Array JS, V VOL. 6.���������NO. 34. SANDON, B.C., SATURDvY, FEBRUARY 7, 1903. 2.00 PER YEAR RICH STRIKE'4T PAYNE. The Main Vein Encountered in No. 8 Tunnel after Three . Years Labor. A rich strike of solid ore was encountered in No. 8 tunnel at the Payne hist Saturday. The extent of the find lias not been determined yet, but it ia safe to Bay that it will equal anything yet found in the property. Yet while the strike will greatly enhance the value of ' that already famous mine, it will fur-, ther give the Payne over 400 feet of ad- . ditional stoping ground. Tunnel No. 8 was started in February 1900, by the then manager, Mr. C. H. Hand, anil was continued by his. suc- . cessor, Mr. W. E. Zwiokey without success being attained. The Payne Mining Co. have spent an unusaally largo amount of money in driving tunnel No. 8 1,600 teet from the McGuigan side of Payne mountain. This is said to be one of the longest unbroken tunnels in the district and throughout its course of operation a great many difficulties were encountered. Anyone not familar with mining'conditions of the blocan will have some difficulty in realizing the severity and disadvantages relating to the history of this three years' undertaking. The rock encountered was of unusual hardness, while to this was added a heavy flow of water and to make matters woise, a continuous faulting of the ground, caused not alone much inconvenience but also heavy expenditure in prosecuting this tediouB work. . As the work and results were very discouraging, operations were discontinued for about six months last year, ���������it was only on the strong recommendation of the present manager, Mr. Alfred 0. Garde, that the work was again taken up. Since Mr. Garde commenced the extension of No, 8 tunnel, the work lias been pushed with vigor, many obstacles have been overcome in the way of water and intricate faulting of the vein,} and his efforts were rewarded last JSaturday by again breaking in on tlie vein and exposing the magnificent pay shoot of -hiuh grade ore. Work is now being continued on the rich discovery and the showing encountered is improving as work is being prosecuted. Mr. Garde is highly pleased with the result of the work carried on under hii v ���������"- ��������� supervision. It was with great difficulty he persuaded the company to renew operation in this tunnel,onaccount ofthe continual disappointments met .with from the outset. The present manager after thoroughly going over ���������the ground and giving it a close examination was convinced a large body of ore would be encountered and it was on the strength of this assurance that the work was again taken up. That his calcula tions were correct is verified by the rich Mr. and Mrs. W.K. Jenkins,of Alamo, find on Saturday last and Mr. Garde is were in town yesterday, to be congratulated on making asuccesa j ofan undertakint! which heretofore re LOOKING m INFORMATION. suited onlv in failure. Town Jottings. M. L. Grimmett was a visitor to Kaslo on legal business the first part of the week. Mr. L. Pratt,, manager oi the Last Chance mine, paid Nelson a short business trip Tuesday; Alderman Brown is in Victoria thia week in connection with the securing of a water right for. the city. Electric lights* have been installed in the Catholic church the past week, and the generosity of Mr. Harris has again been exemplified when dealing with the churches and institutions which benefit the city. The Sandon hockey team are practising hard for their contests at the Rossland carnival next week. The boys are confident that with good ice and an impartial referee, their chances are good for securing the championship and capturing the cup. The 0. P. R. have put a freight train on the Sandon and Nakusp branch of their service, and the benefits derived by the public have been manifest the past week. The passenger train has arrived almoaton time every da v,-7-which haa not occurred for a long time. A good deal of interest was manifest in local hockey circles over the match between the Winnipeg Vies and Mont- reals at Montreal on Wednesday night. The game was won by Montreal, the score being.4 to 1 in their favor. Miss Julia McDonald left by the K. & S. train on Monday for her home in eastern Ontario. Her departure was a few days earlier than anticipated, occasioned by lhe receipt of the sad news of the serious il Iness of her mother in Cornwall. S. F. Parrish, of Greenwood, and manager of the B. C. mine in Summitcamp, lias been appointed manager of the Le Roi mine and Northport smelter in succession to John A. Mackenzie, who re cently resigned. Mr. Parrish is acting consulting engineer for tho Payne mine here. C. D. Hunter,of thellunter-Kendrick Co, with stores iu this city, Phoenix and Grand Forks, arrived in town last Wednesday evening on a visit of inspection of the company's interest here. Mr. Hunter will remain in Sandon several days to superintend stocktaking at the ,ocal branch. His numerous friends here are pleased to see him once more in their midst for a short time. The ladies arepracti-oingcnrliiig a_:uin this week and some more excitement can be expected shortly. Mr, John Daly accountant of lhe Rambler mine at Kaslo was in the city a few days this week renewing old acquaintances. Mrs. Chas. Dickson, of Kaslo, spent a few days this week in tbe city on a visit with her husband, Mr. C. Dichson, accountant for II. Giergerich. Brinsley Walton left Thursday for his old home in Waterloo, Ont., where he will spend the balance of the winter months. Mrs. Chan. McLaughlin has rented her house on Cody avenue to Mr. and Mrs. Bewley an-l will leave shortly for Edmonton, Alta., to visit her mother. In this issue we print the report of silver-lead delegates who wentto Ottawa to interview the government on tariff revision. Although thev have placed their case before the federal authorities, the work commenced ie by no means at an end. It is the intention to keep up the agitation until the government is forced to act by the continual expression of public opinion. The condition of the Slocan at present is such that the press cannot be too persistent in their demand for tariff protection, which appears to afford-the only relief from the present stagnant condition. The Payne company are making arrangements to install a couple of Wilfley tablus in the concentrator, by which means a large quantity of fine zine will be saved before it is washed off the van- ners to extract the fine particles of rich silver-lead ore. There are many other improvements in contemplation around the mill the coming summer, and when the}' are in operation the Payne Mining Company will possess one of the most complete milling plants in British Columbia. Harold and Rudolph Ashford received word a few days ago from their brother Henry in California, that the longdrawn out litigation over a number of rich mineral claims in which they are heavily interested, has been amicably settled in their favor. The properties are gold and situated in the noted. Majava des- est. Shipments from some of the claims have gone away up in the hundreds of dollars to the ton,and it was tlie great value of the mineral that started the litigation so easily trumped up in mining in that state, and was the cause of numerous and costly lawsuits. The expense of continuing the fight have been very heavy and work on the mines had to be abandoned for some time, but will be again taken up at once now that the Parties From All Over Want to' Know About the Silvery Slocan District, The Silver Glance, at Bear Lake, has '.settlement places them in undisputed now become a valuable shipper to its owners. Tunneling had on been conducted a phort distance last fall when a fine body of high grade ore was struck, which has proved continuous and shown up better under development. Only a lew men are working, on the. property, and the ore shipments last month were 53>$ tons. right to the valuable ground. Harold Ashford, who has had considerable experience in mining in California, will probably leave in a short while for the golden state, and superintend the work of the properties in conjunction with hie brother Henry, under whose guidance the long standing difficulties have been adjusted. Since the meeting of the mine owners in this city in December last and the subsequent agitation by the prese.ofthe country fora higher lead tariff, byway of bettering the mining conditions of this district, the Slocan has attracted worldwide attention. The many resolutiont- passed by almost every town in the Kootenays, showing universalsympathy with the demands ot the operators, have resulted in thequestion being thoroughly investigated, and the conclusion reached is thatsomothing must be radically wrong to see a once "flourishing industry decline in such a manner. The Slocan was brought before the investing public some six or Beven years ago by the unusual richness of its ore, and capital flowed in freely to open up many promising properties. Everything was working smoothly until our legislature of blunderheads passed legislation after legislation in the form of what they termed mining laws, and hampeied the mines villi so many restrictions that tile majority of them were forced to dose down while the remainder worked very indifferently. Then to make iiiatters worse followed- the slump in the price of silver und the refusal the American Lead Trust to buy our lead product. The Slocan mines even for the short period of prosperity have paid more dividends than the entire other mining sections of the province combined, and will again do so just as soon as conditions ace favorable. It was* the suspension of dividends by the mines, one after another, that caused many interested in silver-lead properties here to make a study of the question and the conclusion arrived at is inadequate tariff protection and imbecile provincial legislation were the chief causes of thealarmingdegener- ation of the silver-lead industry. The Review is constantly receiving letters of enquiry about the Slocan from parties in the interior of the province, Eastern Canada and the United States of which the following is a sample and when proper legislation is enacted, wc have little doubt that capital will pour in again and mining in this district enter on a greater period of prosperity than ever before: Milan, Minn., Jan2Sth 1903.

THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, February 7, 1903. The Mining Review. ,p ������ATUk'j)AY, JANUARY 31, 1903. HOPEFUL VIEW The hopeful view consumptives take of their own cases is strongly in their favor. Each year is showing a. larger per- THE PROFESS10NAL"KNOCKERr." centage of Cures. There appears to be associated with One of the best reasons for every mining camp a certain class of in- good hope is the record of dividuals whose aim apparently is to Scott's Emulsion as a medicine decry everything that has a tendency to promote the country's development. The Slocan has proved no exception to the rule, and this class of people have been just as persistently trying to bring discredit as others have been eneigetle- ally promoting its welfare. This class of profeBsional "knocker" does not too infrequently confine themselves to one specific undertaking, but include all industries in the same cataaory. They are principally found . among , those who hs������ve a great aversion to manual labor of any kind, whilst again there is a second class who are loud in their acclamation against the country, merely to satisfy a purely personal grudge, actuated with the desire of injuring a certain person or mining company when in numerous cases it reaches an aggravated form by way of bringing others under the ban of disquietude. By their shortsighted advocacy and unscrupulous methods, they do not benefit themselves in the least particle, and by every pernicious tactic they employ it comes hack as a boomerang, and in the end proves more of injury to themselves then it does to whatsoever the ethics arc aimed at. The la*-t year or two the "knockers" were a little too numerous when a few of the mines were undertaking greater davelopuient, and were singled out as mines of the past,or when any accessories to successfully facilitate mining,they were either marked' as inadequate for the purposes or altogether not built on modern principles. These same self- constituted an-, hor i ties on the various branches of mining very often did not know a mine tunnel from a gopher hole. To*properly advance the interests of any country it should be the unqualified purpose of all who are making their livelihood in a particular part, to properly and judiciously place the capabilities before tlie investing' public much in the same light as a successful business man would hi3 wares. , ��������� Of course, a? this country depends entirely upon theone industry���������mining��������� and as the vital necessity to cany it successfully on is capital, due regard should bo given to its real capabilities, while on the other hand no wholesale condemnation should be tolerated, even if one property has not any intrinsic value or personal spite should be sbonj*. for consumptives. So long as the system is strong enough to use medicine of any kind it can use Scott's Emulsion.

E\cr since he accepted lhe nomination some time ago, he has posed himself as the labor champion against the employment of Chinese. One would think by his utterances that the sight of a Chink was enough for Mr. Foley, and the idea of him employing Chinamen in preference to white men, wrs not to be taken into consideration. The consternation may be imagined when a few dnys ago, John Bailies, a union man, who had been listening to harangue of Foley on Chinese labor, made a vfHdavit before Commissioner Mcllaig, of Vancouver, that in the month of December last he applied to Foley to cut a woodpile alongside his house. 1 ailits was aGked his price and replied 70 cents a cord.' The eminent Chris, proiiipt.lv informed him he could' get a Chinaman to cut it for 60 cents a cord. This naturally astonished the knight of labor, who told Mr. Foley he did not work for Chinaman's wages, turned on his heel and walked off. This is only one case of the many of a similar character, lt is a well known fact that many of the high wage and anti-Chinou criers are the first to seek where anything is cheap, and if they do not uet goods at prices low enough to suJt their fancy, do not hesitate an instant to send to the sweatshops of lhe east for almost everything they require. This pernicious piactice would not be thought so much of were it not for the two-faced policy of deception and duplicity of some, whose inconsistency with what they continually shout gives a false idea of their actions.

Dear Sir :��������� ' The delegation appointed under authority of the resolution passed at the convention of silver-lead operators, held at Sandon, December 10th last, beg to report as follows : The delegation, as finally constituted, consisted of Mr. Geo. Alexander, Mr. G. W. Hughes, Mr. Geo. D. Potter, Mr. John L. Retaixack, who were joined by Mr. G. 0. Buchanan, representing various Boards of Trade of Kootenay, aud Mr. J. J. Campbell, of Nelson, representing the smelting interest. En route east, the delegation communicated with the Boards of Trade- of Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. From the first named Board a very strong endorsatiou of our mission was secured. The Winnipeg Board, represented by a committee, met us by appointment, to whom, iu the short time available, we presented our case, ou which their Board promises to take action at their next general meeting, to be held 3rd prox. Copies of endorsations received from various Boards of Trade, Labor organizations, etc., are attached hereto, the originals having been .handed.to the Minister of Finance. ���������In this connection we desire to express our appreciation of the good work done by the Kaslo and Nelson Boards of Trade, the former having been especially active. Proceeding to Montreal, we met Mr. W. A. Galliher, M. P., who had iu your interests preceded us, and there had a conference with the representatives ofthe paint and lead manufacturing interests. These gentlemen expressed themselves as being indifferent to any change in the tariff on lead, which satisfies them as it stands, but we found that by a resolution of the Manufacturers Association, of which they are. members, they had concurred iu au increase in the tariff on lead and its products, bntlie basis of ^c. per'lb. ..en pig lead, with an additional -%.c per lb. plus 25 per cent, ad valorem on white lead. They declined to support our demands for a higher duty than 3-4.C. per lb. on pig lead, but stated that they would not offer any opposition thereto, stipulating that whatever higher duty might be placed on pig lead, ,the duty should be proportionately increased on its manufactured products. The present policy of the Manufacturers Association being for a general advance in tariff, the neutral position of the paint men can be readily understood. e o ������ ������ e e o o o o e e ������ s o 0 R 0 e ������ ��������� ��������� B e ��������� o a e 9 e 0 e 8 O 0 e ������ c a t TICKET TO ALL POINTS East and West VIA Short Line TO St. Paul, Duluth, Minneapolis, Clues go AND ALL POINTS EAST Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria, Portland AM) ALL PACIFIC COAST POINTS.

This interview was followed, as the engagements ofthe ministers permitted, by interviews with Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce ; Mr. Blair, Minister of Railways aud Canals; Mr. Paterson, Minister of Customs ; * r. Bernier, Minister of Inland Revenue ; and after the departure of Messrs. Buchanan and Campbell with the prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and Messrs. Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, and Sutherland, Minister of Public Works. ' The minister of the Interior, Mr. Siftou, was uiifor- fortunately abseu from Ottawa, aud the delegation was en route home before we learnt of his return. Iu this connection we are much indebted to Mr. Galliher, M. P., who,"learning of Mr. Siftoii's expected arrival, remained in Ottawa to place our case before him. In all of our interviews with the ministers and other influential people we adhered to the figures aud principles set forth in the Sandon resolution, excepting that, in order to protect white lead from displacement iu the paint market by zinc white, in the event of the duty on the former being increased as requested, aud at the request of certain large interests iu this district, we also asked for a duty ou spelter aud. its products, corresponding to that requested on pig lead and its products. In a written memorandum, presented to the minister ,of finance, we embodied the figures of the Sandon resolution, and the proviso for a suspension of duties, in the event of excessive charges for the treatment of ore. Our'statements aud requests were accorded a respectful hearing, and the ministers manifested much interest iu the conditions existing in these silver-lead districts, admitting that such conditions were deplorable, the duties on lead inconsistent, and that some measure of relief should be afforded the industry. Further than this, the question being one of change in the tariff, the ministers would not for manifest reasons commit themselves. We find that the new settlers in Alberta, who have mostly engaged in mixed ' farming, are awakening to the importance of the market, whicli under normal conditions of prosperity these districts would afford them, and that strong petitions had been or were being prepared throughout these new .settlements, asking the Government to increase the tariff rate on their products. We believe that we have the support ofthe bulk ofthe commercial interests of the Dominion, and that, in the western farmers, when instructed as to our necessities, equally strong allies can be found. In order that the support of the commercial element may continue in increasing- activity, aud that further co-operation of laboring, agariau, and political interests may be assured, we earnestly recommend : [1.] That a paid secretary be employed to attend to correspondence aud other necessary business. [2.] That the Senators ancl Members of tlie Dominion Parliament for this province be requested to appoint an early date and place of meeting with a'delega- tion representative of the silver-lead mining industry, and that efforts be made to to secure the co-operation of this delegation of the commercial, laboring and poli- > tical organizations of this section. [3.]. That, with the co-operation of the local Boards of Trade, a represent- tative be sent to the Northwest Territories and Manitoba to solicit the endorsaticu of the farming communities. [4.] That a delegation, consisting. of thoroughly well informed men, be sent to Ottawa when Parliament convenes, to assist our member in advancing our necessities from the standpoint of the practical miner. We believe the government realizes the exigencies of our case and the necessity of according us speedy relief; that a growing public sentiment endorses our request for adequate tariff adjustment ; and that the foregoing recommendations if acted ou will stimulate this sentiment, and by the force of expressed public opinion nulify the arguments of political extremists, or of those, whose interests are" inimical to our own.

There'are many important ques- | tions to be discussed, but the one which . concerns tins country most is the revi- j sion of the t-iriff. It is to be hoped this ' pressing matter will be introduced early , during the session, as it is an assured : fact that none of the mines will resume [operations until the government's deci- ! sion to the mine owners demands are 1 'announced. This naturally will take some Lime, meanwhile the majority of mines are closed down and those working are only employing* one-quarter the number of men engaged formerly, and the total weekly shipments of silver lead ore from this district would not equal the tonnage of one mine alone of a few 3'ears ago. There have been reports current to the efi'ect that the Canadian Smelting Works ac Trail were going to build an addition to their extensive plant for the treatment of silver-zinc ores of this district. The reports were a little premature, but not entirely without foundation. The zinc output at present is loo insignificent to demand the installing of a plant to treat it, the cost of winch is very, expensive. The company admit, however, that should a fair, steady output be assured, they might take the matter into consideration, but just now the idea was not to thought of. There is very little doubt but that when the mines of tlie Slocai. ayahi resume operations the large bodies of zinc ore, which the majority of the properties are known to viontain, will be worked exten- teiisively in conjunction with sijver and lead. Hitherto these zinc bodies have been allowed to remain dormant on account of nu demand lor the ore and the , '_ penalty attached to it in silver-lead. The assurance of a zinc market by the iola ooinpany has reversed these conditions, and the coming summer is likely to see a zinc output of hik b extent that will cause the Canadian smelters to take the que.-tiun of zinc smelting into earnest consideration, build woiksand compete in the market for this class of ore, for-which the output is totally inadequate to meet tho demand. A good story ia told of a Norfolk town councillor. Sitting on the finance committee a day or two ago to pass bills, a small account came up for libbons for the typewriter. Not being acquainted with the mechanicibin of the machine, be remarked : "She may be a veryjiice girly, but I really do no see why she should have this finery at the expense ofthe ratepayers." Mr. Elias Rogers, of Toronto, managing director of the Crow's Nest Coal company, speaking of that- property, said that the daily production was now 2,000 tons of coal and 600 tons of ,coke, and that by April it was expected to double these figures. -Yfe-7 THK MINING .REVIEW���������Saturday, -Fkbruary 7, 1903. Peris "ied in a Snowstorm. The many friends of 1'ele Leniieu u ill lean1 with regret of his perishing in a severe snow storm at Encampment, Wyoming, on Thursday last, where he bad charge of the construction work of a lo" "mile tramway, t.he longest in the, world, for Byron C. Eiblett. The work'had just been completed,. Pete and an assistant named Comer were on a tour of inspection they were caught in a violent snowstorm. As the men did not return when expected, grave fears were en'-.urtaiiio'l for their safetv, when a search party was dispatched to- locate them. .The supposition is tlmt when ���������the storm came upon them they ��������� decided to retrace their steps In doing so they lost the trail and wandered aiui.ess- Iv until overcome by fatigue when they perished. Both bodies were recovered. Pf le leaves a wife and one small child, who are now at Encampment. Tlie deceased was a great favorite with a Uirge number when a resident here some four years atro and was the soul of con geniality. There is another move on the political chess board at Victoria which .cnused "lie hasty departure of R. F. Gr.en, M. IJ. P., to the coast this week. If "Bob" was thc success in everything ne undertake'- as he is a political acrobat he would be a wonder in provincial politics. Premier Prior, and Attorney-General Eberts are now enroute home after their conl'eience with Piemier Laurier on provincial matter-?. They have no as- suninces of securing any additional financial assistance for British Columbia other than favorable consideration. M. L. GRIMMETT, LL. B. Barrister, Solicitor, Notary Public, Etc.

Roughly estimated the stock at Ihe three stores might reach the sum of .$150,000.' The reason assigned by the company for selling is (hat it has decided to confine its attention exclusively to coal mining.' The Canadian Pacific railway improvements, for which twenty million dollars have been authorized, will not be considered until February, when another board meeting will be held, 'and when the second vice-president and general manager will have . returned from his extensive western' tour of inspection, whiih will occupy two months time, being one of the most prolonged inspections ever made on theroad. The Winnipeg board of trade have | ~ adopted resolutions in favor of the demands of the mine owners of theSlocan. This practically places Manitoba and the Territories in line for a higher fcarill". These provinces are wideawake to the benefits derived by a large market for their produce in British Columbia, and with the mining industry again ma flourishing condition means greater prosperity to all other branches of business*, especial I v farming.

For the above occasion the Kootenay Railway and Navigation Co. will sell tickets for one iirst-class fare for tlie With the Curlers. The following is thes.-heilule of games for next week :' Ships. Day Time Ice Pratt vs. Grimmett, Mori. G 30 No. 1 Mr. Geo. Alexander was in city Friday on his way to the'coast. Messrs. W. S. D re wry and C. A. Sandiford, of New Denver, were visitors to tho city Wednesday. The committee who have the hon- spiel matter in hand will meet today .round trip, and arrange for the date on which the Selling dated Feb. 10th. 11th. 12th ancl affair will be held. , . ��������� , * 13th. Return limit Feb. 16th There is money in hockey if we are to judge by the gate receipts of the games between the Victorias, of Winnipag, and the Montrealers the other day. The receipts for a aerie, of four games were $15,000. Both clubs were each given $3,000. The cold snap of the past few days has caused a' brisk demand, for wo*)d coal. 'Ihere was plenty of both on hand luckily and no shortage is feared so long as the C. P. R. keeps the freight on the this section toease the congestion of trafic. There has been a report in circulation this week to tlie effect that Mr. Jones, on behalf of the Tola Zinc Smelting Co:, had purchased the- Lucky Jim mine. On enquiry the Rj-:vie\v learns that there is no truth in the rumor. However, the lola people are negotiating for this well known property and probably from this fact the report eminated. The sale, if any takes place, wlil be about the first of March, when Mr. JJraden, the principal owner of the property, is expected in the city. We regret to hear of the serious indisposition of Mrs. Robt. McDonald, who left Sandon some time ago for Fernie. She has been ill for sometime, and a few days ago was picked up on the street in an unconscious state, having fainted while out taking a short walk. She was carried home and medical attendance summoned anil it took three hours to bring bet* out of the swoon. Mrs. McDonald is suffering acutely from tuberculosis, and her condition is such that there is very little hope of recovery.
