to reside. The many friends of the happy couple unite in wishing them a long and prosperous journey down life's walk together.���Grand Forks Gazette. EHRLICH-FISHER. Further particulars regarding the marriage of two of Greenwood's mokt popular young people is given by the Spokance Chronicle which says: At 8 o'clock last evening the wedding of Miss Julia Fisher and Julius Ehrlich was solemnized, the ceremony being performed under a floral Qbower of pink and white rosese and ferns, the floral arch being supported by Gothic arches of the same design. Judge H. L. Kennan performed the civil marriage and the Hebrew ceremony was performed by Louis Reubens. The marriage took place ln the newly finished reception hall at Davenport's, where a wedding supper was served after the marriage. The decorations were in keeping with the Italian renaissance finishing of the hall, the palms, potted plants and flowers.forming a pretty contrast to the rich detail in old ivory in which the woodwork is finished. Between the gold capped Corinthian columns were banked palms, with smaller plants in the foreground, and flowers. The table was decorated with candelabra and mirrors and was banked with pink and white roses. Potted plants and ferns were arranged around thesides of the room. Miss Dorothea Fisher was bridesmaid and Fred Fisher was the best man. The bride wore white mousse- line de sole and carried lilies of the valley. Miss Fisher wore a pink silk organdie. Mr. and Mrs. Erhlich left today for a two months' visit to California and other coast states. They will make their future home at Greenwood. Those present last evening were: Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Fisher of Greenwood, B. C, Mr and Mrs. I.

Considerable work has been done cross-cutting and sinking on all of them /showing the capping of large ore bodies carrying gold and copper and if the gold and copper values increase with depth' as they have on the Washington and L,one Star and Lexington, which are on the same contact leads, they will prove to be very valuable. The. Lexington, which joins the New Jack of Spades was bought by the Majestic compaay for $40,COp and they are working within 300 feet of tne New Jack of Spades line on very fair copper ore which is improving with depth. The Co_np..ny owns the water rights on the only creek running through the camp which will be valuable for concentrating purposes-with a ditch about three-quarters of a mile long, iron pipes and Pelton wheel in running order, upon which they intend in the spring putting in a sawmill. The Company also intends buying or bonding the other third in the Excelsior and the two-thirds in the New Jack of Spades as soon as they have the funds in the treasury to do so. DEADWOOD DAMP. In this camp the Company owns the Dixie and.half int.erestinjyieMid^ght. The Dixie lies a,bout one mile South of the Mother Lode and the Gold Bug No. 2 lies between it and the Morrison: It has a big body of iron sulphides carrying some copper and small gold values. Only two assessments have been done on it yet, but with more development work it may prove to be a valuable claim. :. The Midnight is South-East of the Buckhorn company's property, about half a mile���has two quartz leads on it ���one abc ut four feet and the other three feet. Although low grade it might also prove with depth to be a valuable claim. LONG LAKE CAMP. In this camp the Company has the Golden Eagle and the Electric, half interest in the North Star and half interest in the Lake View. The.Golden Eagle and the North Star are on the Gold Drop leads which runs parallel to the Jewel, Anchor and Enterprise lead. The North Star is a very promising claim and carries high values in gold and silver tellurides but as the surface has been disturbed and brokeg.'it.n.eeds depth. About $5,000 has been spent in development work aid. as soon as the Company has funds they will start sinking a deep shaft as it warrants the expenditure of money. The Lake View is on the West side of the lake, ft has had about $2,- 000 expended on it and although it is high grade it is. a segregated vein and requires plenty of capital to develop it. The Electric is slso on the West side of Long Lake, it has a small lead but very good grade. It has a 90 foot tunnel on the lead. GREENWOOD CAMP. The Company has in this camp a nine-sixteenth interest in the Bank of England and nine-sixteenth interest in the Bank of England Fraction. This 99*********************9 9 9 ! X F. J.

WILL THEY GET THE BONUS ? . The proposition to build the Greenwood-Phoenix tramway appears to have gotten down to the question of 'whether Greenwood will go into debt to the tune of $50,000, to secure the building of the line. That is, the tramway promoters, who own the electric light franchise, now ask outright for $50,000, instead of the guarantee of five per cent interest on an investment pf $100,- 000, for 20 years, 'which was the arrangement when they secured the franchise, and which was part of the original agreement. . Itis not surprising that the taxpayers are trying to thinkafew times before consenting to be saddled with this burden, even though the object is a good one. Kaslo almost unanimously voted to give the proposed smelter a bonus of $50,000 in the shape of debentures, but this is not quite a parallel case, as KasiQ WOflld reap' almost the entire benefit of having* a smelter located there. ' There can b<_ 39 *?��bt b��t tha*. the, construcUda Of tha pi-o^dsed" Ifamway would be of j, the greatest benefit to Phoenix, in many ways, aflfl it is to be hoped that the voters of Gi*ee_iwood will help the project along, and not baulk at the $50,000 proposltiofi. It would, of course, be a good t.hing for the tramway people to have the citizens of Greenwood put up half the cost of building the line in advance.������ It saves the owners of the franchise going into their pockets just that much. We hope the road will be built.���Phoenix Pioneer. ��ft��#e#$ft#��#ft��*����****����tf��#ft I 9 9 9 * 9' 9' 9 9 9 9 9 9 ��. 9 *' 9 9 9 9 9 9 9- 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 . 9 9 9 9 9 9 ��.. 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 You wiirsa^jffi&^y^ ing, -jreur grpcerie-. $f$m Z13' We have cut down price*-, id bed-rock and. ate',prepared to' meet all competition.

Under the present circumstances the citizens of Greenwood cannot afford to allow the oppportunity of improving its position to slip by.

After a season of donbt there is now a strong probability that the council and the Tramway company will agree upon an agremeent and that the ratepayers will have an opportunity to express an opinion as to the desirability of securing the tramway upon the terms offered. There will doubtless be a few opponents to the measure. In every community there are persons who object to bonuses under every and all circumstances and are so wedded to this principle that they are ready to turn down every enterprise that carries a bonus with it. Theoretically the opponents of a bonus are correct, and it would be a good thing if there were a general law prohibiting,the same, but in the absence of such a law and in the face of the fact that rival towns are always prepared to pay handsomely for having enterprises tributary to them, it would be folly for Greenwood to sacrifice its future in a futile effort to maintain a principle. To quote the language of the street: "Greenwood has no 'dead immortal cinch' on this district," and in order to maintain its supremacy its citizens "-must-consent-to followprevailing.prac- tices and pay for the efforts that are being made to centralize trade here. As Grover Cleveland once stated. "It is a condition that confronts us not a theory." It might be the highest-kind of patriotism to stand by the principle of antagonism to bonuses while some other city gets the smelter but it would be bad business. Regarding the agreement itself, it is a much better bargain than that made a year ago. The ratepayers then sanctioned a guarantee of S per cent interest on $100,000 for 20 years. It has been suggested that the tramway would be a paying concern and consequently the city would not be called upon to pay this interest but there was absolutely no protection to the city in the old agreement. The tramway might���as other companies have invariably done���water the stock and qond the road for a high figure���and the earnings of the road would be absorbed in paying interest oh this bonded indebtedness. The interest and sinking fund on $40,000 or 850,000 is less than the interest on $100,000, so that it can be taken for granted that the present arrangement is cheaper for the city than the other. Besides an effert is being made to associate the present anterprise with another which, if carried into effect, will ensure another large industry for the city and which will ensure a large and profitable business for the tramway. The scheme under consideration is mutually advantageous to the city and the company. It is the means of drawing the trade of surrounding During the past two weeks the inquisitive census enumerator has been going from house to house, prying into people's affairs. Armed with authority from Dominion parliament, he asked all manner of questions from the color of your hair to the amount of your overdraft in the bank. There was nothing important in his questioning. He was simply carrying out his instructions and a non-compliance with his request landed you in the police court with the prospects of a heavy penalty. The practical utility of all the information desired by the census enumerators is open to question. A big increase in population offers food for political spell-binders who regale the public with what the party in power has accomplished; an unfavorable census give the other fellow an equal opportunity to roast his opponent. The census furnish a wealth of statistics that are torted and distorted to furnish padding for many an empty speech. But how much is the country benefitted by knowing that there are so many people of English, Sctottish, Irish or Chinese descent, that so many belong to the Roman Catholic church and so many are Seventh Day Advents or that one man is the owner of hundreds of acres while another lives in a rented house? It is true that the census taking has provoked several guessing schemes, some of a questionable nature, but will it put much money in the pockets of the people who pay the bills? The restrictions placed by the Do minion government in the granting of the Crow'sNest Southern charter, while they afford ample protection to the mining industry do not hamper the company in their operations. That the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia have accomplished something may be seen by the bills introduced in the legislature by the attorney-general. The amendments to the municipal act and thc small debts act recommended by the Associated Boards are included therein.

We regret that the communication cannot be published because, "Another Ratepayer" neglected to observe one of the rules of all newspaper offices, that the writer's name must accompany a communication, not ncesssarily for publication but as an earnest of bona fides.

The record of Boundary shipments, given elsewhere in this issue is a remarkable tribute to the mineral wealth of the Boundary district. Practically there are ..only two groups of regular shipping mines, the Knob Hill and Ironsides and the Mother Lode. There tonnage exceeds that of Rossland camp although the latter is several years older in^development;" The-dis-; trict also enjoys the distinct advantage of having the ores smelted at home, thus giving the district the bulk of the benefits to be derived from the operations of our mines. This will be further enhanced by the early erection of converters at the Granby and Greenwood smelters. From a public standpoint the fact that the ores are low grade is a distinct advantage. The large output necessary to produce a sufficient revenue to pay* dividends on the money invested demands the employment o many men, and low grade ore to be treated economically must be smelted near the point of production. When one considers that four years ago,there was nothing 'but development holes on the Knob Hill and .Ironsides and that now they are shipping over 1,2,000 tons daily to their own smelter and that other mines give promise of equal development, the prospects of the district are indeed bright. t.

" The bill authorizes the borrowing of a sum not exceeding $5,- 000,000 to bear 31-2 per cent, interest, the money so borrowed to be used in subsidizing any or all of the following railways, and also a bridge across the the "Fraser, railways to receive four thousand dollars per mile. 1. For a railway from the coast in the neighbourhood of English Bluff, near Point Roberts, via Chilliwhack and Hope, to Midway, Boundary Creek district, approximately three hundred and thirty miles. 2. For a railway from the present terminus of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway to the northern end of Vancouver island, approximately two hnndred ��� and forty miles. "'- 3. For a railway from Rock Creek to Vernon to connect with the Shuswap & Okanagan railway, approximately one hundred and twenty-five miles. ���'4. For a railway from the coast at .Kilimat, to Hazel ton, approximately 'one hundred miles. , ���i .5. Fpr a railway from Fort Steel to Golden,- approximately one hundred and fifty miles. . -Section 15 of the .bill-reads: "It shall be lawful for the lieutenant-governor- in-council to cause to be built a bridge across the Fraser riler in the neighborhood of New "Westminster, at a cost not exceeeing five hundred thousand dollars, for the purposes of railway, vehicular and passenger traffic, and for the purposes aforesa.d to enter 'into contracts for the construction of. the - said bridge as may be deemed expedient, subject to submitting same at public competition, and after construction to. enter into any agreements that the lieutenant-povernor .in-council may deem expedient in connection with the user of said bridge by any railway or other companies, persons or firms, with power to fix a tariff of tolls." ' - Section 10 readi: "The lieutenant- governor.in-council may enter into all agreements with any persons or company undertaking the construction of any railway to which a subsidy is hereby attached, which may be necessary ^^j^onyjenlentjor the due construction _ and operation of such railway7 which agreements shall, in every instance, in addition to other matter a therein provided for, contain the following provisions, viz: ��� (a) That unless work ��� is commenced on the railways mentioned in subjections'a, b,*c;:datid'e 6-- section 8 hereof on or before the first day of July, 1902, and is duly and diligently prosecuted to the satisfaction of- the lieut- ernant-governor-in-council, all right and claim to the aforesaid subsidy granted by this act shall be cancelled arid forfeited. (b) That the aforesaid subsidy shall not be payable until the railway is completed and.in running order,'to the satisfaction of the lieutenant.-gover- nor-in-council, nor until security or guarantees, satisfactory to the lieut- enant-governor-in-cou-icil, is desposited for the continuous maintenance and operation of the railway, and no subsidy shall be payable or.paid until after such completion, and the giving of such security or guarantee. (c) That four per cent per annum of the gross earnings of the railway shall be paid to the province, and such sums ���of four per cent shall be a first charge upon sudh grbss^earnings. (d) Th_it the railway obtaining the benefit of any such subsidy shall be constructed wholly and as a continuous line within the province. (e) That the lieutenant-governor-in- council shall have absolute control of the freight and passenger rates or the charges by the railway and that, notwithstanding in the event of the railway being or becoming subject to the jurisdiction of the Dominion government, the same shall be deemed a. contract between the province and the company. (f) That the railway may be acquired at any time by the province at a valuation to be determined by arbitration under the provisions of arbitration act, provided, however, that in considering the valuation no some shall be entertained by the arbitrators for the franchise belonging to the company. (g) That the conditions of this section may be varied at any time, and from, time to time; and as often as the' lieu-' tenant-governor-in-council may deem advisable, always provided that control of the subject matters referred to in this section by the government of British Columbia be not abrogated. (h) That in the event of a charter being granted by the Dominion government for a line of railway over a parallelto the route praposed in this act, that the foregoing conditions shall be assumed and carried out by the company so incorporated as a contract and obligation of said company prior to any other charge thereon.

A'i-rt--.1 !--..ile settled on the ���������;'������ ���rurea of eve io: who witnessed the I modei''.. with ���!������_ possible exception of the occupanc of .hi: chair. Messrs. Turner aud Brown occupy seats at the head of the government and opposition rows respectively, and each, in a manner, typify the past of their respective parties. Mr. Turner is still smart as a boy on his foot, but not 'one wit more so than the member for New Westminster. They usually enter the chamber from opposite ends and sides, and a comparison of their sprightliness has often served to while away the quarter hour of formalities at the opening of the house, in the press seats. Mr. Brown is more urbane and perhaps easier molified " than in the famous days when he relied on his "Winchester," but he is none less handsome. In a beauty shbw.hewould make close running, even with his white locks, for many a younger man A CROWNING GLORY. Hon. W. C. Wells, the chief commissioner of lands and works, always creates an impression of being the adjutant of the government forces. A barrack square definition of an adjutant is "the pack-horse of the battalion," and its aptness will be appreciated by all who know how unsparingly Mr. Wells gives his time and energies to his * big department. "Easily the best chief commisioner we ever had,"' one member expressed it, and he voiced a popular sentiment. When he speaks he goes directly to the heart of his subject, tells exactly what he will do and precisely what he thinks and sits down. And this, in the opinion of those who. sit in the little gallery above, is his "crowning glory. If the energy of Smith Curtis, the member for Rossland, could be valu- ated on an electrical basis his voltage would run close to the million mark. He is animation personified. Where he finds time to 'study all the measures which are on '{J-q order paper, collate his facts is the H.ar\[���_ of the^ ordinar*-; membsr-v Hs can grind out amend- *t.6n.s without limit while you wait, and it does not matter to him how many times he is called to order by the speaker. He keeps right on. The Rossland member is gifted with a singular bright mind and quick apprehension. He is, beside, perhaps, the most omnivorous worker in the house, as well as one of its best if perhaps its most loquacious debaters. The premier is his anthithesis. He speaks seldom and briefly, and rarely without the printed page before him. Mr. Dunsmuir entered politics too late to ever be a successful speaker. He knows it and does not try the experiment. *Hi�� LOCAL CHESTERFIELD *IH3 'A. G.' "Directly -opposite the member for Rc>sslat.dtfS__-ith Curtis) sits the attor- ney=g-eneral, Hoa. D. M. Eberts. He -has long- enjoyed a reputation for in- -dolence -which has earned him the ���-sobriquet -"Bberts the Unready," but tuere is little of it in evidence during -the session. Measures great and small are watched by him through all their stages, from their introduction until -"Shall the bill pass?" falls from the lips of the speaker. Others may retire to lobbies to enjoy a pipe and a chat. 5>ttt there is no such immunity from labor for the A. G. However he has liis relaxation. The A. G. tells a story Of the other ministers, Hon. R. McBride is the Chesterfield. His boyish face surmounted'by a wealth of curly gray hair give* him an air of distinction which wili'be a valuable asset should he justify the predictions of his friends, and become a force in politics of the province. Hon. Mr. Prentice, the last of the sextette, speaks rarely, his portfolio requiring less attention on-the floor of the house than the others. .-..-������ ��� ��� ��� Mr. Hawthornwaite, the iabor representative and successor to Ralph Smith, has taken a very modest part in the debates, but his speeches, especially that on the' amendment to the Coal Mines Regulation bill, stamp him as an able successor to Mr. Smith. He is a young man, bright and alert, with a pleasing manner, and gives a close attention to his duties which augurs well for his usefulness in subsequent assemblies. HONEY-TIPPED BARS. W. W. B. Mclnnes, his colleague from Nanaimo, established a reptua- tion in the fsderal acena which at once gave him a strong place in the more circumscribed limits of the provinciai one. Nature was kind to Mr.McInnes, for although she cut him off with a very short frame, she endowed him with a ringing resonant voice which at once challenges attention. He launches his javelins with a laughytoo, which robs them of their sting, and he meets a retort with the same enjoyment evidently as he gives one. The worst thing his opponents can say is that he is a demagogue and talks to the gal- leries.but those who do not are a rarity in the house. Dennis Murphy, on the government side, is a youn:-. man of whom great things are expected." He is a verv clovi-r speaker and his abilities are leavened with a good sense which prevent him employing-his oratory to the weariness of the house. Mir- Pooley, from. Esquimalt. is a typical Tory squire-. He has fought his battles, and dreads night sessions. The first hour after prayers he dedicates, to a comfortable nap, and the next: hour to a perusal of Harper's. Once in a while he wakes up and treat-, the house tp a rattling speech which reminds tbe old timers of the day when he was president of the executive. THB ONtY "-HARRY." The most unconventional man in the ; house is H. Dallas Helmcken. He i treats the proceedings as purely infor- i mal and devoid of any great significance. It is not many years ago that he punctuated one of his speeches at a. night session by* looking up quickly and informing the speaker, "Ohl There's a bat!" without changing bis tone of voice. When John Houston, of Nelson, breaks out he is more "-'wild and wolly," but not more unconventional.' To the left of the speaker sits, a little knot of men, the remnants of tlie old Provincial party who give an independent subport to the government, and render excellent service to their constituencies meanwhile. The group consists of Messrs.. Munro, Kidd, Neill and Greeii. The first three are alrno'st clerical in their manner, but the de- sci iption does not apply to Mr. Green. None of them worry the house with set speeches,but when they speak they express .themselves with force, and are always listened towith great deference. A JOKE HATCHER ��� In the back row of the government Joseph Hunter hatches jokes for consumption during dull hours. He delivers his thrusts to all and sundiy, and in a quaint way that tickles - his opponent, the Atlin Aberdotxian, James Stables. Mr.'Hayward, of JSsquimalt, is always looked to when agricultural topics are up for, consideration, and to him the country owes the agriculi ural com-- mittee. The mining interests ai?e left to Messrs Taylor, Rogers the two Smiths, Stables and7 Green, Houston, Fulton and Ellison. The latter adds to these duties those of governnjgnt Whip. The Delta sends a level-headed man to represen t it in John Oliver, sage, wit, and sometimes orator.. He generally manages to epitomize arguments in a clinching way that suggests that the last word has been said. Messrs. Garden and Tatlow and Gilmour are always heard from when Vancouver interests are at stake, and Messrs. McPhillips and Hall look after Victoria closely together with the other two representatives. Messrs. Mounce and Dickie, who sit at the end of the government row, are also two hard working members who do not manifest their interest in public affairs by oratory only.

The London shareholders in the Le Roi are evidencing their dissatisfaction with Whittaker Wright's management of the company's affairs. The recent decision of the directors to. postpone the declaration of a dividend caused a sharp decline in the stock; This, however, soon righted itself, but a perfect, f usilade of protesting letters is still being kept up through the press. , One of the shareholders in writing to the Financial Times says: "1 have this morning received the statement of the directors' of the Le Roi Mining Company Limited, informing the shareholders of their inability to declare an interim dividend, and. further, that they.are unable to liquidate their indebtedness to the Bank of Montreal, This.looked all very fine on I paper to fresh shareholders induced to I buy the shares by the grand promises of substantial dividends, but to those I of us who have listened more than once I to these unfulfilled promises the latest {circular is ominous.

Mr. Price who is a brother of the president of both companies, stated to a Times representative that Mr. "Wilson, the smelter superintendent, -would return from Quebec in a few ���days when a definite announcement regarding the smelter would be made. He could say, however, that active *work on the company's mines would be resumed at an early date. The following are the ore shipments from Boundary mines to April 17th inclusive: 1900.

C -J During 17 days of April the Greenwood smelter treated 6545 tons of ore or an average of 385 tons per "Day. The highest run for the month was 417,tons of ore which in a 225 ton furnace easily beats all previous records. THE "WATERLOO. The S-stamp mill at the Waterloo, at Camp McKinney is not in operation as has been currently reported by the lo- 1 cal press. Superintendent A. W. Boyd left camp for Spokane nearly two weeks ���. since when the mine was closed down. .Aneffort to raise sufficient funds to continue development, by means of vol- ..untary subscription has not been received favorably by shareholders. It is now up to the directors to decide upon a new method, to finance the mine���which from authorative infor- matioa never looked better than at the .time of its closing down. THE WINNIPEG. "RichardPlewman, of Rossland, sec- ' retary of the Winnipeg Mines, limited, -was in the city last last Saturday to meet Superintendent Nick Tregear. llr. Plewman expressed satisfaction over recent development that is bringing the Winnipeg again into prominence. The winze, sunk 011 the No. 2 ��� vein at the 300-foot level, was nearing a* depth of 100 feet, the whole workings "being in ore. At further depth it ia ��xpectcd that the No. 1 vein, to the s6uth,which, from., present appearance, '. is dipping in the direction of the No. was decided to levy a further assessment of two cents per share. The assessment is "payable within 20 days from date of levy. The proceeds are to g*o towards the construction of a spur from the Deadwood camp branch and additional equipment for the mine. With the amount to be raised, some $20,000, the directors hope to place the mine on a permanent shipping basis. It is believed here, though not corrobo- iated, that a contract for the treatment of the ore' has been made with the smelting department of the British Columbia' Copper company.--=-���==-_=-.^-i__ H. M, Keefer has promoted a second company to operate and acquire placer leases on tributary streams of Rock creek. The name of the undertaking is the Amalgamated Rock Creek Placer l_.eases, limited, with a capitalization of $10,000 divided into 1,000 shares of 1ha par value of $10 per share. Thia c >mpany has taken over several leases on Baker creek and the South'if^k of Rock creek and intends- to o^jt-i, <#the claims by the "booming" system. The from $750 to $600 and the other assessments stood. J. W. Powell appealed again��t the assessment on the Hotel Armstrong and other property, but when it was explained that the taxation would fall on only 33 1-3 per cent of the assessed value of improvements he withdrew his objection. Mr.' Powell's real estate will be afEected by a 10 per cent reduction which the court made on all Government street lots.
