NEW DENVER, B. C, NOVEMBER 28, 1895. Price ��2.00 a Year. A New Mining Centre. Vernon is now likely to become a , mining centre, as well as the hub of a wonderfully fertile agricultural country. W. J. Armstrong" and other ..residents of Vernon, who have a mining" claim on Swan lake, seven-miles north of Vernon, have a proposition from a mining man of note, in England, to' bond their property and work it for one yenr. Arrangements are almost sure to be made. The mine is on the wagon road between Vernon and Larkin, and is a veritable quarry of mineral, assaying from $3 to $13 a ton, free milling gold. This may yet prove to be a second. Tread well mine. Symmons Bros, and C. F. Costerton, also of Vernon, have located claims back of the ��� B. X. raneh close to town that have assayed up to $203 per ton. Quite a number have promising pros- ��� pects in gold. The Armstrong pro- . perty , is claimed' to be' practically. (V. inexhaustible. NORTHERN KOOTHNAl. ,. Captain.John Grant was .in,_ town Wednesday. He seenis very-well pleased with the progress made on the Maple Leaf, Illecillewaet, -where he has been superintending operations, and has just let a contract for 200 feet of tunnelling. A force of men will be at work thou^'hout the winter but their work will be confined entirely to developement work. No effort will be made to ship ore until the proposed tramway and concentrator are put in. The captain has visited the new finds on the north fork of the Illecillewaet recently and is very enthusiastic about them, speaking in the highest terms not only - of the mineral but also of the lay of the country which is comparatively level- Tney had eight horses with the party and packed out over 203 pounds cf samples which have been forwarded to Vancouver for a mill test. The assay received heretofore from these findsgave $5.50 in gold and over 400 oz. in silver per ton besides which -there', is every indication of very large pre bodies, all of which has helj. ed to, convince the captain that the north fork will be a great producer, probably the greatest in the ���.country';:' E. T. Kinman came in from Trout I Lake Thursday. He * has been at work on the American, of which he is one of the owners, and will put in the winter, there. They will work six or eight men all winter and expect to have the distinction of being fi st to ship ore from the Trout lake district. They will commence ship ping as soon as the weather permits of rawinding over the trail recently completed, and count on delivering from 80 to 100 tons at Tacoma this winter. The ore of the American, at present prices is worth about $110 per tori. Mr.', Kinman disposed of, a quarter interest in the American to Abrahamson Bros, yesterday. He will return almost immediately with rawhides, ore sacks and several tons of supplies for the7 winter's, work. , Andy Parks and J. D. Sibbald returned from the- Bend Wednesday evening. Bedrock^ had not been reached when they left the Park mine last Sunday and there is a probability that work will be. suspended for the winter as no provision has been made for winter working and the frost is beginning to interfere with the operations. v '' , Tom Downs and Charlie YHolden came up from Trout Lake-this week. transfer of the Silver Cup. This is one of the highest grade propositions in the ' Trout- Lake district. Win.

They look for a rush in there next summer and feel confident it will occur. Claim owners are doing more work on their properties than at any time previously. Home's boat returned from the bend to-day. It will start for Trout lake Monday with six tons of supplies. Howe and Anderson have got their supplies up and started work on the Gold Yam, Carnes creek.���Mail. 1884, when Mr. Wheeler and Henry Tobias, his companion, first arrived on Kootenay lake and camped at the Warm Springs, now called Ainsworth. After looking over the country they decided it was a healthy place to prospect for mineral. Accordingly they returned by. row boat to Dave McLaughlan's, on Kootenay river, where they had left theiranain store of supplies and outfit. While rowing up the Kootenay they were attracted by the wild cries of an Jndian. Rounding a bend, they came in sight of a Siwash in a canoe who was circling around a black bear in the water, and at the same time giving vent to terrible yells. Soon another Indian in a canoe came in sight from up the river, he like his brother Siwash, circled around bruin. Finallylndian no. one drew so near the bear he could reach him with his paddle, raising the same he brought the sharp MINING NOTE'S. /;' Happening's of Interest Among Treasure Vaults. the It is'said, that they are. negotiating a. edge down with great force across the small of-the animal's back, com- pletel_/ disabling him, then the Siwash "took the bear by the, head towed him ashore where the work of A STORY OF TWO BEARS. A W. Wheeler, a piominent miner of Ainsworth, on Kootenay lake, is undoubtedly the oldest white resident in this section of British Columbia. That is one of the pioneers who have remained here continually since first setting foot in tins portion of Her Majesty's domain. Naturally AI. is a veritable mine of old time reminiscences, buthis innate modesty prevents him from giving utterance to his experiences, when the bulk of the population of thi* country was the noble Siwash. ��� Recently a scribe, who occasionally pencils a line for The Ledge, happened to be in Ainsworth arid to him AL related two, bear stories which came under his observation, and as they are a little outside the bounds Of such yarns they are hereby given publicity. It was about the middle cf June, A year or so later Mr. Wheeler and Alex. McLeod also now a resident of Ainsworth, were working on Patolea claim and had "Skeokuni I*ete," since then killed by his brother, and another Siwash helping them one day Pete asked a lay off so as to go hunting. His request was granted as the camp was out of fresh meat. Mr. Wheeler furnished him with a modern Winchester for the trip. Late (that night Pete returned. He had nothing to say to his white brother but kept up a pow-wow with his dusky companion. The following morning Pete stated he had killed a monster bear which would require the entire force of four men to bring to camp. Mr. Wheeler examined the gun and counied the cartridges and found that not a shot had been fired from the weapon. However he went with the others and found a huge bear lying dead on a rocky knoll. We questioned as to how he had killed the animal, Pe;e stated he had came upon bruin while he was asleep. Picking up a club lie hit it a tarrific whack over the head breaking the club, the bear; opened his jaws and started for the Indian when Pete jab bed the jagged end or the stick in the bears mouth, down his throat and ruptured his juglar, causing him to bleed to death.

By Cahiboo in the Province. We were telling stories in which the late Sir Matthew Bailey Begbie figured when cut short no doubt to make room lor the many more good things which had to find a place in The Province of October 2(>th. But enough of story telling. Let us now take up our talk where wc left off. It brought us to the year 18(8 and left us at Barkerville, not much of a place at th�� time, as we Pave seen. Up to this date the more ai dent spirits had pushed their way in and for the hardship they endured as the pioneers of tlie country very manv cf them had a good pile to -.how. In the following year, 1804, came the big rush when the country was fairly inundated by all sorts and conditions of men���especially conditions. Men who had had any ex}.er ience- in mining came fanly well prepared, but they were in the great minority. Such wild stories ��� had gone abroad as to the richness of the country that an idea appeared to prevail that all one had to do was to come in and help himself to gold. That inordinate influx, I am convinced, has done more than anything else to retard the development of Kootenay and Cariboo. Men who could not -and l would not bt a success anywhere flocked "in ai d wheni they failed to find if the veritable Eldorado thev had pictured to themselves they ��� cleared out again to give the Balloon "Country the worst name they could conceive ��� ��- Hundreds,, of these fellows came into tlie. country penniless, doubtless in the hope of finding employment blood stains. I could then Mieve. his stow for I have seen horses in a "train stampede when attacked i , *.- Arrcr rmp AVIIO liaS places along the route-places at rack train stampede when a��ac, eu ^�� f���^ m,^t be effeotuallj by theee pests ��\���*���X atmcked by robbers-and at the* followed a train in that country, in the warm season muss have noticed how the poor horses, hungry and fatigued though they be, will gather round the camp fire, their instinct teaching: thun that the smoke will keep off the little pests. The poor fellow to whom I allude soon afterwards developed into a good miner��� and a successful one at that. A christening, I need scarcely sa?>, was a rare ceremony in Cariboo in the Pioneer Hall, Broad Street, any tended for our camp disappeared day. There were a few dangerous gradually but surely from before the "- ~,<��� of parson and those of us who Jiad the curiosity to watch him operate. He was not invited to breakfast next morning. We afterwards learned that whenever and wherever this gentleman took a meal in Cariboo, or Kootenay he was charged double fare. The story is told of him that on one occasion having been served with his double allowance he called attacked by robbers--and at these the men dismounted and walked behind their horses. Their instructions were in case of attack to shoot the brutes and fight for the gold. But the emergency never arose. Individuals or small parties of miners were frequently attacked and robbed were frequently attacked and robbcci wiui uu> uuuW1J ���. and in too many instances murdered for a lew more beans, "just to finish " *TT ���** w "H'^wp with the bacon," and then " a little Mill 111 l \J\J tixtx S *.,^-.-~- for their gold. 'Hence it was that we were fond of company in our travels through Cariboo.' We were always the early da vs. There were no expecting to be surprised by one or children'there" to be christened, ex- other of the murderous band who fre- cept, indeed, those of the��� aborigines, '^"^nted the country about this time - .-. __. ���4. 4.1^ fhiYf* knew nothing but when it offered they could not work. It was "every man for himself and the Lord for us all" then; so that the stranger in a strange land, while he might meet *vith sympathy, ���cjuld not relv on-practical help.' l_.no scenes in Victoria during tins period have already been described in our "talks" by'old timers who were eye witnesses. ' I was up couhtry at tne time, but if they were wo.-se here ( than thev were up there it would be j impossible to exaggerate. 1 have" s'��en scores of men c< me into Bar Iberville dead broke and so thoroughly done u]) bv their long tramp as to be practically unfit for any class or work, cept, mueeu, mu^ ^ v..^ ..._ ,, and they at the time knew nothing of the advantages or benefits of' a godfather or godmother. , But we had j a christening without a child. The j ceremony���was performed by the late Kev. Mr, Evans one bright Sunday morning in August, ��� 1864, in the presence oi a large and distinguished crowd. And as .if to insure that everything was done ��� according ' to law the late Sir Matthew Bailey Begbie, Judge Cox and Jud<?.e Reilly were present. ��� All t he; miners :b�� the district gathered round, and with due solemnity the parson named Cameron- town, in deference to the wishes of "the people " and the poor fellow we used to call Millionaire Cameron. There was prayer, the singing of a hymn or two, and a nice little sermon. Service over we proceed to drink the health of Camerontown. If the liberality and enthusiasm dis: played on that occasion could have made'the place anything like what we wished for, Camerontown would long since have been the most popul Z?and prosperous city m ;the l��.o; .vjnee. Oh. what a time we had ! The following morning some of the) boys were looking for a shoe-horn-to get their caps on. The" next time I iriet the parson was at the laying of the foundation stone of the old church at the corner of Broad and Pandora Streets, lately occupied by the Salvation Army. In the same year (18G4) the first two white women that ever put foot in Barker ville came there. .They were Mi s. Cameron, whose husband quented the country about this time, and always tried to be prepared for an attack. Of course there was a good deal of unnecessary fear entertained all strangers being eyed with suspicion.. . I remember on one occasion when coming down' to' Yale getting quite a respectable fright.. We bad camped for the night and had just completed our evening, meal when we heard what sounded like an army of desperadoes approach. Every" man of us was up in arms. The spokesman of ��� the approaching party advanced and announced himself as the Rev. Mr. S . He requested that he might be,allowed to camp on the same ground and seeing there was J no apparent cause 'for'alarm we consented aiid tried to make the. visitors as' comfortable as possible. . One of our party,suggested to the new,comers' that they need not build a fire as ours was going!,' and while the others were unpacking invited the parson to help himself to a meal which we had partially prepared in. view of an early start the next morning. - There was a large pan "of bacon and beans in view and these the Rev. gentleman' attacked with wonderful' vigor. Now 'tis a /well-established fact that the braciffg'air of the mountain's has an appetising effect upon most people, but we never until this particular occasion had any thin sr like a correct conception of the powers of the air upjn a man's appetite. The mess in with the bacon," and then " a little more bacon to finish the beans," and again beans for the bacon and bacon for the beans. At last the boarding- house keeper suggested, "now, parson, you must make up your mind which you will have���the bacon or the beans'the beans or the bacon. You will never get through if you don't." History does not record the decision of the gentleman with the appetite., , - IDEISTTIST KASLO, B.G. , Graduate of American College of Dental Surgery Chicago.

The condition of Peter Kindel, of the Slocan Star, has considerably improved in the last few days, his prospects ot recovery are much brighter. Wm.

Archie Cooper, of Sandon, was brought in on Sunday last suffering from a stroke of complete paralysis of the right half of his body, his condition has so far remained unchanged, but hopes are enterained of his recovery. W. Merkley of this town had the misfortune to have one of his fingers badly smashed by a falling rock in the Curric mine. The injured member was dressed on Sunday last, and is hoped that amputation will be unnecessary. The hospital, on Saturday last was the scene pf a festive gathermg, the occasion being the marriage of Miss Anna; Thompson to Mr. Julius Wolff, "both of the hospital staff. The Rev.

FIGHTING FOR SPOKANE. J !* .(, J V 1 v' ���A'-:.' Notwithstanding all that has been paid to the contrary the Spokane Spokesman-Review is still of opini n ,. that Spokane must and will remain the supply point for West Kootenay. T In referring to the subject it says: "Several contestants in British Columbia are fighting for a part of t he trade of the Kootenay, Revelstoke, Vancouver, Victoria and Nelson. The visit of the British Columbia board of trade to the Kootenay was for the express purpose oi establishing, trade relation*. It will be difficult for Victoria or Vanco uver to wrest the trade from Spokane. Many articles both in dry goods and groceries must be purchased in the United States, pay . a duty, then be 1 shipped to the coast and back, again to Kootenay; while Spokane,, right under the border and only a short distance from the scene of greatest activity in British Columbia, can successfully compete with the Vancouver merchant. Spokane is alright and will continue to sell goods at Boss- land,, Nelson, Kaslo, Three Forks and other points within easy reach. considered as good as the former one The London Chronicle IpuI long articles on the exhibition, showing the advantages of these vehicles; and urging their adoption in England. - R.

The town of Tunbridge Wells was all excitement on the appearance there of horseless carriages and motor tricycles which were-.exhibited at the fair ground last month. Large crowds came to the town to witness an exhibition which will help to mark another step in the progress of civilization from .every side. The signs are coming that the days, of the horse's usefulness are fast passing away. Sir David Solomon appeared in a horseless carriage, known as a "vis-a-vis." It was covered with morocco with a removable hood. The motor was behind, the driver sat on the back seat steering and governing being effected by means of a handle bar as on a bicycle. This regulated the speed, etc. Another handle was used to back it. On a stop the carriage was stationary yet the motor continued to work. The motor is �� of h.p.. It can travel on a good road at 20 miles per hour, and average 12. It carries enough benzine to run it 203 miles. It weighs 1,200 pounds on the road. Another much larger carriage was exhibited to carry a heavy load at a slower speed, also a barouche with a petroleum motor on small wheels in front. Great interest was taken in the tricycles, of which several were exhibited. One worked with a petroleum motor ignited by an electric spark. It weighed 90 pounds, and behaved successfully. It is regulated by handles, the pedals being necessary for starting, but while in motion they are not used. A speed of 30 miles an hour can be maintained on good roads. Another was exhibited of �� of one h p. It ran by mineral naphtha. It alsp made good time, but was not S.S. "ALBERTA."

A youcg type-writer (says the Syracuse Post] had just, been hired by a prominent lawyer. She had never done regular work before, and was,somewhat nervous. The lawyer settled himself back in his chair and began dictating a brief. He had pegged a way about five minutes, when the girl stopped, with a horrified look on her face. ''What's the matter ?" asked the lawyer. ' 'Would you mind saying tliat all over again?" the" girl asked, with eyes Mi of tears. "Why?" "I forgot to put any paper'in the machine!" The'London critic, Clement Scott, and Mrs. Kendal have been at loggerheads for many years, Scott's version of the cause of their enemity it interesting. . "It was' years ago," 1 he says, "when the Kendals were on,a provincial tour. I had gone be: hind the -scenes to see one of the actors,', and by accident' I walked right into Mrs. Kendal's room. That' good, lady was.about to-begin her toilet. She. shrieked : 'Go "away! Go away !' I turned, shut my eyes tight, bowed, and said: 'Madam, I need no persuasion.' And to this day I have never been able to tell which' she resented the more���my intrusion or my remark." . Charlotte Cushman was oiice filling an engagement at the opera-house in .Belmorc. A man in the gallery created such a disturbance "'that it seriously impeded the progress pf the play, and finally brought* it to a stand-still. Immediately the audience, furious with anger, cried: "Throw huh over! Throw him .over !" ' .Miss Cushman stepped to the edge of the footlights, and, in a sweet and gentle voice, exclaimed: "No, I beg of you, dear friends, don't throw him over. Kill him ^\yhere- he'js !]'., Tii is story has been "told pf'a, good- many other actresses beside Charlotte Cushman. But we will let it go at that , ' ' During the Chilean War, Americans were very badly treated, and "Fighting Bob-" Evans did not like it. ' All classes down there use tremendous quantities of garlic, and the result is unpleasant, for your nose is offended constantly, even in the street. One��� night a boat was sent ashore from Captain Evans'ship, and, believing it safe, the sailors who had acted as oarsmen lefr. it on the beach for a few minute's while thev went to slake tiieir thirst. Upon their return they discovered that a party of the Chileans had loaded it witli stones. "Fightine*-Bob " was fighting mad when he heard of it next day,and was. asked what he was going to do about it. "Do about it?" returned the sailor; "why, I'm going to turn my men i.ito traveling arsenals, and if the thing ever happens again, or if our flag is again insulted, I'll make hell smell of garlic!" ft D.
