KO'OTENAY Has Three Smelters in Successful Operation, and Enough Ore in Sight, to Run Several More. * TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. 3 THE BIG' COPPER FURNACE. It Consumes Over 225 Tons of Silver King- Ore Every Twenty-four Hours. Tho large, copper furnace at. the J "all Mines has been running smoothly since being blown in Saturday morning. During the first five days running, up to (i o'clock Th u rsday morn ing, 2.2.0,020 pounds of Silver King ore were put through the furnace, prodncing215,9.. I pounds of matte. This furnace whs designed by Paul Johnson, the company', smelter superin- dent, and i.s said to be the largest copper furnace in the world. Mr. Johnson estimates that the operation of the new furnace will effect a saving of 10 per cent on the company's previous smelting expenses,- and that by its use the Hall Mines can smelt copper ores as cheaply as - any smelter in Colorado, despite the di (Terence in the cost of fuel. To the Hall Mines the use of this furnace will mean a saving of at least $1 .00 der month upon smelting expenses. Superintendent Johnson is highly pleased with the success which has attended the blowing in and operation of the furnace. Piece by piece he has built a very economical smelter, and under his personal supervision, the working of the same has been the most creditable of the Hull Mines operations. It is evident that in securing Air.'Johnson, the Hall Mines company was most fortunate. When the big furnace was started there was a good supply of ore in the bins, and as the tramway is bringing down 210 tons per day, it is thought that a long and profitable run will be made. There is an ore. reserve of ���'.100 tons at the mine, and if- pushed, the tramway can deliver 27:1 tons every 2-1 hours. The management is of the opinion that ore will be produced at the mine in sufficient quantities to keep the furnace running six months. This would mean a handsome earning foi the company, as the ore now being taken out of the mine carries much greater values than any which the company has treated for several months past. The reverbera- tory furnace is working up large quantities of white metal, and, will shortly commence working the sameover info copper. It is not unlikely that another reverbera- tory will be added, so that one furnace can be used exclusively for white metal and the second for copper.

The city council on Monday evening awarded two contracts in connection with the new waterworks system. There were but two tenders in for the construction of the head works at Anderson creek and the building of a Hume to the reservoir. Breckenridge & Lund in their tender; offered to do the work for $290!), while W. C. McLean ��_��� Co. figured the job at 8-1000. For the construction of the reservoir Breckenridge & Lund asked .''83., and Noll 6c Thompson $-J3S0.50i On motion of of .alderman 1* .etcher, seconded by alderman llillyer, the tenders of Breckenridge 6c Lund for the construction of the head works at Anderson creek, the flume to the reservoir and the reservoir, were accepted. ,*' ' ��� There were.two tenders in for the laying of the water pipes. Breckenridge 6c Lund's figures were $-1055, and W. C. McLean <fc Co.'s figures were $-1500. There was an irregularity in respect to both tenders however. In the former tender there was a note to the effect that as the the pipe necessary for the work would not arrive for several weeks, the tenderers had not enclosed a certified check for 2. per cent of the value of the contract, but they undertook to do so when called upon by the corporation. "With respect to the tender of W. C. McLean & Co., there was a condition calling for special measurements for certain rock work. They were referred to the public works committee on motion of alderman Gilker, seconded by alderman Hillyer. Mayor Houston announced that the solicitors of the loan company, which is negotiating for the corporation debentures, had reported the Public Works Loan By-law defective in that it did not specifically state all the public works upon which the proceeds of the loan were to be expended, and further that it did not provide for the levying of a special rate to meet interest and sinking fund in repayment of the same. The mayor further stated that if the defects were cured at once, no delay would be occasioned thereby. To meet the difficulty alderman Teet/.el gave notice that he would introduce a public works, loan by-law at the next meeting of the council. McLean & Company Secure a Contract. Thecouncil met again on Tuesday afternoon to receive the report of the public works committee upon the two tenders for laying of pipe for the waterworks distribution system. All members of the council were present save alderman Gilker. ' The committee reported in favor of W. C. McLean 6c Co.'s tender. On motion of alderman Dow, seconded by alderman Malone, the report of the committee was adopted and the contract was awarded to YV. ii. McLean 6c Co. Alderman Teet/.el introduced the public works loan by-law to cure the defects in the present loan by-law complained of by Overland Route to the Yukon. J: B. Powell, C. h*., of Nelson, late managing director and engineer for the London Gold Mining & Development company, has been appointed engineer and director-in-chief of the Great Commonwealth - Development and Mining company. This company' will undertake to establish an overland route to the Klondyke, commencing from Edmonton in the territories. Powell will leave forEdmou- ton in a few. days to locate and survey the route-this fall. The company contemplates being in a position next spring to take all kinds of freight as well as passengers to the new Eldorado. Six hundred miles of the route will be over prairie country and 300 over plateau or basin and the remaining distance by waterways. TJie promoters claim that there will be no perilous passes on their route. Canadian Pacific Stock Goes Up. Owing to the increased earnings of the company-it-is reported that holders of Canadian Pacific common stock will be given a half yearly dividend of U per cent, the same to be declared at the board meeting ou Tuesday. The-stock has advanced from -10 in April to 72 J., and no dottbt will go above this figure when the increased dividend just referred to is declared in October uext. It was in '1892, when the stock went to 90, the earnings were away up. However, returns are all right for the last six mouths. The increase in receipts for the six months ending June 30th, reached $558,000 over the same period last year, so there can be no- difficulty about increased dividend when the money is already earned to pay it. Judgment Secured for Wages. In the county court on Tuesday, before judge Forin, K. A. Forbes and others secured judgment against the Nelson Sawmill company for wages, aggregating over $1900. P. E. Wilson appeared for the plaintiffs, and E. C. Senkler for the defendants. The claimants in the case were 1.. A. Forbes, $287.21.: J. Mcfnnes, $9-1.25; J. Serson, $142.50; D. McEwan, $158.80. J. Braudenberg, $L0-1.70; J. Skene, $74.25; J. Bremner, $82.50: S. C. D. Baker, $204.00; 1-1. Crow, $1.75.75; George Partridge. $17S.30: G. H. Kevs, $17S; Albert Jeniski, S180: George Mcborman, $100. The defendants did nob enter any defence, and judgment was entered with costs. Slocan Exports via Revelstoke. During the month of July there were 085 tons of Slocan exported via the out- port of Hevelstoke, the value of which was $01,429. Jn addition to this, the Lanark mine, operated by the L., F. 11. 6c C. G. F. Co., sent forward 290 tons of ore and concentrates, worth $19,708. The Slocan mines exporting via Hevelstoke during the month were: The Elise Mine will be Sold to Satisfy Claims of Minei's for" Wages. The failure of the management of Elise Gold Mining company to pay wages of the miners employed upon company's property has resulted in order for the sale of the property by court. The order granting the sale was made by judge Forin on Tuesday, in an action brought by Joseph Wagner and otliers to enforce a mechanic's lien. The miners were represented by John Elliot, who secured an order for the sale of, the property upon tiie mining company's default. The total amount of the wages claimed in the suit upon which the order wa.s made was $1101.35, which was divided among tiie following claimants: Joseph Wagner, $80.20; F. J. George, $159.25; C. W. Smith, $508.90; E. L. Page, $193.75, aud Lewis Henry Allison, $J53.25. Just why the Elise Mining company should allow the Elise mine to be sold in tliis manner, is rather puzzling to many who profess to have an idea of tiie value of the property. There are said to be other suits*pending against the compauy, but the aggregate of all the claims does not anything like approacli the reputed value of the property. When the details in connection witli the sale are arranged the date and conditions of the same will. be duly advertised. The Elise property is located on Wild Horse creek, between five and six miles miles from Ymir, and is connected by the same with a pack trail. It is generally understood that the property was sold in the first place for something" like $30,000. Since the present company took the property, considerable development lias been done upon it, but very little authentic information has been given to the public concerning the result o"f the work done. Trial .shipments of ore have been packed out, but the*returns upon tJie same are not generally known. It has beeu claimed for the nroperty that assays have been had running all tiie way from $15 to $000 to the ton. The average value of tiie ore is supposed to be about $45 to the ton. ��� LOCAL NEWS AND GOSSIP. HARD ON THE PROSPECTOR. Payne mine Sloean Slar mine Hiiterprise mine.. Keeo mine Idaho mine Arlin.

In November next the term of lieutenant-governor Dewdney, of British Columbia, expires, and already the federal authorities at Ottawa are feeling tiie weight of local pressure for the appointment of his successor. Senator Mclnnes is supported in some quarters, but the bulk of Liberal influence in J3ritisli Columbia is being thrown in for Mr. Templeman, the unsuccessful Liberal candidate in* Victoria at the last general election. James .Woods, the murderer of S. M. Woods, was brought to Nelson this morning by Warden Armstrong, of the provincial jail at New Westminster, assisted.by deputies Burr and Dickenson. Superintendent Hussey, of the provincial police" accompanied the party. Woods will be executed in the jail yard on Wednesday morning shortly after 8 o'clock. Messrs. Breckenridge & Lund this morning signed their contracts for tiie construction of the head works at Anderson Creek, tiie flume to tiie reservoir and the reservoir. Work was commenced today. The contracts call for the completion of the work by October 1st. The Yukon's Fisheries. The Portland Oregonian says that gold may not be, after all, the chief wealth of tiie Yukon country, and adds that "the salmon has the curious faculty of adapting itself to the size of tiie stream it frequents. In the Sacramento river its average is sixteen pounds. In the Columbia it is 20 to 22 pounds. In tiie Yukon the salmon averages 40 pounds, fish have been taken weighing 1.80 pounds, while the largest Columbia catch was only a little over eighty pounds. If salmon canning should.'prove practicable and profitable on the great river of the north, the wealth taken from its waters might easily exceed tliat washed out of its sands. The Columbia river has yielded some $70,000,- 000 in fish products, and it is doubtful whether the Yukon will produce tliat value in gold. . ��� ��� Rossland Milk is Bad for Kids. The itossland Record: Some startJiug facts were brouglit forward today in an interview witli city pliysician McKenzie, about the number of infants that have died lately from cholera infantum. "The cases I attended," said the doctor,"were bottle fed, and I have no doubt two- thirds of the cases were fed from bottles." These are startling facts. It is plain that some of the milk has ingredients injurious to babies. "A Portland doctor, it will be remembered after analyzing some of Rossland's milk, declared that it contained enough foreign substance to kill a child in a short time. "Most of these children," said Dr. McKenzie, "died very quickly." A Tax on Tobacco Chewers. The stewards in the Methodist church at Albertsville, Alabama, finding their church revenues insufficient, have levied au annual tax of $10 on each -tobacco- chewing member of the congregation. The plan is said to work admirably and to bring in a goodly revenue. Another Honor For the Democrat. Sir Wilfr'd~~Laurier has been honored by the French government, and may hereafter wear the insignia of a grand officer of the Legion of Honor. The distinction was conferred upon him in connection witli his visit to President Kan re at Havre. _ Another Grit Job. One explanation of this Yukon excitement is that the Grit ministers at Ottawa have raised the cry in the desperate hope that their hungry followers will cease looking for jobs in theicivil service and go looking for gold in the Yukon. Mineralogist Carlyle in Favor of Requiring Performance of Work Before Recording. William A. Carlyle, provincial mineralogist, was in the city for a couple of days this week. He has recently completed an examination of the mineral showings in the Boundary district. He will spend the next ten days in looking over the prospects in the St. .Mary's district, going iu by way of Crawford Bay. As a result of professor Carlyle's tramp around the different- sections of West Kootenay, an amendment to'the mineral act may be expected during the uext session of the legislature. Throughout the entire district, but more especially in outlying sections, he has observed a' tendency on'tho part of claim owners to1 cheat the provision of. the mineral act dealing witli the performance of assessment, work upon claims! Though the present act is most liberal, in that it admits of the recording of locations before performingany development work whatever, there is a disposition on the part of of claim owners to shirk the annual assessment falling due within the year following tiie location of claims by a system of relocating. The effect of this is that large areas are staked off and no work is performed beyond the driving of the stakes. In one district���Trout Lake��� Carlyle;came across one individual who was holding sixty claims. These men are unable to do the necessary assessment themselves, and by evading the spirit of the act, they stand in the way of those who are willing and able to do the necessary development. This system naturally tends to retard all new districts. To overcome the difficulty, professor Carlyle is of the opinion that the mineral act should be amended, so that before a location can be filed in the record office, the locator of a claim should be required to perform one hundred dollars worth of work. As the opinion of Carlyle will no doubt have considerable weight with the minister of mines, some such amendment may be be made to the mineral act next session, unless professor Carlyle can be induced to change his mind in this respect before .the legislature meets again. While it is desirable that assessment work should be performed upon every claim held in the district, it is very much to be Jioped that some other system will suggest itself to the provincial mineralogist than the one proposed. There are very few individual prospectors who are in a position to do- $1.00 .worth, of work upon a claim before recording it. . Such an amendment would have a tendency to drive tiie individual prospector out of the business and hand over the mineral resources of the district to the wealthy syndicates sufficiently strong to meet the requirements of the act. M There are 100 .locations made to, one wliich turns out to be a valuable, prospect, and tiie percentage of those "which malce mines is even smaller. For '���'this; reason it would be manifestly unfair to require a prospector to perform anything like $100 worth of work before securing a right to record. As the law. stands at present, the act of discovery gives the prospector, v right to record and hold a claim for one year. He has therefore several months in which to secure 'the money necessary for assessment work or to dispose of his find to those who will do the work. A prospector may be out all summer and locate three or four claims. These finds, in their undeveloped state, represent his reward for his time and money spent in tlieii* discovery. He. certainly should have the right to record the same and dispose of them if he can. To debar him from doing so would be to drive him out of the business unless lie be a man of means, which is very rarely the case. _ There can be. no -question as to the existence of the abuse, complained of by the provincial mineralogist, but it may well be questioned whether the remedy he would apply for its cure would not be more detrimental to the district than the abuse itself. There cannot be too many prospectors in the hills. As a class, they are probably as poorly paid as any class of mechanics, and their calling is beset with dangers which men in other occupations are seldom called upon to face. It is to be regretted that the greed of some retards the development of' the mineral resources of tiie pro vince, but in .eeking to overcome this difficulty, the government should be careful not to. impose impossible conditions upon till prospectors save those who have strong financial backing. already grumbling because the bulk of tlieir golden harvest bids fair to be reaped by Americans-, and if we should set them llie example of a narrowly selfish policy on our sirle of the line, it would not take much persuasion to induce tln'in to follow it on theirs. Tho best thing lor both nations will be lo treat the Arctic gold- bearing region as 'one country,.as far as the laws will permit. Very likely the deposits on the American .ide of the boundary will be found to be as valuable as on the British side. A rule that works against one people today may work against the other tomorrow. If we start in tho beginning with the intention of giving everybody a fair chance we shall, save much trouble forall concerned." McPhee's Missing Angle-brace. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of James"^McPhee's angle-brace in company with George Stephenson on Tuesday, July 27th. was responsible for a police court case ou Monday, which employed magistrate Crease, chief Woolverton, lawyer Macdonald and four mechanics thegreater part of themorninginitsun- raveiling. The'evidence of McPhee and a mau who was with him in the electric light supply .house, was direct. They swore positively tliat the brace went out of the shop in Stephenson's left hand. Mc- Phee further cstated that lie thought Steplienson was borrowing the brace at the time. That he questioned him tho next day about it, when Stephenson denied having taken tiie brace. Lawyer Macdonald was building up a good case for tiie defence until Stephenson was put into the box to testify in his owu behalf, but lie managed to spiko his counsel's guns effectually. He said first that he?did not take the brace, but in a few minutes lie shifted around and said that he did not know whether he had taken it or not. He did not remember having taken it. If he had taken it he did not know what had became of it, and had not taken it with the intention of stealing it. The evidence was clearly against Stephenson, but as the men were in a manner.joint occupants of the building from which the brace was taken, magistrate Crease placed a very charitable construction upon Stephenson's action. He found him guilty, but allowed him to go on deferred sentence. The Police Report for July. Charles B. Woolvertou, chief of police, gives some very interesting figures in his report for the month of July. It showed during the month prosecutions were entered in 19 instances aud convictions obtained in -I-I cases, two prisoners being discharged for want of evidence, two prosecutions withdrawn and one case dismissed. Thecaleudar of offences wasmadeupas follows: Vagrancy, 10; drunk and disorderly, I-l; swearing ou street, 2: theft, 3; indecent exposure 1; giving liquor to drunkard, 1: infraction of Waterworks Jty-Iay, 2: trades licenses. 1; streets and sidewalks, 4: fire limits. 1: Animals Act. 1; disorderly conduct, 9. These offenders were assessed $351.10 in fines. The tax upon drunkenness and disorderly conduct was $-10, swearing upon the streets netted $28, indecent exposure $5, infractions of city bylaw's $95.10, and disorderly conduct $180. Five men were sentenced to terms of imprisonment at hard labor. One vagrant received one month, two thieves received one month each, and two drunks received ,14 and 7 days respectively. Twenty-nine arrests were made during the month, and 20cases prosecuted or summons. The Policy for tho Klondyke. Tiie New Vork Journal's patriotism is of a different brand from that of many of'.its contemporaries. If more of the newspapers in tiie United States were like the Journal in this respect, there would be little ill-feeling between tiie I'nited States and Canada. In a recent issue it says: "The American transportation ^interests on the Pacific are disturbed by the'action of the government in making Dyea a sub- port of entry, thereby enabling Canadian vessels to participate in the profits of the Vukon traffic. They think that this attractive business should have been wholly reserved for themselves. Their discontent will not be shared, however, by the general public, liven with the freest competition the ship owners will clear immense profits, entirely unexpected a few months ago, and the gold hunters will have difficulty in securing accommodations. Besides, it would be poor policy to display a grasping spirit with regard to the profits of transporting our people to the mines that lie wholly within Canadian territory. Retaliation would be too easy anrl effective. The Canadians are A Short Sighted Policy. The editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal does not agree with theeditor of the Victoria Province in saying tliat the federal government's contemplated policy in the Vukon is a wise one. In short, the editor of the Journal goes so sar as to say that the government would be making a mistake in following out the policy approved" so warmly by the Province, and sots out the following reasons: "The right of the Canadian government to make such regulations is unquestionable; the policy is doubtful. It was. of course, to be expected that the Canadian government would take measures to reimburse itself for the expenses of administration in the new district, and there is a plausible reason for a-departure, from, the policy of liberality in granting public mineral land for the purpose of developing the unsettled parts of the country, since it is likely that the Vukon district litis few. natural resources besides its .mines, and when the latter are exhausted .the district will be abandoned : but this looks only to the easily worked placer deposits and fails to take into account the lodes from whence they originated, which someday will require capital and industrial freedom for their exploitation." The Fogs of tho Klondyke. There is one danger about going to the Klondyke at this season of tJio year which not many people think of. One account says that the winter weather up there would not be so bad if it were not for the fogs. A physician was speaking of that yesterday, and he said: "That fog is the pogonip? that is, the air i.s filled with innumerable particles ot floating ice: just such an air as killed so many men in Hamilton, Nevada, and Leadville, Colorado, when the miners first went to those places. The altitude in the Nevada aud Colorado camps made what the latitude will make on tiie Upper Vukon, and it will not be strange if pneumonia becomes so prevalent that people will call il endemic, and in many cases the patients will not live two days after being attacked." A KNOT IN THE BY-LAW. What Section Three of, the Fire By-Law Means Is Much In Doubt. Police magistrate Crease on Monday dismissed the case against George. W. Brown, charged with violating the* fire limits by-law in erecting a frame building within the fire limits., The magistrate in dismissing tiie case held that the 'complaint had been laid prematurely. The evidence adduced did not clearly slm.* that the erection so far as it had proceeded was an infraction of seel ion'-! of by-law No. II.' Jn analyzing section three of the by-law under which the complaint was laid, the magistrate recited that it provides that no building shall be erected 'within tJie fire limits "unless its outside walls .shall be of brick or stone or material of like nature, and unless lhe party walls r.her. of are composed of brick, stone, etc.'' The section furt her provides thatall building; which shall or may hereafter be constructed or erected within the said fire limits, shall have front and rear walls of not less than one foot in thickrirss. and if any building shall be more t.han two stories in height (above the basement) the front aud rear walls of the basement of the first story shall not be less t.han six- teeu inches iu thickness, and the front- ancl rear walls of the stories above the second (that is the third story and so on) shall not be less than twelve inches in thickness." The magistrate pointed out that none but party and rear walls were dealt with in the above quotation, and that this peculiar feature presented itself: If a building of three or more stories be erected, the front and rear walls (nothing , being said as to side walls) of cue basement, must by the section be sixteen inches in thickness. What no doubt wa.s intended was that the walls of the first story above the basement should be that thickness, but the section clearly did not say so. Nothing was said in the part of the section just quoted as to the thickness of the walls of the first ancl second stories, but front and rear walls of the stories above the second (that is third or fourth as the case may be) shall not be less thun twelve inches thick, though inferentially from a foregoing part of the section these walls of the first and second stories should not be less than one foot in thickness. Side walls of any thickness might be erected to any height. The part of the section wliich deals . with foundations- docs not specify of what the walls shall consist, but they shall be six inches thicker. than tho-^o built upon them. This dimension conflicts with that of the rear tmd front walls of a basement. Statutes, and therefore by-laws, wliich take away a natural right must be read strictly. The evidence given in tiie case does not disclose the width of the sills which have been constructed, nor does it show what height, of building is to be erected. Something may yet be done to what is already built by the defendant Brown before a superstructure is added. The reference in section three to outside, party, rear and front walls isv to say the least, anything but clear. Nothing has been shown in the evidence as to what kind of a superstructure will be erected. Subsequent action of the defendant may disclose an infraction of the by-law, but this I have no power to deal with now. J dismiss this charge without costs. The action of the magistrate in dismissing this case does not help the defendant Brown in the least. His remarks upon the indeliniteness of section 3 of the bylaw, point to the necessity of having it redrawn, but in so far as prosecutions under the by-law go, they can be made under the second section, which requires every person putting up a building wit bin the fire limits to secure a permit before commencing work. Ne w pros- The The Drop In Silver. Silver went down to 57 cents in York on Thursday, and theie is no pect of tiny immediate recovery. London Standard, in commenting upon the decline, says: "It is. difficult to see where the decline will stop. Since Japan threw sil ver over then.' has beeu no outlet, for the production of the mines. India, might reopen her mint and relieve the monetary stringency in till her markets, but. her position is so bare financially that she must borrow money with which to do tliat. Nothing therefore is likely to be done." _ Why Clubs Pay No License. The city council of Chicago at its first meeting after the summer vacation is'expected to pass an ordinance, which has been-recommended by the license committee compelling all clubs where alcoholic liquors are sold to members or guests to take out a license at $500 a year. This is as it should be. In this province clubs are not obliged to pay a liquor license because the members of the Union club in Victoria objected to any police surveil- ance, and the cabinet ministers are all members of that club. Another American Gets a Contract. Contractor Ceorge Nelson has returned to Spokane from eastern Canada and left Thursday to commence work on the contract he has obtained with colonel T.J.

They appear to think that it precludes Americans from working in this province for wages. In this they will probably find themselves mistaken. The bill, as originally introduced iu the Canadian parliament, contemplated such exclusion of Americans, but before being passed this section appears to have been struck out. As printed in the eastern Canadian papers, the bill goes no further than the exclusion of citizens of the United States who at- ' tempt to enter the Dominion under contract. It is true that the government has taken steps to prevent citizens of the United States from securing employment upon the Crow's Nest Pass railway, but it will doubtless transpire that this is effected through an arrangement with the Canadian Pacific Railway company aud not through the enforcement of the alien labor act. The successive governments of the United States have given Canadians sufficient cause for passing the most stringent of laws against United States citizens working in Canada, but up to the present the Canadian parliament has gone no further than to exclude aliens coming into the country under contract. There not au illiberal clause in the Canadian alien labor act, and in this respect it differs from much legislation of the United States government upon the same subject. Tub editor of the Province works himself into a glow of admiration for the Laurier government over the announcement that the government has decided to reserve every alternate claim in the placer districts henceforth discovered in the territory of Athabasca, which includes the Klondyke. Although the Province refers to this as "broad-minded and far-sighted statesmanship," it-is not yet settled tthat the federal government will make any such move. The wisdom of it is,far from being beyond question. If it is desirable that the auriferous creek beds of Athabasca be worked, such a regulation must appear undesirable. It can hardly be said that it would encourage or promote mining. If there is a benefit in retaining one-half of the placer ground in the district, why not secure double the benelit by retaining it all, and shut out the individual prospector altogether? It can easily be seen that there would be grave difficulties encountered in enforciug auy such regulation. Iii addition, it would be unfair to those who have had the pluck to face the hardships of the Klondyke. If the government , wishes to secure a revenue from the placer miners, the best way is to impose a royalty upon the gold secured, it will be better for the "Klondyke and better for the government if the latter keeps out of the mining business. Had premier Turner proposed any such move with respect to provincial placer ground, it is doubtful if the Province would have seen so much merit in it. Alderman Ieut'/.fAj has given notice of his intention to introduce a by-law to provide for the payment of a salary to mayor Houston. Just what remuneration the council will vote remains to be seen, but the opinion is general that the corporation should pay a substantial salary. The maximum salary allowed under the municipal act is $2000 per annum, and the alderman may fix any sum they like up to this amount, ft is not likely that any salaries will be voted to the aldermen. The city is not in a position to pay salaries sufficiently high to compensate, the aldermen for their services, and for this reason the present council is likely to set- its successors an example by voting no salary at all. It is manifestly to the interest, nf the city, and the council should make it worth one man's while to give practically his whole time to the service of the city. This cannot be done if the money is divided and sab-divided until it oilers no siiblantial reward for service .whatever. The business of the corpora: tion is like the business of any private citizen, iu as much as it ���requires constant attention. The citizens cannot expect this if they do uot pay i'or it. Au. the contracts for the performance of work in connection with the new waterworks system have been let, and actual work upon the same will be commenced at once. These contracts aggregate !ftl I,- .'..!, and engineer- McCulloch is of the opinion,that the corporation has secured very good figures upon the work. To this total there is yet to be added the cost of the pipe and other materials necessary for distribution system throughout, the city. Thi*. together with the amount, paid i'or thu purclia.-u and imprnvt .n-.it of the present system will, it is thought, bring the total charge for waterworks up to ..'"2.000. The tenders for pipe and other materials will be opened on Tuesday. Al.DKit.MAN Dow has given notice of his intention to introduce several very desirable by-laws at the next meeting of the city council. They include a by-law to license and regulate the sale of milk, providing suitable tests for the same, and a* by-law to provide for the sale and weight of all bread sulci within the city, and a by-law to license and regulate wood and coal dealers. Although the necessity for these by-laws is manifest, it is hot to be assumed that the people engaged in these businesses in Nelson are any worse than those engaged similarly in any other place. Jn all cities of any size it has been found necessary to protect the public from frauds common to such lines of business. Jf those so engaged in Nelson do not adulterate their milk, weigh their bread light, and measure their cord-wood short, the by-law will protect them, and should be wei-, corned by them as cheerfully as it will be by the consumers. Ii-1 the editor of the Kootenaian will persist in saying that there is no difference between the sentence which he published as clipped from Tino Trirune, and the sentence as it appeared in The Tribune ol: July 17ch, it will be difficult for The Tribune to convince him that he is a liar. For the same reason it will be difficult to convince him that he is an ass. For the benefit of the Kootenaian's readers, the sentence as it appeared in Tin. Tribune, and as it was misquoted in the Kootenaian, is reproduced: As it appeared . in Tut: Titus... e : ".lust' what affinity exists between M c- Ivor" Tyndall and the millionaires, is left a matter for conjecture, as is also the distil .ec which intervenes .between he and them." . As il was mis'iuoted in the Kootenaian:' "'.Just what affinity exists between Metvor Tyndall and the millionaires, is left u matter for conjecture, as is also the difference that exists between he and them." It is reported that orders have been issued to the mounted police in the territory of Athabasca to prevent all miners who have not one year's provisions with them from crossing the Canadian border into the Klondyke. This action on the part of the police is no doubt taken to prevent suffering from famine. , Many of those who have started for the gold fields have had but one idea, and that was to reach the gold diggings. To these people supplies were a secondary consideration. To admit them would be to invite famine, not only to themselves but to those who had taken the precaution to bring in their own provisions. .Chief .iustice Da. lis is not the only judge who has neglected to respect the dignity of the grand jury and has suffered thereby. Last week judge Owers read the riot act to a grand jury in Leadville, Colorado, urging them, to indict certain officials for neglect of duty. The jurors resented the action of the judge by bringing in two indictments against judge Owers himself, and there is something of a sensation progressing in that section at present. _._ Iris again announced that justice Mc- C.eight will shortly retire from the bench on account of his inability to hear. It is said that the failing justice will not.take any new cases, but will content himself with winding up the business wliich he has in hand. .1 ustice JMcCreighfc was deaf enough to have retired a year ago. ^ IT IS IMPORTANT All persons wishing to visit the Goat River, Duck Creek, Summit Creek, Fort Sheppard, Priest Lake, or Fort Steele Mining Districts should know that by taking the Steamer Alberta or Ainsworth for Ockonook, Idaho, ancl purchasing their supplies of the old reliable .Ockonook General Store, they will get their goods at Spokane retail prices and be from 20 to 50 miles nearer the above named districts than at any other supply point on the Kootenai River.

Whereas it is deemed expedient for the better protection of the citizens and property against lire that a by-law should be passed regulating the erection, maintain- nnce.-ind use of all wires und emiipmcufs that maybe urif.il within the City of Nelson for the purpose of conducting-electricity I'or lighting houses and premises within the limits of the city. Th rcforc be if enacted by the municipal council of t.he Corporation of the City of Nelson as follows: 1. That the municipal council may by resolution from tin ii.* lo I.i i ue appoint, an inspeclor of wires and buildings al such salary as maybe thought lit. whose duties it, shall In- to sec that the regulations ronlainod in I his by law arc enforced and carried out. 2. That all wires and equipments that may be creeled und maintained in connection with the electric lighting of any buildings und premises within the limits of the City of Nelson shall be conducted, arranged andmaintained in accordance with the following rogulntions, that is to say: (I). That the conducting .wires,shall be of copper, and shall ha ve a weight per running foot al, least equal lo thai of the wire (or parallel' groups of wires) constituting the main circuit of the magnetic regulator of the electric lamps (arc lamps), or of the armature of the machine employed, whichever of these is the greatest. (2). All joints on wires shall 'be so made as to secure perfect and durable contacts, which shall always maintain a. degree ur conductivity ul the joint at least equal lo that of ilu* wire generally. ('!). The joint shall be so made as in the ordinary "telegraph splice," lhut il is mechanically secure against motion and displacement, aud shall then be further electrically coniieeled hy soldorsoapplied as to leave no corrosive or otherwise injurious substance ou llic connection. After joining and soldering the joint shall be covered with insulating material in such a way as lo make the- insulation of flic joint as good as that of the rcsl of the line. (I). A joint made bv the process of electric welding would be the equivalent of one made as indienfed above, hut no joint depending upon solder for its nie- oluuiieal integrity, either wholly or in part, will he allowed. (51. Outside "drop" wires shall he covered wilh at , least two coatings, one of insulating material, impervious to wafer, next lo the wire, und the oilier of some substance lit ted to resist, abrasion or like mechanical injury, and shall be llrmly secured to substantial approved insulators adequately supported. I(j). Overhead conducting wires shall be supported on poles as far as possible, so (lull they can bo readily reached for inspect ion, and when this cannot be done, and special permit is granted allowing I hem lo be curried over or at llchod lo buildings, they shall be'supported al least seven feel above the general level of lhe roof, and a I. least one fool above lhe ridge of "pilch roofs." (7). When wires approach buildings to enter them they must be so lorn led as not to lie readily reached by the occupants of such buildings, and, in the ease of arc light systems, must maintain a', minimum distance of ten inches apart, except where the wires are carried in ��� conduits. , (S). When these exterior electric light wires are near other conductors of any kind capable of carrying oil'a part of the current if contact should bo made, dead insulated guard irons shall be placed so as to prevent such contact in case of accidents aH'ccting lhe wires or 'their supports. ..(111. Like precautions shall be taken where acute angles occur in the line wires. (10). Overhead wires from the main circuit or pole lines in the street to the insulators attached to the buildings which they enter shall not be less than ten inches apart from arc wires, or six inches from incandescent wires carrying 'currents of 25(1 C. M. I. as a maximum. They shall be securely and rigidly supported to insulators of glass, porcelain or other approved material. (II). Wherever electric. light wires enter buildings through their exterior walls the wires shall be firmly supported mid encased in tubes of non-conducting' ina- lerial not liable to absorb moisture, and so placed as to prevent the entrance of rain wafer along the wires (e. g., the tubes sh.Ml slope upwards as thev puss inward through the wall). . i , *> (12). Moth the ingoing and returning wires.Where arc lights are .-supplied, must, enter the buildings at the same location, and pass through an approved manual "eut-oul-box" or switch, which shall be placed where if shall be of easy access fo liremen and the police. (l.'il. In the interior of buildings wires for arc lights, besides being covered with an insulating covering, such as lias already been described, shall iu all cases be securely attached and supported by insulators, which shall keep them out of contact with any wall, partition, coiling, o'- floor, so as to secure an air space of at least one-quarter of an inch between the wire and any adjacent wall, partition, floor or ceiling, and wherever the wires cro.-s or come near to any other wires, pipes or oilier conductors, the wires shall be rigidly secured and .separated from each otlier, orany other conductor.-, by means of sonic rigid non-conducting material. (III. Arc wires of opposite polarities (i.e., the incoming and outgoing wires from eacli lamp, or of each circuit), shall be kept at a distance of not less than eight inehes from each other, except within the .structure of lumps or on switch boards, cut mil boxes or llic like where a nearer approach is necessary. (15). In exceptional cases, however, where the wires are so rigidly secured and insulated that contact or connection between Litem is'quite impi issibl . they may be allowed to approach much nearer (e. g., if each wire or conductor is covered with a thick and indisplacea- blo insulation, which, in turn, is covered,'-by a leaden sheath or pipe, and then two or more such pipes arc enclosed in tin iron pipe in such a manner- that injury iothe load covered cables is imjiossible. this would be an allowable .substitute for the eight inches of absolute separation called for in the general rule). (HI). Whenever wires are carried through walls, partitions or Moors within a building they shall be surrounded by a special rigid insulating tube or casing impervious to water, and shall be so attached and supported as to be secure from abrasion or otlier mechanical injury. Note: (Soft rubber tubing will not meet, the above r-ciuiremcnf.s a.s an insulator). (17). The exterior frames and other expo.-cd parts of are lumps shall be securely insulated from the electric circuit, and all such lamps shall have glass globes surrounding the light, anil inclosed below so aslo prevent the fallmgof ignited particles. Where inflammable materials are placed below such lamps the globe shall be surrounded by a wire netting capable of keeping the parts of the globe in place if it is fractured in use. (IS). In show windows and otlier places where in- Ihimmable materials are displayed, and in factories and wood-working establishments where "flyings" may be present in the air. each arc lamp.", mil be provided witli a "-park-arrester.". (I!)). .Each arc lamp shall be provided with a hand switch, and also with an automatic switch,Which shall shunt the current round the carbons before the arc between them reaches a dangerous length. . (20). In the distribution of the conductors through buildings, "concealed work," such as the placing of wires under floors or within partitions, walls, or ceilings, shall be avoided a.s much as possible: but in no case shall a wire of ii less .size than No. 12 gauge be used in "concealed work." (21). In perfectly and .securely dry localities an approved insulated wire without water proof' covering may be used, provided the wires are not. concealed, and are supported by cleats or insulators. (22).

Harry Sheran is back from California. Harry is now traveling as a capitalist, and is on tiie lookout i'or likely prospects. He says he can see as i'ar into rock as any expert that ever wore leggings, and is not afraid to try conclusions with any of them. ���' At the special sitting of the county court hold by .judge Korin on Tuesday, the case nf Barnard vs Jowett was enlarged till tho 2(ith instant. This is an action brought by F. S. Barnard against \V. A. Jowett, to secure the payment of a 'promissory note for something like $-300. Spokane has but,,ohe rival in Kootenay fighting it for commercial supremacy, that rival is Nelson. The rival, although young, leads Spokane already as a money center. One of its banks (the Bank of Montreal) has issued more money since starting than all the national banks of Spokane put together; another (tho Bank of British Columbia) carries a larger specie reserve that any three banks in Spokane: More: The three banks doing business in southern Kootenay, namely, the Bank of Montreal, the Bank of British Columbia, and the Bank of British North America, have deposits that aggregate more than the aggregate of all the banks iu the state of Washington, east of the Cascade mountains. During the thirty-one days immediately preceding the closing down of the small copper furnace at the Hall Alines smelter, ������"... 5 tons of ore were smelted. This yielded .1. tons of matte, whicli contained approximately IM' tons of copper, 81,800 ounces silver and SI ounces gold. The geueral annual meeting of the shareholders of the Nelson Electric Light company will be held in the company's office in this cits' on Monday, September Oth, at 2 o'clock. Reports of the officers for the past year will be received, and directors appointed for the ensuing year. C. W. West has commenced work upon a. two-story stoue building upon his lots on east Baker street. The building will have a frontage of 00 feet on Baker street aud will be arranged for stores and offices. It will be the lirst stone building erected in tlae city by private enterprise. The city, lock-up and municipal offices, now in course of erection on Victoria street, will have the distinction of being the first stoue building completed in the city. W. A. Macdonald, Q. C, and A. M. Johnson have formed a law partnership. The firm of Macdonald 6c Johnson has the makings of a strong combination and for brains and cheek will be hard to beat. The Nelson Electric Light Company, Limited, is making extensive improvements and additions to its plant. A 3-1- inch wooden pipe is being laid from the dam to the penstock. The dam is to be improved so that the water of the creek may be stored during the day time, thus giving adequate power when required for lighting purposes. At the power house another water wheel will be put in as well as two 750 light machines. This will give the company a capacity of oOOO lights. It is now announced that the Denver Smelting company will locate its sampling works at .Itosebery, on the Nakusp & Slocan, instead of Nakusp, as contemplated. The company has secured an eight acre site, in return for which it has entered into a contract to erect a mill with a capacity of 100 tons per day. The mill is to be in running order by December 1st. A promising strike was made on the Gold Standard claini last week. The property is located about a mile northeast of the Silver King group on Toad mountain. A four foot ledge of gold bearing ore has been discovered, which appears to be free milling. The claim has been held for about a year, and the iind was made in doing assessment work. The Gold Standard is owned by the Misses Scarlett and others of this city. ' ' Dr. G. A. B. Mall has rendered professional assistance at Hi births since January, 10 of the children being boys and six girls. The two latest births were, Mrs. Truan a son, ou Saturday morning, and Airs. Jeffrys, a son, on 'Monday. Ou Tuesday a woman, giving her name a.s 'Vivian Jones, was fined $10 with, the option of spending two months in jail, i'or keeping a house of ill-fame on Victoria street. Lilly Harvey, an inmate of the same house, was fined $10, with three weeks' imprisonment in case of default. Frederick Slattery, a drunk, was fined $3 on Tuesday. Larry AIcAIahon. a vagrant, was allowed to go on suspended sentence on account of his illness. "Billy" Perdue, who has had his share of hard work in supplying the people of southern Kootenay with beef, has disposed of all his interests in Rossland, and leaves for. the Klondyke gold fields in a few days. He will take in 72 head of beef cattle and ten horses, going by way of the Dal ton trail. Isaac Jlolden has purchased an interest in the Hotel Slocan at Slocan City. In all contracts for city work in connection with the waterworks and sewerage systems, there is a clause requiring contractors to pay at least $2.7)0 per day for labor.

The city pound by-law and the dog tax by-law appear to have been lost sight of by the municipal authorities. No attempt has so far been made to collect dog taxes, aud the owners of horses are allowed to let them run. at large through the city streets during the night. Charles IL Sealey is making good progress with the assessing of the property within the municipality! The work is not yet sufficiently advanced to make any close estimate as. to the aggregate value of the real property and improvements within the corporate limits. Another shipment of 21 tons was made from the Athabasca mine to the Hall Alines smelter this week. The returns upou the same will be known next week. The Howard Fraction group has another shipment of ore on the way to the Hall Alines smelter. Colonel Baker, provincial secretary and minister of mines, is expected to arrive in. Nelson next week. An effort will be made by local sports to bring the colonel and the chief commissioner together ancl secure their respective opinions of each other. The contract for the construction of the provincial jail has not yet been awarded, as the government has not decided upon the site. The government has a chance here to please the people of Nelson or to please the government agent. It is only with a lew governments that the issue would be in doubt. O. G. Dennis, the newly appoiuted gold co .jmissioner, came up from Kaslo this morning. Dennis will remain in charge of the assessor's office at Kaslo until his successor arrives. He has not heard who will get the office rendered vacant by his promotion. SLOCAN MINING NOTES. The American Boy shipped "58 tons of concentrating ore to the Noble Five concentrator last week, and on Monday it sent forward 17 tons of clean steel galena to the smelter. The clean ore averaged 127) ounces silver, and 70 per cent lead. It is said that the American Boy will make regular shipment in future. It is rumored here that the Enterprise will probably purchase the Iron Horse, in order to get greater depth in working the Enterprise lead. The Neglected, situated on the lake shore half a mile southeast of New Denver, was sold this week to S. T. O wings of Moscow, Idaho, the purchase price being $700. It is said that the Vancouver owners of quarter interest in the Two Friends group, are serving a restraining injunction on the other proprietors, to have them ease working the group. . The Wonderful Group Alining company on July 31st received a check from the Taeoma Smelting 6c Refining company for $17) 11.17, returns from 10 tons of ore, which assayed 70 per cent lead and 123 ounces in silver, and netted, exclusive or duty, $00.02 per ton. On August 3rd they received from the Kootenay Ore company of Kaslo, a check for $1051.2<S, returns from 1*1 tons of ore, which assayed 73 pet- cent lead and 124 ounces silver, and netted, exclusive ol duty, $02.5.") per ton. Last week a payment, of $10,000 was made on the $00,000 bond on the Alpine group on upper Lemon creek. The property was bonded last fall, from Max Heck- man, W. II. Crawford, II. Stege, Chas. Koss and Herman Clever. It has been worked steadily with a force ol 10 or 12 men, and has a 78-foot tunnel on the lead, which shows about 0 feet ot pay ore, running in gold. AINSWORTH NOTES. The owners of the Ainsworth and Nelson group have sent a small party up to their property to commence development. The claims are situated at the head ot Kokanee creek. Work has been commenced upon the concentrator wliich is being built in connection with the Highland mine. The mil! will be located at the mouth of Cedar creek. It will have a capacity for treating 200 tons of crude ore per day, aud will run altogether on Highland ore. Those interested in t.he new venture are E. IX Carter, H. A. Bright, Scott McDonald and T. J. Lendrum. i* The management of the Black Diamond has commenced shipping concentrating ore to the Woodbery creek concentrator. About 200 tons were sent forward during the past two or three days. Encouraging reports are received from the Olson claim. The shaft is now down 30 feet and is in ore all the way. The ledge appears to be about three feet wide. Assays made from surface croppingsgave returns of 100 ounces silver. No assays have been made recently. 1. C. <Ji.-UIBI.il . J. p. .M. lli-l. ('. f.. -M. Can. S.H-. C. K. M. Am. Sir. t'. U. I*. I..

Title | The Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-08-07 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited 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. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
