Tho sale litis been completed ixud all arrangements made for the paying over of the first cash instnll- nieiit. The parties to the transaction, including Winslow Hall and John McDonald, will leave the Old Country for home this week. The deal is reported to be a good one for all parlies in interest, and it is certainly a. good one for Nelson, for the mine will not only give employment to hundreds of men -when in operation, but hundreds of men will be employed indoing preparatory work for months before oie can be extracted to advantage. Day isal last dawning for our people. Calgary, and followed up the construction of th-i Canadian I'aeifie through the Rockies until .Donald was reached. There he remained, and i'or several years ran a general store and a hotel iu partnership with ll. A. Kempton, under tin: firm name of J. C. Steen <fe Co. Tho partnership was dissolved in 11.SO, Mr. Steen retaining the hotel and wholesale liquor part of the business and Mr. Kempton the general merchandising pari;. In 181.0, along with Dan Robinson, he bought out a shingle mill at Revelstoke and added a. saw and planing-iuill plant. They did a. large business, but were burned out last winter. Last fall he leased his hotel at Donald and disposed of his wholesale 'liquor business to (.. A. Bigelow 6c Co. of Nelson, of which firm he was a member. Mr. Steen wa.s in Montreal antl Mas torn Canada the greater part of the winter, and only returned a few weeks before, his death. lie wa.s a. good business man, although very eccentric. A few days before his death he made a will, leaving all his property to a. sister. ' ._. A RADICAL CHANGE NEEDED. The Nelson Carries the Broom. There is no little rivalry between'the partisans of the new American steamboat .State of Idaho and the backers of the liritish bottom steamboat N'elson, now that the former is running between Bonner's Kerry and Kaslo. The Americans around Kaslo to a man back the State of Idaho simply because it is the handiwork of their countrymen. Half the Canadians there dothe same thing because they do not like the management of tho com pan v that owns the Nelson. Last Monday both boats left Kaslo at about the same time, the N'elson havinga few minutes the start. The run. to I'ilot Bay showed that they were pretty evenly matched, although the machinery of tho State of Idaho did not- Avork as smoothly as wished for. The Nelson, however, ran into Bonner's Ferry, "with a brand new broom lashed to the Jack-staff and a tow line hanging over her stern. Naturally, the people of Nelson favor the boat named after the town because she was built here of timber cut at our mills. Again: They are just a trifle stuck on the builder of the Nelson, a Mr. Stevenson of Portland, who is.a, Canadian by birth. May the best boat "win, so long as the lives of passengers are not endangered, and may that boat always be the Nelson! Canada.against .the world! The Separation Question. Revelstoke Star, (ith: "The people of Revelstoke did not tumble over each other in their haste to sign the separation petition, as they do not believe it will increase the importance of this province by cutting the island adrift. As for the government, it is conceded that its -members have waxed fat, rich, and arrogant upon the spoils of,office. I3ut it seems cowardly to runaway from the island to get rid of the government. Rather let us adopt the constitutional method of voting them out of power at the election next year, and to this end let everyone entitled to vote (any British subject twelve months in the pro- A'ince) see to it that his name is on the voters.' list. The separation nioAreinent ought to be, and will be, a dismal failure.." The Queen's Birthday at Kaslo. The seventy-fourth birthday of Her Majesty Queen Victoria is to bo celebrated at Kaslo after the American style. It is not definitely known who will be the orator of the day, but it is believed that E. E. Coy will be ready with an original poem,-en titled, "I Quit Yon Cold; or. Why I Became a British Subject." After the literary exercises there Avill bo the usual program of sports, including horse racing. The attendance will be largo, as no other town in the lake country will have a formal celebration. Made the Bun in Ten Hours. The State of Idaho left Bonner's Ferry yesterday morning at f> o'clock and made the run to Kaslo in ten hours. She had fifteen passengers and a general cargo of freight. The Spokane arrived an hour later than the State of Idaho with eight passengers and a. fair freight list. The Spokane then ran down to Nelson and- took aboard live carloads of freight for Kaslo, having received permission to do so by the customs authorities. An Eccentric Business Man. In the death of A. C. Steen, Kootenay district lost one of its best known business men, as well as a citizen of marked indi- A'iduality. Mr. Steen was born on a farm near Farran's Point, Storniout county, Ontario, in the early ~>0s, and lived in that neighborhood until ISSO, following the business of merchandising and trading. In 18S0 lie went to the lead mines in Southwest Missouri; thence back again to Stormont county. In 1882 he came west, and for a time was engaged at ranching near Edmonton, Alberta. Tiring of that pursuit, he started a small store at Regular Sessions of Court Should be Held in Every District. British Columbia, for its population, has more judges than any other province iu the Dominion of Canada. Manitoba with a population of 150,000 has eight judges, while British Columbia, with a population of 100,000 has nine. The legal business of Manitoba must of a. certainty be equal to that of British Columbia. Yet. no word of complaint is heard that the judges of that province are oA*er- Avorked. Certainly the judges of this province are not overworked, for it is almost impossible to get one of them to hold a sitting of court outside of Victoria, where most of them reside. The people might be thankful for this, as when the judges do make a trip io."*interior towns like Nelson they take up much more time in relating experiences had in Cariboo than they do in transacting the business for which they are paid. But this is neither here nor there, for many of their old-time experiences are more interesting than their latter-day decisions. Tlie question is, do they neglect the business for Avhich they are paid'**. Are the business interests of the country fairly dealt with? The Tkiihjxk believes not. There is little or no criminal business to transact, but there is considerable-civil business.- Can any good reason beach'anced Avhy the civil business originating in .Koolenay should be heard in Victoria? Tt would be just as reasonable to ask that civil business originating in Victoria be hearcl_ in Nelson. Yet, business men living in Nelson are liable to be summoned to appear at Victoria to defend actions that originate in Nelson. This is an injustice that should be remedied. A case in point: A Nelson merchant ordered a consignment of bacon from a wholesale house in Vancouver. The bacon was rotten when it arrived at Nelson and tlie Nelson merchant refused to accept it. The Vancouver wholesaler began suit, not at Nelson, where Avitnesses as to the condition of the bacon could easily be procured, but at VaucouA'er, Avhere no witnesses were on hand. The writ wa.s served at a time last Avinter 'when it was impossible for the defendant to make answer in the time required by law, owing to the uncertainty of the mail facilities. Judgment was given iu default, and now the Nelson merchant and his witnesses are required to appear in Vancouver on the 10th instant���when the case will be heard on its merits���the very day that a session of court is being held at Nelson. These ���'snap" judgments issued against inland people by the supreme court judges sitting in Victoria or Vancouver are an outrage and should not be permitted. Sessions of court should be held at regular intervals in every district in the province, and civil cases should be heard only in the district in wliich they originate. A Caucus, Not a Meeting. While in Nelson, the leaders of the Kaslo contingent of the South Kootenay Board of Trade openly and reservedly repudiated William Baillie, saying that he Avas uot authorized to speak for the business men of Kaslo: yet these same leaders attach their names to his report of the proceedings of that meeting to give it authenticity; a report that winds up with the following words: Another interval in the proceedings oeeurred, uft'T which liaillio arose and su d: "I draw the attention of the members to the fact that neither the president, the vice-president nor any member of the council board is presold., and I move that !(. Y. (ircen be elected chairman pro tern," seconded by .1. (!. lhivenport and carried unanimously. .1. I..

M.. al. tin. hotel Slocan, Kaslo, for the transaction of unfinished or any other business l.hal. may come before the nieel ing. Carried. The meetiuK then adjourned. The truth of the matter is, the proceedings reprinted above took place an hour or so after the adjournment of the regular session of the board, and not in the board room, but in the Phair hotel, three blocks distant. Fifteen of the thirty-nine members whose names are signed to the report were not in Nelson at the time, therefore could know nothing of the proceedings except from heresay. The proceedings printed above wore of a caucus of the Kaslo delegation in the Phair hotel, and not of a meeting of the South Kootenay Board of Trade. ,__ Assize Court. Sittings of the assize court will be held at Nelson ou the AOth instant and at Kaslo on the 2nd of .June. As there are but few criminal cases the sittings will not last long at either place. ROADS AND TRAILS. Money Available to Put Them in Good Repair. Mr. Fitzstubbs, assistant commissioner of lands and works, returned to Nelson from Trail Creek this week, lie states that there is enough money available to keep all the roads and trails iu West Kootenay in good repair until tho general appropriations tire available on July 1st. For the lower or Nelson part of tho district some $1000 have boon set ap'irt, and (.ver $2000 for the upper or Revelstoke section. A road .superintendent will have immediate direction of the Avork, and as he is a man of experience and notan idler the best results may bo looked for. .Archibald Cameron will be the superintendent. Mr. Cameron is now talcing a look at the Nakusp trail, and whatever work is needed ou it will be done at once. John Sanderson,'" another good man, litis been employed as foreman. He left Nelson on Wednesdey to put the trail up Slocan river in good shape, as it is the best trail into the Slocan country for the early Aveeks of spring on account of its dryness, road of the citizens' committee of that place, tho government merely paying properly authenticated orders .'drawn by the committee, it being expressly understood that none of the $10,000 appropriated should go towards paying old accounts against that road. Mr. Fitzstubbs,. says that if work has been suspended on the road, it is through no fault of his, as he notified the responsible parties tha.t he would honor their drafts. The Toad Mountain road will also be put iii.repair, as will be the one at Ainsworth. but the cost of the Avork will be merely nominal. When the general appropriations are' available, money will be expended in aiding the building of a wagon road from Trail Creek to the mines in that district. The work on the road is already under way Avith funds provided by private parties. Hereafter the assistant commissioner will personally look the country over before beginning work on either roads or trails, as in the past he has been deceived by the misrepresentations of interested parties. ALMOST A REALITY. The work on the Kaslo Avagon is left entirely in the hands NEW DENVER NOTES. May 5th.���Died, at the head,of Slocan lake, Mrs. Thorburn. mother! of Grant Thorburn. aged 72 years. The remains Avere brought to New Denver and buried near those of Jack Evans, whose resting- place is unmarked by a headstone. His old partners and friends should not allow his grave to be so neglected. From the Mountain Chief it is reported that a large and rich body.of ore has been struck in the loAver tunnel. This property, which is fast becoming one of the best in the district, is almost within sight of the town, ti fact of which we tire constantly reminded day and night by the reports of the blasts. Bob McTaggart's lease of the sawmill opposite the town has.terminated, and he has a. raft of lumber containing some 00,000 feet off the shore here. Sam Crestou, who returned from Trail Creek a few days ago, reports... that the prospects there are very bright. Sam. representing-outside capital as well as the interest he has retained in the Edison, took down-several men to open up'that property. The Edison is situate on the highest -point of what i.s known as the "Galena Farm," one and one-half miles south of Four Mile creek and about the same distance from Slocan lake,;has a quantity of clean, high-grade ore, and there can be but little doubt from the float which has been found lower down that when the main ledge is shown up it Avill prove to be an exceptionally big one. The ore assays over 150 ounces per ton in silver and runs over 70 pur cent lead. William Hunter has a gang of men working at Four Mile City, and work has been started on J. ���Fred Hume's new building. Those who can spare the time are having rare sport with the fish. The trout .���ire .rising well to the fly. Char though not giving so much sport as the trout are taking the spoon readily, and some good fish have been landed in lirst-class condition. Trails to New Dojiver. Anthony Madden luis it pack train of twenty animals on the Slocan liiver trail, and says lit! will pack supplies from the railroad to the steamboat landing on Sk>- ctiii lake for A cents a pound I'or large lots and Al cents a .pound for small lots. The rate "from Nelson to New Denver will therefore l.e about Al cents a pound for- large and I cents for small lots. Over the Nakusp trail the lowest i'lite is said to be 'I cents a pound to head of the lake and 4\ vents to New Denver. The road itnd trail from Kaslo is hardly practicable for animals, anrl will not be until the snow disappears from Bear Lake divide. The Local Steamboat Service. Iii one way, the steamboat service on Kootenay lake was never better than at present; in another way, it was never worse. The service between Kaslo and Bonner's Ferry i.s a daily one. anrl more than itinpie lor the traffic. The service between Nelson and points on the lake is also a daily one: that is, up one day ami back the 'next. In making a round trip between Nelson and Kaslo. a distance of ninety iniles, two days are required the same time as is reepiircil in making a round trip between Nelson and Bonner'.-. Ferry, .a distance of 100 miles. A Prediction Made a Few Years Ago by a Ranchman. Along in the early SOs captain F. I\ Armstrong of Golden was workinga small ranch in the upper Kootonay country along with a partner. The transportation facilities between his ranch antl the Canadian Pacific, on the north were by .means of rowboats or pack animals; to the Northern Pacific tothesouth, by pack animals only. This did not suit Armstrong, anrl he often remarked that he ���would see the day when he would run a steamboat clear through from Golden to Fort Steele. Although several years have elapsed since these remarks were first made*, the steamboat route is still a question of the future: but captain Armstrong has been at Avork, nevertheless, to make his predictions good. He has, with the assistance of friendly capitalists, built steamboats antl tramways, and within a. month the traveler from Golden to Fort Steele need not travel by any conveyance other than tranicar or steamboat. A tramway of standaad guago litis been built betAveon the Canadian Pacil'"- depot tit Golden and the steamboat lai di ig on the Columbia river, adistance of a mile or more. A steamboa.t runs thence to the head of tho Lower Columbia lake, 105 miles. - A narrow-gunge tramway has been built between the Upper and Loavci* Columbia lakes, a distance of five miles. A steamboat is run on the upper lake, and when the Grohman canal, whicli connects the upper lakoAvith the Kootenay river, this boat or another one will be run through to Fort Seeele, a disla-ncc of -15 iniles, or a total distance of 105 iniles from Golden. A dredge is now being built at Golden tt) be used in deepening the channel of the river, and it is expected that this will be the last year that any difficulty will be had tit such places as the salmon betls at the outlet of the lower lake. Captain Armstrong is manager of the company operating the tram ways aud boa ts. Predicting Annexation. We remember, "when at. Donald a. few years ago, Ave predicted that Canada would be annexed to the United States during president Harrison's term of oflice. As our prediction did not come true, Ave have quit making predictions. The following, however, is tho prediction of another newspaper man on the same question: "I make the prediction tlmt before the end of the century the Canadian provinces will be stittes of ,the Ainericrn He- public. This may seem a bold prophecy to people who do not Iciioav how rapidly public'sentiment-is changing on this question in'Canada. If the change goes on as rapidly during the next seven years as it has during the past-seven, union Avill be an accomplished fact by the year 1000. The active .opposition now conies from three classes of people���-lirst, those of "English or Scotch birth or parentage, who are strongly attached in sentiment to the mother country; second, the politicians and place-holders, who have it personal interest in continuing'-the [.resent colonial condition: third, the protected manufacturers, who fear they could not compete on even terms with the manufacturers of the states. Against these classes the farmers and merchants are beginning to show* their hands, hesitatingly and tentati\rely, here and there, but with steadily increasing confidence and courage. They begin to believe that- union must come sooner or later, and they would like to experience the benefits of the change in tlieir own day." Ur/freezable Dynamite. The apparent carelessness of many. Workmen in bilking, boiling, or toasting dynamite, as a means of thawing it, is explained in it recent paper to the American Institute of Mining Engineers. Small quantities of explosives continuing nitroglycerine burn quietly when ignited by direct contact with flame, and this has led to the dangerously mistaken idea that merely heating flit.; explosive can do no harm. If a dynamite cartridge is ignited or placed in the lire it will prohablv burn harmlessly away, but if gradually heated on :i stove to ���'-���IO' or 1(10' Fnhr. a violent explosion is almost certain to result, anrl even before this temperature! is reached the dynamite is extremely sensitive to shock. Liebert has made dynamite proof against cold by adding isoaniylie nitrate. This lowers tie free/.ing point'- from 10 above zero to 50 below, ami while slightly increasing the explosive; power also slightly eliiiiiiiishes the sensitiveness to shock. bv the French iinel their' Indian allies. l_is scheme wa.s accepted antl proved a brilliant success.

CONTRACTOR LARSON ON THE GROUND LETTING SUB-CONTRACTS. To View the Colossal Displays at the Chicago World's Fair. Are you going to' the great World's Fair at Chicago? li so you should plan your time carefully to get the best results from your visit-. If you tire of the lucky few avIio have plenty of time and plenty of money you should arrange fo .stay at least a month anel see the whole vast show in detail. Even then there will be much that you will be compelled te> miss. A world's fair i.s all civilization condensed iinel displayed. Vou can study all nations in their arts, tlieir industries, their inventions, itnd their domestic life. It is in fact the Avhole world boiled down, with all that is most interesting, most novel antl most instructive displayed for your benelit. If your time is limited and your purse is not long, then you should carefully practice elimination, making up your mind what you can best afford te> skip. See what interests you most but don't fail to see thoroughly t'we) lines of exhibits. First, see whatever will be of practical benelit to you in your own calling or oc- cupatiou. If you are a farmer-see thoroughly all farm products and farm' implements.' If you are a teacher see all the educational exhibits. If you are a mechanic study your special line of machinery., li you are a miner spend a good tleal of time in the big mines and.mining building. And so on. Every man can learn a good deal in his own' line that will help hini in his business. Then, in the .second place, take up some lines of sightseeing that Avill add'to your culture and' thus broaden and sweeten your life. Devote enough time to the. pictures and statues, tlie bronzes.'porcelains anel carvings to learn something about the great anrl beautiful 'world-of art. Hear.-the music anil study a little human nature .as represented, in the multitude of people from all parts of the world. ��� Suppose you have only two or throe days to devote to the fair. In that case you can see very little except in the most general anil hasty way. Vou must content yourself with looking at the great spectacle as you ilo iit a landscape from a moving train, seeing only a lew of the most salient features. Vent should walk sIoAvIy through the main aisles of all the principal buildings, and give a few hours to ji more careful survey of whatever department most interests anil concerns you. People .who have not seen a world's lair have no conception of the magnitude of these colossal displays. Welcomed the Wrong Boat, people of Kaslo always receive the The First Ten Miles Out of Nelson Subbed to A. C. McLean, Who Will Begin Work as Soon as Supplies Can Be Got From Spokane and Winnipeg-. . t- Peter Larson came in from Spokane on Tuesday night, and all day Wednesday was besieged by parties after contracts on the Nelson 6c Fort Sheppard. The line has been definitely located from the goAr- ernment Avharf to the 10-mile station.

THE BOARD OF TRADE A Romantic Career With a Tragic Ending. Lord (.live stands pre-eminent for the romance of his career. His, ineleeel, was ne> less pathe;tic than romantic.

According to the Kaslo i.xiiniiner. the Nelson members of the South Kootenay Boartl of Trade ii re seeking to imike the board simply an exponent of the desires of the Nelson people, and the Kaslo members of tlio board licit I no other thought than to make it what its mime indicates, sin organization to advance the interests of the whole of .Southern Kootenay. It is strange tlmt a te>wn tlmt-luis been dubbed the "wickedest cily in British Columbia" should con la in'id 1 the pure a-nd high-minded business men in so large a-u arc-ci as is embraced in the territory called .Southern Kootenay. It is strange that banker Buchanan iinel hunker Ileilf of N'elson are such bold, bad men, whilst banker Burke of Kaslo is so wise iinel goody-goody: that merchant Hume iinel merchant Bigelow of Nelson are such intriguing schemers, whilst men-buntCireon iinel merchant 0iegerich of Kaslo are so open anrl aboveboard in all their ek-al ings; that real estate agent liiehardson and insurance agent Applewhaite of Nelson are such grasping sharks, whilst real osteite agent 1-t.e till lack and insurance agent Guthrie of Kaslo arc such guileless suckers: that the editor of Till*.

The governor of Oregon, for a piece of unwarrantable interference, very properly told the president to mind his own business.

The population of the Indian empire luis risen within the memory of the present generation' from 220.000,(i()0 to 2lS..,(.(.(.,(.C(.: it has been increasing at the rate of 2,;100,- 000 annually, anel is now rising iit the rate of .'i.(K;0,(-00. If no-large famines occur it will considerably exceed AOO.Ct.OXOO at the .end of tho century now drawing to a close. IO.ven iu the event of deciniination from these causes there will be an excess over 800,000,000. This augmentation is'coincident with a growth in means and resources of livelihood,- 'a-nd in material 'prosperity of all kinds. The. export, of food grains in vast quantities continues. The average population in the Indian empire i.s very moderate. For sill that, the density in some parts is considerable, and in others too great. On the other hand, there is a large ..quantity of cultivable, land still unused,'the extent of which 'can' be fully known by experience alone. Further, the existing cultivation can be made more and more productive by agricultural science, by elevelopinen'b of irrigation in detail, aud by inipiovcei appliances for husbiinelry. High Prices in Montana. F. H. Bay of Bo/.enian had a fruit stand tit Helena in ISO'S. "Twenty-live cents would nob go far toward buying fruit in those days," he said the other day to a Salt Lake Tribune man. "One man who was courting a young lady used to come to my place iinel buy four apples for $5��� $!.2."3 ii piece���and then presented them ,o his sweetheart. I always picked out four of the best apples J hael and wrapped thorn up mi tissue paper and placed tl em in ;i neat candy box for him. By and by they were married, after which I never seilei him tiny more apples. The first year's pineapples solel lor $7 apiece, aud there are still living in Helena men who'paid me that price for them. Oranges were $2.:")0 fo $.'. each, and the Montana pioneers who jire-rich today did not buy them. The first shipment of sweet potatoes ever received in 'Montana were sent to me, and they cost me fyl.An a pound. The first man who came along tho street was a Chinese. I wa.s opening them em the side walk. lie bought two pounds at $1.:">0 ii pound. Bookkeepers weio then paid $12 ii day.-For a little stand on ti.e street in front of a store I paid $80 a memfh rent in advance. A very ordinary'��� wooden building across the street, nse.d as a sa- loon, rented for $100 a month. Newsp;i- pers_se)Id for ~>{) cents each. Magazines cost The life and hunter is very hea au unusual thing that men who follow the life from boyhood develop into the veritable giants of old. At Saekville there are three brothers, who are siiiel te> be (he tallest men in the country. Their names were Allie, I-lihit and Kiiael Frank. Those three brothers laid along in a line- on bhe floor, would measure 21 feet to an inch in their stocking feet and without their caps on. Two of thein wore more than seven feeb till), and the other one was a little less. Old Mt: Frank, (.heir father, was taller than any of them. Their occupation is that of woodsmen, farmers, hunters, and horse-swappers. Could Live Without Working. Kerr Krupp. the, great gunmaker of Germany, tho other day received it com- niunication informing hini that his'vast establishments were to be burned down. He cailed his bhousanels of workmen te)- gether. read (hem the letter and said: "if any of you has made this throat let him execute it, but I warn you that I will ne)t rebuild. 1 am now rich enough te> live without working." ,6._?NS�� Billiard and Pool Room.

She is elo- sci'ibod, as a- young lady oJ:' intelligence, irreproachable character anel high standing among theise who know her. She lias no mother, anel is obliged to contribute to tho support of ;in invalul lather. Her position iu the telephone exchange, by whicli she earns a living, forces her te> work four hours every Sunday, and it is this fact that caused a disturbance of her church relations. Whon the pastor hoard that she worked on Sunday he summoned her to a conference and ondoaveired to induce her te> accept a place in a store, or te> learn typewriting ami stenography, sei that she might soon re employment that would not require her attendance on the Sabbath.

When- he began work on "Bon ITur: a Tale of the Christ,"general Wallace says he wa.s not iu the least influenced by religious sentiment. "I had ne�� convictions abeait Ceiel or Christ. I neither believed nor elisbelieved in them. The preachers had maele im imprcssiem 'iipou me.

He Wanted a Courting Book. The editor of the Edinburgh Scotsman not le>ng {igei received an envelope which bore, iu addition tei his address, a request that the oiicle>sed letter should be luuieleel to any bookseller in Kelinbiirgh.

Title | The Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1893-05-11 |
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. |
