The mild fi.e weather, while favoring like movements of prospectors and survey- Kirs who are now in the field, has seriously |j)-it.ei'_eied with the freighting of the ore from the camp. The road to Trail ia now bo deeply cut up (down to the dirt) by the l.ougli locks on tbe heavy ore teams that, it [has had to be disused and nothing is now Igoiug out along it. Both the War Eagle ��������� and tbe Le Roi have had to lay off a few of ['their men, but both are actively miuing in l,full force. Both mines aro looking to be 1 veritable bonanzas, the bottom ofthe shaft fin the Le-Koi being all in solid ore. On the face.of the west' drift at the War I'.Eiigle three parties of drillers are at work, I from which the width of tho body of ore can lhe inferred. Tbe new tunnel or the 112 Ifoot level is'in 30 feet and follows the crop- fping of the lead. Mr. Clark, the contractor for freighting ?th_ War Eagle ore, has changed camp from [Trail Landing to the Indian reservation J just-on-the other- side- of��������� the-interiialiomil |v)buundai y. Twelve1 teams will begin again this week freighting direct to Northport. Tlie necessity for the lied Mountain teailroad becomes impressed more pointedly [on the minds.of people in this camp and Uve are all glad to know, that in spite 01 the Refl'ons of our own member of Parliament to [wreck the best project ever put forward for the development of this camp, Mr. Corbin "has made all arrangements to commence Jwork next month and- push it through to [completion in one season. The War Eagle [alone could uow at this moment furnish , him with.100 tons daily. At the Josie a strike of two feet of rich I ore is reported. The Nickel Plate is widening out and yielding $70 to 8120 ore, ja_lifying its J earned reputation as one of the bu_L properties, in camp. At the O. K. quite a new development I has taken place. About'thirty foot from I the end.of the tunnel a-big chamber has |> been blown ��������� out, and has yielded an immense block of free gold quartz. An.up- ! raise is being driven in two feet of this ore and the mill is running continuously stamp- ���������** ing out the gold. The work is well done land a huge frame of corduroys has-been * formed in the chamber to catch the refuse from the upraise. Very heavy stulls have beeu put in, for John Y. Cole being a practical miner himself, is.not the man to risk a brother, miners life when money and skill can prevent it. ��������� At the I XL, adjoining the O. K., Mr, I. , N. Knight collected some of -the rock and pounded out in a mortar S312 in half a day. He is now shipping ore. Mr. Thos. F.-. Wren has bought-a-half- interest in the Number One on RedMoun- ,tain from William Springer. The house, office and warehouse for Mr. [,W. S.

Considerable petty thieving has beeu going on here of late���������one party lost a set, of harness, another a set of wbipplo-trees and ho cu. It is about time this sort of thing is stopped. It has gone 611'without interruption for a few years aud appears to be steadily on the increase. Ranchers and others know when they leave their homes that on their return there will be something missing nud on that accourt rarely leave their places. It is no uncommon occurrence to have the larder completely cleaned out. One poor fellow (who was pretty hard pressed, ioo) put. all of his ready mouey into provisions to last him through the winter. He had occasion to go to a neighbors house and was away probably two hours. On his return his door was open and everything in the shape of grub carried away besides some clothing. Now this is what I call "hard lines." There is work enough in tlie valley for a constable and Ave ought to have one. Why, besides white people we have, about 200 Siwashes who are constantly on the trot from one camp to another, and who are, I should say, the most cultus, good-for- nothing lot of Indians iu the West. They wont work and are ever ready to do a "neat little job" by stealing anything that comes handy.- They own : a few bands of small cayuBes, which are frequently changing hands,' for our Kootenay River Indian has developed a great taste for "seveu-up," much to his. detriment. Ranchers are now studying the various seed catalogues. A few. weeks and they will be busy in the fields again. Talking about ranchers ���������how is it that more settlers do not come in here ? Perhaps it is not generally known that there are large tracts pf. government land fit for cultivation, waiting for.the enterprising agriculturist. It has been thought all' along that the Dyking Compauy took in all the land that was of any value, but that is not so. There is almost unlimited scope in this district tor real live tillers of the soil���������and what soil! Mr. Rykert has raised cabbages of enormous size, some of tbem going over fifty pounds each. One in particular, which I remember Mr. Marks, of Nelson, taking along with him, weighed 53 pounds, and yet after that there are howlers who say we have uo soil up here. In my travels round the valley I have come across some splendid pieces of land, which with just a little work would be veritable gardens of Eden. Mr. Wigens is up from Duck Creek and reports that they, have to discontinue work on the Lizard shaft on account of water. He is ordering a diamond drill for use on the President. . ,. .. . ... p.cted to run 1000 ounces to the ton at ieast, so says Wharton. The Slocau Star has to drive about 50 feet further before striking the ledge in the lower tunnel. It is confidently expected that ii good body of ore will be struck there,.in' wbicli case a concentrator will be erected some time this summer. A strike of four feet of solid ore has been made on the Yakima, a claim lyiug in a basin east of the Twin Lake Basin. This claim, with others, was bonded some time since by Mr. Glynn of Seattle, and it is au open secret that tlie owners of the concentrator have an option, to take up Mr. Glynn's bond at a profit. Mr. Mathews, the representative of the Omaha & Grant Smeiter, has- recently taken a lease of the Lucky Jim Group, comprising six claims. It is the seeoud lease he has taken, tbe first being the Keno and shows that the smelter people are not afraid to go,outside'their own business to engage in mining in our camp. At, the Broken Hill Proprietory mine in South Australia, which is famous throughout the world, 10,487 tons ot ore were treated iii one week'. The result was 807 tons of lend, 224,07'": ounces of silver. If tbe same quantity of Kooteuay ore was treated, the result would be more like 7000 tons of lead aud a million ounces of silver. It is only on account of lack of transportation facilities chat such a quantity or more is not put out. . John Fritsch who was injured some time ago in the Lizard mine, is improving rapidly. For the last 24 hours we have had a fine chinook, arid the river is now very unsafe even for, pedestrians..

Kirk I will ask you to print the, enclosed clipping,, taken from lhe report of a speech delivered by Mr. Laurier to an immense audience at Montreal oh the 24.il day of January, 1895: "The fate has been trembling in the scale. .We do not know exactly what is to take.place;; but we know this: That the question debated today in Ottawa is not whether there is cause adequate or not, to go to the country, but the only thing today debated in Ottawa is whether or not it would be to the advantage of the Conservative party to have a dissolution now or to have the elections later on. If the Conservative paitysee that it is for their advantage to go to the country immediately, then they will not be at a loss to invent a pretence for dissolving parliament. In 1891 they obtained a dissolution from His Excellency Lord Stanley by actual DECEIT AND FALSEHOOD. Yes, deceit and falsehood. They represented to Lord Stanley, the representative of Her Majesty" the Queen, that/ they had obtained from Mr. lilaine, the secretary of state in Mr. ILu-rison's cabinet, an invitation to reopen negotiations for the renewal of the old reciprocity treaty of 1854. sIt was a i'alse,- liood, for which they had afterwards to eat humble pie at , Washington. When Sir Charles Tapper went to Washington a few months later he had to meet Mr. Blaine and he had to admit to Mr. Blaine that indeed the.statement of the Canadian government was not true; that "M rTBla i tieThaclliie Va rg;i veir^iTclr "airifi^ vita-ion.., They'obtained the dissolution in 1891 011 a falsehood, but with that falsehood they snatched a verdict from the people of Canada." ...I have read the criticism ofthe weekly edition of the Empire upon this speech andalso the, great speech of Mr. Forster a few days later, in which he replied to Mr.' Laurier.

Tt.is not expressive, of .the feeling of.all the ..'people, of Nelson, and it is only right that that should be publicly stated. You .shy, "Parliament has been pestered witli petitions." We understand it to be the right of British subjects to approach Parliament by way of petition regarding any matter which they deem fit. This is a part of our liberty and one of the guardians of peace. Your characterisation of the petitions as composed of "cheek and cant," and the petitioners as- "bigots," "fanatics" 'and "without common sense, whose opinion is not worth a rap on the matter," is an unjust one. You say''it interferes with the liberty of the subject because itjprevent. his doing what he likes ou Sunday." He has not such liberty any other dav in the week. "The fault of the The loss of a steamer like the Elbe recalls reminiscences of other marinedisasters. The following are some of the most terrible that have occurred in recent times. ,In 186SH. M. S.

The Rev. D. Campbell, in a letter published elsewhere, takes exception to our remarks ou the Sunday Observance Bill. We are not surprised, nor do we retract one iota from what wo there said. We should like to see a holiday once a week secured for everyone, and tbe best day for that holiday is Sunday. AVe should also like to see everyone going (o church at least once on that day, but we do uot believe in driving people there by closing every other means of spending their spare time. That appears toiis to be tbe best way of making churches, aud religions generally, obnoxious. If the parsons caunot attract people io their churches'by their own powers we do not believe in aiding them by acts of Parliament. AVe maintain that every man should be allowed to spend the day in the ���������way which to him seems best, and that tbe law should protect him in this right. That is where we difier from Mr. Campbell. We are glad to note that The Colonist is awake to the fact that the Kootenay is a great mining region and that its fame was not exhausted in a single boom. "It is believed" says the leading journal, "that the yield of the Kootenay mines will, during the present year, amount to nuiuy millions of dollars." The Colonist is about right and we are pleased to think that this knowledge of our resources has been largely gleaned from the columus of The Mineb from which lengthy extracts are printed every, week in Victoria's morning paper. Queen Lil, the dusky sovereigu of Hawaii has at last "resigned" the crown of the group of islands. As a matter of fact she was deprived of her crown months ago aud the islands have been ruled by a republic ever since. No .doubt her sable majesty has been casting about for some means of getti'g herself back on to the throne, bat'she finds out now that not only is that impossible*, but that if she does not resigu peaceably that which was taken from her by force, her successors will at once deprive.her of some very considerable possessions which she owns. Discretion has therefore prompted the action. Now that,they have it entirely their own way the group of American specul.lors who pull the strings of Hawaii, will make the little republic dance to whatever time they please. According to the editor of the Alaska News, who is now iu Seattle, itis possible that the celebrated camp known as Forty Mile on the Yukon is in British territory, indeed it is not absolutely certain that the town of Juneau will not find itself on British soil when the boundary question is settled. Although later accounts diminish the number of victims bv the sinking of the "Elbe" from 100 to 303, thedisas'teris still ap- paliug in its magnitude. Some of the papers talk rather wildly about the enquiry, but they must remember that this will not be held in England but iu ' Germany. The disaster occurred on the high seas and not in territorial waters. ... THE TRAIL TO WHITE GROUSE MOUNTAIN. To Editor Mineb.:��������� Sir,���������My attention "has been called to a petition signed by 50 or 60 persons iu this vicinity; more or less interested, which has been got up by Messrs. Newell and Black, (owners of Davie townsiti) asking the Provincial Government for $500 to build a " trail from Davie townsite to AArhite Grouse Mountain, where they have some claims, "Tqs teado f sending th e-pe ti tio nJ'to"Vic to ri"a~ direct as., I naturally "would have supposed and passed through ���������the Gold Commissioners hands. , I think it" but just should such a grant be made, that the expenditure of such moneys should be where the greatest number would be benefitted. A matter which calls for the attention of the Gold Commissioner. If a trail is to be built iu the district referred to above, I a in of the opinion it should be' built up Lsi- frahce creek, as it would touch on-White Grouse Mountain;- making .it accsssible to claims located there and also be the direct route to St. Mary's. On this '-route there are a number of claims located, some of them with cons derable ore out ready for shipment. . . - In the proposed I rail from Davie to White Grouse Mountain, there will be none else benefitted but Messrs. - Newall and .Black. On the Lal'ranco creek trail many persons holding claims along the creek and on the summit will be benefitted 0:i either route there are three summits* to get over to reach Kootenay lake, which; I do not tliink to be very practicable, nor warranting -very vast expendituie. The natural outlet for the mineral is an all down grade by way of Goat River, or if found preferable a down grade also to East Kootenay. You might refer to Mr. Stewart's report (which is in the Gold Commissioners office at Nelson) of his exploratory survey up La- franc6 creek, looking up a pass for the C. P..B., made some two years ago, in which he states the feasibility of a good wagon road or trail being built.

SOUTHERN. , For the lust three or four yours a small number of men, who have made it their msiness to see West Kootenay with heir own eyes, have been doing all that ..dividual* can do to bring the riches of is country to the knowledge of Oana- ian and 'English capitalists. Articles ave been contributed to the most iui- oii'tant newspapers of the. world, peeches have been made before all sorts audiences, including the London of Commerce, and an active personal propaganda has been carried n. But though we piped to the world, e world would not dance tpour music, 'hey asked: "[f Kootenay is so rich, ivhy does it send nothing out?" They kid "When you begin to ship we. will egin to buy." Now we have done more inn begin 10 ship. Look at the first plumn of The Miner and see what ootenay's shipments are in spite of the >w price of silver. If these shipments ere made from any other country but ir own we should be crazy to invest, ut it is our own country: a good solid, bnest business of our own and so we ike no notice, of it. There are excep- ons, of course,.but as a rule the mer. anl.s of the capital and of Vancouver p not advertize, i.e., do uot seek busi- ess in our mining camps, preferring to X! ii. go,to Winnipeg or the States. Tlie fining brokers of Vancouver and Vic- oria sit on their haunches and bewail he bad times, instead of trying to get share of the mine brokering which is low being done in Spokane, and worse man all, though a few wise and patriotic men have put their money into Imelters built or to be built in the country in which, they, are interested, they. iiave to send out of Canada for their |ioal, or letthe smelting be done in the smelters of the States! Is it because we have no coal suitable for our smelters; kio merchants who can compete with Ihose of Winnipeg or the" States; no ; brokers in our two great towns.who .now .what mines are ahd can attract Lupital to honest business propositions? Not a bit of it. The merchants are here, but they are asleep;, the brokers are here, but they are busy smoking and grumbling over bad times; the coal is Idose at hand, but the C. P. R. stands fnelween it and Kootenay. ��������� ������ --It is tune for Kootenay to realize what Ithe true position of this coal question is. L'n the Crow's Nest Pass we have an Jenoriuous deposit of excellent coal, equal Uo the best Welsh coal, which, if it could be sent by rail from the Crow's Nest 'ass, via Cranbrook and St. Marys River bo Pilot Bay, could be delivered at the [smelter there at $6 or even at $5per ton. Co do this 120 miles of railway would [_iave to be built, and the men who want [to build it are ready to do so, are iu Lon- lon now waiting only for the grant of the subsidy, already voted by the Dominion Government, to begin work. It lis, we presume, common knowledge that |lhe Dominion Government voted .$3,200 mile for the first section of the B. C. |Southern Railway in 1894. A railway is bo run from the coal deposit, through the Crow's Nest Pass to the Upper Koote- Inay; the first section of it to be 34 miles |n length. This railway will bun through fi mineral country and will bring ore as is well as coal to the West Kootenay smelters. Sib John Thompson, the then Premier, decided that this, subsidy was to be given to the B. C. S. unless the C. P. R. came to terms immediately with the B. C. S., in which case the.C. P. R. was to build and have the subsidy. But the C. P. R. bus not come to terms. It is said on the other hand that this monstrously strong corporation maintains that all the section of country concerned in this question should be reserved for their benefit, and that they have strained every nerve to oppose the granting of this subsidy to the men who want to use it. Sib John is dead and the history of this trifling with the rights of a people may never see light. It should do so. Either men in high position greivously misrepresent things or it is a matter which should be exposed. At any rate this much is certain. The B. C. Government is now pressing the Dominion Government for the immediate grant of the subsidy already voted. The B. C. S. Ry. is ready to commence building as soon as they get that subsidy. The mines are producing ore enough to warrant the bringing of coal to. our smelters and we are losing money and work for our people by sending the ore out of our country to be smelted, buying other peoples coal instead of using our own. It should be clearly understood that whilst B. C acknowledges a certain debt of gratitude to the C. P. R. for opening up this country she is not prepared to pay it with her life blood. She has paid enough already. The Canadian Pacific Railway was made for British Columbia as apart of Canada, and not Canada for the Canadian Pacific Railway. If the Crow's-Nest coal can be shipped j to Kootenay, it can be sold there at $6 i per ton. At the present moment the freight alone on coke delivered at Pilot Bay comes to $8.75. The coal of the Crow's Nest will become a valuable asset instead of dormant riches. It will employ a very large number of men to mine the coal, men to freight the coal to Kootenay, men "to smelt the ores in Kootenay. It will leave to mine owners the cost of freighting the ore to foreign smelters and to smelting men the difference between $0 ahd $12.75 per ton for coal. Now we make our money out of mining the ore and selling it. If we had this 120 miles of road which the B. C. S. wants to build we should keep all the labour and most of the prolit in our own province; we should ourselves mine the coal and sell it; we should freight it and be paid for freighting it; we should do our own smelting and make a profit on all these various operations as well as on. the mining and sale of our ore and should immensely add to our population. Is it possible that the present Dominion Government is not strong enough to control the Canadian Pacific Raihvay company?���������I-f--it--is���������noly-t-ho-people-of- this part of Canada will be asking at the next election whether it is strong enough to govern the Dominion? These are serious questions worthy a statesman's consideration.. This we know, that British Columbia wants its own coal for its own smelters; wants its own labouring men employed to smelt its own ores, and does not want its prosperity to wait another seven years upon the conven ience of any company. as some important matters came up which the parties present were uot prepared to deal with, owing to want of full authority and other reasons, the agreement between the companies was not then and there con: eluded, but was postpoued for a short time for further consideration aud the obtaining of the needful authority to conclude an amicable arrangement. It is likely that this will be effected soon, and we siucerely hope that it may, as, whilst the government is not at present committed to the N. ������fe F. S., on the other hand it is by no means the case so fur, that the C. P. R. have established any right to the water front east of Ward street. The present government certainly will not permit any "dog in the manger'" action where the public interests are concerned. We cannot fiud that Mb. Hume has ascertained anything or done anything with respect to this matter. What did-his supporters send him to Victoria to do ? Is he stopping the Five Mile Point Railway as he tried, by his vote to stop the Red Mountain Railway ? When is the --upbuilding" syndicate going to lay its first brick ? gOins winter has commenced and the,SKATES-are p- fast. But don't you know that you need time Yes! something beside outdoor amusement ? There is no winter for practicing on some instrument. We have- Banjos, Guitars, Violins and all the latest music, beside Pianos an Organs and ��������� ������ ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF NEWSPAPERS AND NEW NOVELS. vm We will deliver your news at your door if you want it regularly. Oh! yes, we. forgot to say that we have a big stock of sewing machine needles and oil. TTJZR3ST_E]R BEOS. NEW SUITINGS. NEW TROUSERINGS. Fred. J. Squire, the Nelson Tailor, has just received a large consignment of BRITISH POLITICS. The British Parliament was opened 011 the. 5th and the perusal,of the Queen's Speech leaves the Impression that there will be lively times, politically, in the old country. For some time the Irish have been protesting that unless Home Rule is made a prominent feature ot the session, they will desert the Liberals and vote in opposition witli the Conservatives. This of course means the downfall of-Lord Rosebery and his party. There is absolutely no mention whatever of Home Rule iu the speech. The only reference made about Irish affairs is to the effect that law and order prevail to an unprecedented degree in the Emerald Isle and that a proposal will be brought forward to remedy defects, iu the law of landlord and tenant. This will not satisfy Pat. The only remedy to that law in his opinion is the total removal of the Landlords by force aud this he has been taught to believe.would be a righteous and just act. The new bill, however, is not likely to contain provisions of so drastic a nature. The Irish party will do as it has done before; walk across the Floor of the House and eject the party it placed in power. We may expect to hear of Loud Rosebeey's resignation any day. Should this happen, the Conservatives will return to power and the covenant between them aud the Liberal "Unionists, which has for its object the maintenance of our National Unity, will be further strengthened by the admission of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain into the Cabinet. Nor should we be surprised to see the Duke of Devonshire also among the new ministers. Our readers will remember that the leaders of this party are all pledged to Bimetalism. FALL GOODS Call and inspect the new Patterns and Styles. Fred. J. Squire, Baker Street, Nelson. but have received uo answer yet.

TERMINUS. ~ The position of the railway right-of-way and terminus question is as follows, and it will be determined without any reference to the expressed desire of the Tribune that there should be no-line from Five Mile Point, aud no terminus at Nelson but'bnly a small station up the mountain. ��������� Some correspondence took place on the subject in 1891, between the Hour. .John Robson, the late Premier, and Mb. Abbott of the C-. P. R., but it is difficult to tell exactly from this correspondence .what was the agreement in reference to the right-of- way east of Ward street. When the'Hon. T. Davie was here lately, he examined the locality on the,spot, and also from the boat on the lake, aud on returning to Victoria, brought about a hearing before the Executive of the parties concerned, represented by Mr. Corbin aud Major Dtjpont on one side and Mr. Abbott on the other. The purpose of the heariug was to ascertain if the parties could arrange the matter without the government being called upon ���������a desirable course and one likely to avoid delay under the circumstances. This appeared to be recognized at the hearing, but NEWS OF THE WORLD. In the Houso of Commons the Goveru- menfc-woi.-its-first-divisio'n-by_oulv-12-.votes;- 273 to 261.

A "Mr. Frobese of Sitka', who claims to be an expert and who is most highly spoken of by the '"Alaskan" vouches for. their genuineness and is confident that the crater bed is "full of. them." We wonder how large that crater bed is. Thecostof the Brooklyn strike which'lasted a fortnight, is estimated at $1,760,054 as follows: For wages, 6,000 men at 82 per day for fourteen days, 8168,000; for railroad fares, 1,300 cars, average loss per day for fourteen days, $25 each, ������455,000; for extra police, 500 men, fourteen days at ������3 per day, 21,000- estimated loss to business in Brooklyn, two'weeks at 8500,000 a week, ������1,000,000. - The.following is the' official despatch to the the United States Government concerning the Hawaiian revolt.

Title | The Miner |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Miner Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1895-02-16 |
Description | The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News. |
