PRICE FIVE CENTS X / THE POORMAN IS A MINE * '���' Will be a Big Producer. The report of Ernest It. AVoakcs dealing with tho development of the Poorman mine, which was read iit a recent meeting of the shareholders of the Granite Mines, justifies'all the .predictions-that have been made of the Poorman's producing capabilities. The engineer in charge of the property now has sufficient confidence to ,predict that within a short time the .Poormau will be producing monthly, ore to tlio value of $22,500/of which the company's profits are estimated at $11,700. The report of engiueer AVoakes follows: **You will of course recollect that this mine was taken over by your company lasfc year at my earnest request. It was bought as a partly developed property, and no extra capital was asked for at the time to either develop or equip it*- It has hitherto been worked by this company as an adjunct or auxiliary to tlio Granite mine. The chief work done on it has been in the nature of development, which cost has been borne by the Granite company. These, development works have proved so successful, that today 1 am convinced that the Poor- man mine is a more valuable property than the Granite, and I am most anxious that it should be systematically and properly developed and equipped. Should you bo able to see your Avay to raise sufficient capital to carry out my plans,. I am confident that within a year we ' shall be in a position fco double the capacitj' of our present, stamp "mill. : You are aware that on the Poorman * property there is a 10-stamp mill, , which.could bo moved and included in the Granite mill. But as there is a great deal of work to be done in connection with the miue and its development before the enlarge- . ment of the mill is required, whicli work in itself is a comparatively simple operation, 1 do not think it is of importance'at" this lime" to enter into its consideration. Tn J;h. first place an efficient compressor plant is required. The Poorman compressor is only capable of running one drill. AVe require at least an eight- drill compressor for drills, pumps and hoists. I think provision should be made for tho instalment of a larger compressor at the Granite mill, where the new wheel about to be installed will give us increased power for this purpose. Tho tramway aud surface arrangements will have to be altered in order to allow of the increased tonnage of Poor- man ore beiug transported to the mill. Au inclined shaft would have to be sunk on the lode below No. . level; this shaft should be sunk about 300 feefc, and three levels driven on tho lode from it. ^Tho_pi'esentJe_vcls__so_utb,^nameIy, JSo. *1 intermedfate and No. 3, are ���all being driven in a fine quartz vein, varying from 4 feet to* 18 inches in width, and we hope shortly to locate the vein in No. 2 south. The above sinking opera- lions would involve a. plant A'ery similar to that at present employed afc the Granite mine. The cyanide tests just completed are very satisfactory on a laboratory scale. A 3- ton experimental plant is now being put up/and should this prove satisfactory a 50-ton per day plant should at once be erected, which can be subsequently enlarged. '���i estimate that the above Avorks, exclusive of any enlargement tothe present mill, Avould cost about ��10,000. To move and re-erect the Poorman battery Avould probably cost about ��1000, though it would be advisable to renew a good deal of the old machinery, especially the cam shafts, Avhich Avould add to the first cost. Prom the Poorman mine I belieA'e we can expect a minimum extraction by amalgamation of $10 per ton, Avith a further $5 per ton should the cyanide treatment prove satisfactory. With the 20 stamps, or 50-tons-a-day plant, this Avould yield a gross return of $22,500 per month. The cost per ton should not exceed���mining $4, milling and hauling $1.20, cyanide $2; total, $7.20���AA'hich Avould leave a net profit of $11,700 per month. This iesn.lt I would expect to attain within six mouths' time. Should deA'elopments continue as in the past, I would then proceed to double i,he mill capacity to 100 tons per day. The cost per ton Avould then be less, but we Avill leave them the same as before, to be on the safe side. Should these desirable fore casts be fulfilled, of wliich I believe there is every likelihood that they Avill be, the net monthly profits Avould be $23,100. At present it Avould be premature to state when this latter result could be attained, but by steady and systematic work, unattended by labor troubles, on a mine like the Poorman, I see nothing that can prevent its developing into a large and prosperous concern." INVOLVED IN MANY ISSUES Two Prominent Men Dead. ��� ! London, June 21.���Never at any time, iu her history has Great Britain been involved in so many diverse issues that vitally affect the future of her empire. And though there are still at stake in South Africa, military, territorial and financial considerations that in their magnitude have scarcely been exceeded during ' the century, Great Britain is no exception to the rest of Europe in being wrought up to a pitch of intense anxiety, to the exclusion of eA'ery topic, by tho drama being enacted in the far east. In the excitement of the moment the. relief of Mafeking seems a little' thing compared'Avith' the relief of A*"ice admiral Seymour and the international forces. Spion Kop, Paardoburg and Colenso sink into insignificance compared with the spectacle presented by the land and sea forces of the six greatest poAvers in tho Avorld fighting side by side agaiust a common enemy. AVith a keen sense of the relative proportion of things Great Britain quickly turned her eyes to China, not so much perhaps on immediate developments as upon the possibility of the epoch-making war or Avars Avhich may arise out of the present crisis. Tho death of count ���Muravieff," the Russian minister of,, foreigu affairs, evoked no canting obituaries or expressions of regret here, for the British press,-in spite of the equariimity^o��--tho~~foreign. office/- A\*as unanimous in realizing the gravity of the present, turn of affairs. To quote a staid and humane weekly: "The death of Russia's minister removes -an obstacle to the cordiality between Russia and England," and though this summarizes the comment of -the loading papers, there is little hope expressed that Russia's aggressive policy toward China Avill be much modified. Apart from the material A'iew of tho result of count Mura- A'ieiT's death ifc is generally referred to as one of tho most pathetic happenings in political careers, for according to the dead man's critics he seemed, OAving to the crisis in China, on the verge oi, accomplishing the object to which he had devoted his life. Lord Loch's "death, almost coin- eiding_W-itli_count_MuraA*.ioff_'s,_also_ removes one Avhose name Avas much connected Avith matters in the far east. Before he became a colonial governor, lord Loch assisted, in the negotiations which resulted in the treaty of Tien Tsin in 1860, and only escaped execution at the hands EACH TEAM WON ONE GAME Notes on Sporting Events. Both the Nelson and Spokane baseball teams have gone down to their first defeat of the season, each winning a game. Nelson won the Saturday game by the handsome margin of 14 runs to 10, and* was beaten yesterday by 0 runs to 8 after some accurate and exciting play. Tne batting was good on both sides, bufc Caverly proved to be the star batsman of Saturday's game. Rockenfield,^ who played shortstop on Saturday, is conceded eA'en by Spokane critics to be. undoubtedly the best player that has been seen in Spokane this season, both at his position and at the bat. How Nelson won the match in the sixth innings of Saturday's game is thus described by the Spokesihan-RevieAv: Caverly opened the nightmare inning Avith a line hit to left field for two bases. Eacritt then hit to short, Road- night fumbling, and, after recovering, threw Avild fco first, allowing CaA'erly to reach home. Phair hit to short, and AA*as presented through fielder's choice with first. Black- Avood then contributed a hit into right field, scoring Eacritt and Phair. Blackwood Avas throAvn out at third on Mills' hit to short, and the next moment Mills AA'as caught in endeavoring to steal second. It looked as if the agony, might be over, but the Nelson aggregation felt otherwise. Houston drove the ball into deep center for three bases, and Partridge duplicated the feat, scoring Houston, and a moment later scoring himself on slow handling of the ball. AVaters hit to second and reached first on Allen's fumble. Rockenfield again hit safely and Waters moved up a notch, both men scoring on Caver- ley's drive to center for two bases. Eacritt then scored Caverly with a hit into center, and the fusillade ended Avith Phair's strike-out. Yesterday the game. was more even and exciting, and it will be observed,that.,neither side scored 'after the sixth innings. The names of the players and the scores of the tAvo games follow:, the lake was dotted with the canvas of the sailing craft. The Myth Avas put in the Avater after receiving a coat of black lead. The Bobs was out, and shoAved that she could sail close to the Avind. AV. H. Bullock-Webster's snug little craft, the Petrel, made her first appearance for the season. She is not a racing boat, but makes up for this in point of comfort and seaAvorthi- ness. The Pretoria was quite the jauntiest thing on the lake. It was her first public appearance, and she made quite a hit along the water front. ONLY SURMISE AND RUMOR NELSON HAS MANY MINES XKIJBOS. Waters Houston Partridge....

Lord Salisbury's entreaty this week to the missionaries not to have themselves murdered is one more instance of his uncommon frankness, as it is referred to, "his thinking aloud phase." Among the secular press the premier's remark AA'ill meet Avith the approbation of their sound common sense, but it Avill not add church votes to the Conservative party at the next general election, Avhich, by the way, is still further postponed on account of the Chinese trouble.

Washington, June 24.���The navy department this afternoon issued the following bulletin: "A telegram from admiral Kempff, dated at Chefoo June 24th, says: "In an ambuscade near Tien Tsin, on the 21st, four of AValler's command - Avere killed and seven wounded. Names Avill be published later. A force of 2000 is going to relieve Tien Tsin today. The secretary of the navy has ordered admiral Remey to go Avith the Brooklyn to Taku, and tender general MacArthur the conveyance of any army troops Avhich the Brooklyn can carry." It will be seen that J. McKenzie scored within three points of the top figure. McKenzie is the best shot in the rifle company and has improved steadily during the season. . With the same ratio of improvement he is likely to finish the season very near the top of the list. The Nelson tennis players avIio went to Rossland on Saturday were very successful, Avinning five events out of eight, and thereby carrying off the honors in the tournament. on 16 The initial cricket practice Saturday brought out 15 or players, and a couple of hours' batting aud bowling ensued. The turnout should encourage the club to get into the game in earnest. AVhen the fence about the recreation grounds is finished the local clubs should have an inch of water pipe put into the grounds, and a couple of hundred feet.:.of pipe purchased. If the grounds were thoroughly sprinkled before games it would be to the comfort of both players and spectators. The city has a quantity of condemned hose which could be utilized if the city fathers would consent to the loan. Yesterday Avas a lively day on the lake.

Situation. New York, June 24.���Cabling the Tribune f roui London ��� at 1 o'clock this morning, Isaac N. Ford gives his digest of the lieAA's and rumors regarding affairs at Tion Tsin and Pekin as they appear at the British capital. His dispatch follows: "Pekin aud Tien Tsin. remain isolated from Taku and such information as is drawn from Shanghai and Chefoo is a tissue of sur- t mises aud rumors. The- most ominous report from Shanghai is a statement that 'prince Tuan has attacked the foreign quarters at Tien Tsin Avith Chinese troops aud Krupp quick-firings guns and the latest dispatch contains a vague rumor that the legations were still holding out on Thursday. * "The Chinese embassy at Berlin has also received-a" dispatch from the viceroy of one of the provinces stating that the German minister had not been-murdered but Avas alive and Avell. "Chefoo has a fresh batch of rumors to the effect that hordes of Boxers Avere massed between Tien Tsin and Takuvthat fighting Avas in progress and that much of the foreign property had been destroyed. Not a word has come, either from the relief column "headed.by ad- *miral-''SeyraourJor^;"frora.',tb.e legations. ' All the foreign consulates at Tien Tsin are believed to have been destroyed and the foreigners are reported to be.huddled together iu a single quarter,'Avhere the military force i3 inadequate for their protection. "There is an intricate Aveb of rumors from the various provinces, showing that there is a widespread panic among the foreigners, that missionaries and traders are scuttling from the iuterior to Yang Tse ports, and that the Chinese mobs are in a state of uncontrollable excitement between Pekin, Tien Tsin and Taku. "Large allowance must be made for the feeling of. panic which pervades the seaboard towns, Avhere rumors are brought from mouth to mouth, and where there is no trust- _AV.orthy_information. There. can_be no doubt that the foreign office and the admiralty here are alarmed at the silence of the legations and admiral Seymour, and are utterly at a loss to account for it. "Information respecting the attack of the Boxers on the force of marines and the Russian troops near Tien Tsin and the destruction of foreign consulate is drawn from the Washington dispatches. No more additional details Avere known here at midnight. "The railway is reported to be open half Avay from Taku to Tien Tsin, and the allied forces numbering from 3000 to 4000 Avere said to be on tlieir Avay to tiie relief of the foreign quarters. "The situation in China is so bewildering that the officials here content themselves Avith saying that it could hardly be more serious and they make no attempt to explain it. The only reassuring fact is the heartiness Avith which all the powers are standing together." Another Uprising Feared. Shanghai, June 22.���Owing to the absence of Avarships at Kiu Kiang Fu some apprehension is felt there of an uprising. The merchants steamer companies therefore have arranged to always keep one steamer in readiness. The British twin screAV sloop Danube has arrived here Avith ammunition. There are no signs of a disturbance. Sir Frederick Hodgson Wounded. Accra, June 24.���Sir Frederick Hodgson, governor of Gold Coast Colony, was wounded iu the shoulder during a recent sortie from the fort. It is rumored that eight officers were killed. Kick Morning Mountain. In spite of panic mongers, alarmist rumors, fake labor troubles and other political devices organized by men who should know better as they are making a liviug on other people's money invested in this country, mining in AVest Kootenay continues steadily to progress. Work is progressing steadily in the Rossland camp, where the Le Roi mine alone is shipping nearly 600 tons a day; in the Slocan, as Avill be seen in a letter printed elseAvhere from The Tribune's special correspondent, there is great activity in mining circles w'here men.mine" and' do not talk, and the same is to be seen in the Nelson miniug division. Iu a recent issue The Tribune described fully the starting up of the Venus mill on Morning mountain, thus adding another to the list of the shipping mines and giving another proof of the richness of that hill. Morning mountain is destined to become famous as a gold producer, and it is wonderful that it is only comparatively recently that its richness is being proved. - The star mine of Morning mountain so far, is, of course, the Athabasca, whose 10 stamps have been crushing ore regularly for nearly tAvo years. The character of the ore is such that the mill has to be run slowly8 but the monthly cleanup has aA'eraged about $10,000. Last month the returns ' took a jump, $18,500 being recovered in bullion, and concentrates, while this month a $25,000 cleanup is expected. To these values must be added the tailings Avhich carry quite an appreciable quantity of gold. Thesehave been saved, and, ifc is understood, "a cyanide plant is about to be erected for. their treatment. At a general meeting held in Loudon last month a reorganization of the company was decided upon in order to raise funds to increase the plant, but if the monthly cleanups continue on last month's basis, it looks as if that move Avould be unnecessary. The Athabasca has been making some money right along, and.the ^profits being made now"are very'larg'e.'-" '"*' '��� The Exchequer, also on Morning mountain, near the Athabasca tramway, is another promising property, aud free milling, like all the Morning mountain mines. This property, Avhich lay idle for some years owing to dissension among the shareholders, started up some two years ago, and has been worked continuously until recently.. Connections Avere made wifch the Hall Mines tramway, and latterly the property has been self-supporting and Avill be a dividend payer Avhen a little more development has been done. The vein averages about four feefc of ore of good grade. There is no Avagon road fco the mine, so, Avhen the Hall Mines smelter closed doAvn the ore could not be profitably marketed, aud -the-management_=Avisely_decided_to_ suspend operations for a Avhile. It is expected, however, that the mine Avill start up shortly in pursuance of arrangements now being effected. Yet another promisiug Morning mountain is the Birdseye group belonging to the Nelson Copper- iields company, limited, Avho took up their bond on the property on the first of the month. This is also a free milling proposition despite the name of the company that owns ib. The ore in this mine i.s of good grade, and A'ery handsome specimens have been brought to town. A considerable amount of Avork has been done on this group, and tlio local management says it will not be long now before a mill will be erected and the Birdseye enter the list of Nelson's producing mines. The Juno group on Morning mountain has been bonded by a Montreal syndicate represented here by Charles Parker. A considerable amount of Avork lias been done on this property, which boasts a strong ledge of free milling quartz. The owners of the Juno, by the way, have had the singular good fortune of having the value of their property proved for them, and at no expense to themselves. Tunnel No. 2 of the Venus mine adjoining reached the Juno ground after running about 000 feet. In the breast of the tunnel there .shows up a strong ledge, between Avell defined Avails, of at least two feet of $40 ore. There is no doubt, Avhatever, that this is the Athabasca ledge, Avhicli is thus proven to run through the Juno group, though it docs not outcrop on that property, the Avork already done having beon performed ou a different \*ein. This ore body can be easily reached on the Juno either by shaft or tunnel. AVork on this property is to be vigorously prosecuted all the season. The list of good properties on Morning mauntain is not yet exhausted, for there remains the Bor- nite Bank. But little is'"heard- in Nelson of this property, as the office of the company, for^, some occult reason, is located in'Rossland. Mining men who. have'-, seen it, hoAA'ever, are loud in its praises, some going so far as to say that it is the best property on the hill. However this may be, there is no doubt but that it '** possesses a strong ledge of free milling quartz, Avhich, as is invariably the case on Morning mountain," carries high values in gold. There aire numerous other properties on Morning mountain with good surface��� showings, but they are still in the initial stages of development. Enough has been said, however, to show the richness of Morning mountain j Avhich, if situated anywhere else than near Nelson, AA'ould long ago have attained fame in the mining Avorld. Toad mountain, only separated .from Morning mountain by a gulch, seems temporarily under a cloud. For reasons Avhich it is unnecessary to go into here, that group of properties knoAvn as the Hall Mines has been temporarily closed down. That mine, however, has shipped many thousands of tons of silver- copper ore to its smelter by the lake, and large reserves of ore are knoAvn to exist in the mine. The mine management Avas handicapped in the past by the necessity of immense daily shipments to keep the big copper blast furnace at the smelter going, and for a long time 200 tons of ore AA'as sent doAvn daily. The result Avas that the development Avork inevitably fell behind. The company was successfully reorganized in London .recently, and private advices indicate that Nelson's biggest single ��� industry will soou be in full swing * once 'more. As showing the ..value ' of the, property it is interesting to note that the company recently received ca very flattering offerv���for.-the mine from Canadian capitalists^ iinder- ' stood to be Gooderham^and-:.-Black- stock. "Tiie '"directors -refused it, however, preferring to keep a good thing to themselves. The Dandy group, an extension of the Silver King group, was-extensively Avorked hist fall by an English syndicate which included several Athabasca shareholders. There is a large body of silver-copper ore on the Dandy, similar to the Silver King ore. The property is not being Avorked just now, hoAV- eA*er, and it is understood that the deal is hanging fire on account of the stringent condition of the Londou money market: Those who knoAV the property best assert that if intelligently Avorked on a large scale, there is big money iu the Dandy. Latest Chinese News. Neav York, June 24.���At 0 o'clock this morning Isaac N. Ford cabled the Tribune from London giving the latest neAvs from the Chinese situation that had reached the metropolis at that hour. He says : "Telegrams from China are of a bewildering nature. Li Hung Chang is still at Canton, and there is no sign of his leaving there for Pekin, yet he is said to be kept advised daily of the latest developments of the situation. The American gunboat is at Canton aAvaiting events and guarding the foreigners' interests. The state of affairs at Tien Tsin is causing great alarm Avhich is not likely to be lessened by tho neAvs of the failure of Americans and Russians to raise tho siege of the town. Nothing i.s known of the reported attempt of the allies to reach Tien Tsin last night." Eossland Boy Drowned. Rossland, June 24.���John Janes, a lad of 14, was drowned iu the pond in the west end of the town today at 12:30. The lad Avas subject to fits and was seized Avith one after he had been bathing and fell from a log into the water. The other boys bathing with him were younger than he, and AA'ere frightened, and so made no' attempt to save him. After being in tho water half an hour, the body Avas recovered. He Avas a son of Thomas Janes, a miner. Life and Property Unsafe.

Kaslo, June 22.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Some parties are spreading abroad a report that there is likely soon to be more trouble in the mining districts.

Malliusou AVilliams, of tho Chapleau Mines, and Percy Dickinson, of the AVarner Miller Syndicate, leave for Victoria today. They Avill spend several days there in an endeavor to interest the government in the proposed new Avagon road up the north fork of Lemon creek. The building of this road is a much needed improvement and has beeu agitated for some time by the business men and miners of Slocan City. Messrs. AVilliams aud Dickinson have a letter signed by all the business men of Slocan urging the government to build the road. Mr. AVilliams Avent to Aric- toria several months ago on the same mission, but Avas obliged to abandon it and return to Nelson on account of the doAvnfall of the Semlin government. The road if constructed Avould prove an immense benefit to that section as it would tap all the mines in the dry ore section of Lemon creek. All the Wires Down. The C. P. Telegraph Company's Avires went down last night before more than a quarter of the usual press service A\'as delivered to The Tribune. The Spokane Northern Telegraph Company's wires were also down, and so The Tribune is unable this morning to give its readers their usual quota of the Avorld's news. The lightning last night is stated to be the cause of fche general failure of the wires. . .H'.u.Ui��'.j��.u^uli.raiywi'M^ THE TRIBUNE: NELSON B.

ALL SIZES s Bay Stores Tin-; success which the Granite Mines is meeting AA'ith in the development of the Poormau and Granite mines means much to the people of Nelson. For several months development Avork had been steadily- pushed upon the properties, and from time to time stories have drifted into the city of the good luck which the company had encountered; but nothing definite was allowed to become public until the recent extraordinary meeting of the company, which Avas held in London on May 29 th. From the report of the engineer, Avhich was i*ead at the meeting, ifc appears that the company's best hopes' for the Poorman property will be realized, and that within a short time the monthly yield from the Poorman will aggregate over $22,500, of which sum ifc is estimated that $11,700 Avill represent the company's profits. The reijorfcs from the Gianite mine arc also highly, encouraging, and it is not dealing in improbable futures to predict that Avithin a feAAr months the tAA*o Nelson properties, which a short time ago were comparatively uuknoAvn, will bo producing each month gold bearing ore worth $45,000. This Avill be-good neAvs to the people of Nelson. It is what the old-timers have predicted from the first, and the success AA'hich has attended the development of the Poorman and Granite properties will no doubt encourage others to take up other properties in the Nelson gold belt, which-are noAv no less promising than were the Poor- man and Granite Avhen their development was taken in hand. In its last issue the Cranbrook Herald giA'es the Nelson Miner a well merited rebuke for its insinuations in connection Avith J. R. Costi- gan's remarks, at the banquet tendered to the successful candidate at Cranbrook. The Herald says : "In " the opinion of the Herald, if local " papers Avould endeavor more to "propitiate home unity and good " feelings instead of stirring up " petty strifes and perpetuating " political animosities in their ATiciu- " ities, there Avould be more happy, " thriving communities than there " are, and the country newspaper " would occupy a greater field of " usefulness than it now does." Death of Count Muravieff. Pakis,' .Tune' 24.���The sudden death, of count Muravieff, the strong bulwark of the Franco Russian alliance, has .caused ,deep concern among the members of the -French offieiaLaud-political LAvorld. Count Muravieff was a bitter antagonist of England, and in him France felt she had an influential friend. The cordial relations of the foreign offices of Russia and France, moreoA'er, have not rested upon a purely political basis. A great element of strength Avas found in the personal friendship existing betAveen M. Deleasse, French minister of foreign affairs, and count Muravieff, and to the former the loss of his friend came as a severe blow. Tho removal of count Muravieff from the councils of the czar is gravely commented upon by the French press, and in hopes expressed that the policy of Jtussia Avill nofc be affected thereby one discerns apprehensions lest the foundations of the Franco-Russian alliance should be rudely shaken by the lopping off of one of its strongest roots. The veil drawn OA'er events in Pekin by the interruption of communication serves to increase the anxiety felt here. M. Deleasse, minister of foreign affairs, speaking today on the situation, gave it as his opinion thafc the poAvers' first duty was to overcome the rebellion aud to insure the safety of the properties and lives of all foreigners. The Cassiar Election. It is usually the unexpected that happens in out-of-the-Avay corners of. the earth,,,and now the signs point to Mr. Staples (Independent Liberal) sitting in Captain Irving's old place as Mr. Clifford's colleague for Cassiar. Bella Coola and Hazel- ton, with.Dease Lake presumably, were all the polling stations not yet heard from yesterday; It was expected that each of these would in crease the lead then held by Clifford and Irving, the commodore being three A*otes ahead of Mr. Staples. Instead of doing so, however, Bella Coola gave Clifford 25, added 25 votes for Staples, and divided an odd five between Irving and Godfrey, the captain receiving four. These additions made the totals: Clifford, 311; Staples, 201; Irving, 244 ; and Godfrey, 188. Then came the neAvs that the ballot boxes had not got up to Hazel ton (and therefore not to Dease Lake, Avhich is far beyond) and that in consequence no vote had been polled there, so that Messrs. Clifford and Staples may be counted elected. The former is one of the besb known men of the north, a pioneer of the Cassiar district, and its senior member in the last parliament. His colleague represents more directly the Atlin section of the district and is himself a practical miner. He is a Liberal, but distinctly disavows affiliation Avith Mr. Joseph Martin. The Lance in France. The question of arming the French cavalry Avith lances is still under discussion, and gives the following information "as to the arms carried by the cavalry of other nations : In England 31 cavalry regiments carry sabre and carbine ; six regiments of lancers have the lance iu addition; seven regiments of dragoons liaAre recently been supplied Avifch the lance for the front rank only. Iu Italy 24 caATalry regiments carry sabre and carbine, the latter with a bayonet a foot long ; the 10 lancer regiments carry a lance' in addition. In Germany the 93 cavalry regiments are all armed "with sabre, carbine and lance. - In Austria the 42 caA'alry regiments carry sabre and carbine; the 11 regiments of Uhlans, avIio used to carry a lance, have ceased to do so. In Russia the 119 cavalry regiments carry sabre and carbine; the 58 dragoon regiments have no lance, but their carbine has a bay- onet-liboutriiv*e���inches"long ; in"%8~ regiments of Cossacks the men iu the front rank carry the lance ; the 15 regiments in the Caucasus have no lance; all the Cossacks carry a pistol and poignard ; in tliesix regiments of the guards the men in the front rank carry the lance. Dramatic Critics in the War. It is an interesting fact that Spenser Wilkinson, the best of all the British AA'ar critics, is the regular dramatic critic of a London newspaper. II. J. Whigham, already famous as a military explorer and Avar correspondent, first sprang into prominence as a dramatic critic in Chicago journalism. Julian llalph, Avho has surrendered one of his staunch American legs fco the glorious cause of God and freedom in South Africa, has been for years an able Avriter on theatrical affairs, aud one might go on indefinitely naming gentlemen Avho have first B. C. HOTEL erie, b. c. qualified for the strenuous life in the chair of dramatic criticism. As a dramatic critic a man requires the keen perceptive faculty, the ability to detect instantaneously a false note. lie learns tho art of disputation, ahvays with fairness and candor, and hoAv to say a meau thing with grace and elegance. AboA*e everything he is absolutely fearless, and learns to contemplate enraged stars, threatening theatrical managers and bulldozing -press agents Avith intrepidity and undiminished assurance of right. The necessary preliminary training of the war correspondents is thus perfectly understood. ROYAL SEAli AND . *;;. KOOTENAY BELLE CIGARS ���'.

A discussion is going on respectful ^the^meti ts^of _m iu in g.exchan ges.. Like most other institutions, these exchanges have good and bad points, and to the degree iu whicli they induce capital to seek undesirable investments in mining stocks tliey are certainly an evil influence. ]5ub the disposition to buy mining stocks is strong among many classes of capitalists. There is an element of the lottery about the average mine that undeniably attracts many a man who would scorn to place his money on the turn of a wheel,' and if such a man wants to buy he has. little difficulty in finding other men equally willing to sell. It is difficult to feel much indignation against the sellers of mining stocks of dubious value when the purchasers, with a thousand warnings before their eyes, deliberately bite at the glittering bait. When tlieir toeth grate on the gilded file, the i inpulse is not to pity their shattered molars and bicuspids, but to ejaculate, Serve them right. The chief responsibility lies on the men who permit their names to bo used as the officers and promoters of mining companies. It has come to this, that the experienced dealer pays little heed to the names on a prospectus, but investigates the proposition for himself. Other men, of less experience, invest tlieir money on the strength of their confidence in the honor and business capacity of the.oflicers of companies, often to find .that these officers have given' their names and little else to the concerns. Ib is said that most of the losses'made by British investors in Canadian mining securities have been occasioned by a too-confiding trust in the value of the names on the execu- Is now prepared to issue_Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U.

Tt is evident that there is not a keen enough appreciation of the responsibilities of their position by Canadians of good business standing who permit themselves to staud sponsors for new mining en-* terprises. OLD-TIME WITCHCRAFT. When superstition is so far moribund that the death penalty for witchcraft' has long since been erased from the statute book, and the impostor who trades on the ^fatuity^qf^is^or-her^fellow-ciqizens is subjected only to well-merited punishment as a rogue and vagabond, it is interesting to look back upou the beliefs of our forefathers and note to what excess of cruelty popular prejudice and credulity could force even wise and good men. And no more remarkable instance can be given than that which took place at the spring assizes held by sir Matthew Hale at Bury St. Edmunds in the year 1070, when two old widows, named respectively Rose Cullender and Amy Duny wero indicted for bewitching their neighbor's children. The evidence for the prosecution went to show that the prisoners, who* were poor and gained a precarious livelihood by hawking fish, had an evil repute for witchcraft, in the place where they lived, and, it was alleged, were heard to use threatening language to the parents of the prosecutors, because they would not deal Avith them. Shortly after -the threats, the children, who were evidently weakly and neurotic, if not deliberately malicious, were seized with fits, in which they swore that they saw the two prisoners urging on their imps to torment them; and on one occasion Deborah Pacey, a girl nine years old, falling into a swooning fit, after much pain and straining, vomited up a two-penny nail with a broad head, which she said a bee had brought and forced into her mouth. Numerous other incidents of an equally veracious and probable character, extending over several mouths, were also sworn to by the parents and friends of the interesting sufferer. The other children Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized $2,500,000 Capital Paid up $2,458,603 Rest $1,700,000 D. R. Wilkie, General Manager. E. Hay. Inspccter.

LAY, Manager. seem to have experienced similar tortures, and Elizabeth Pacey, sister to Deborah, who distinguished herself by scratching Amy Duny's face till the blood ran down, as soon as she came near her in the court, seems to-have been a girl of brilliant but unregulated imagination, and not too fond of-her book, for credible witnesses averred that, owing to witchcraft, whenever asked by her father to read the New Testament, she always bun- =gled=at=the=name=off=Eordr-but-atthe word Devil clapped her hands, crying out: "This bites but makes me speak right well," which agreeable little episode seems to have finished Scripture lessons for the day. It wa9 also deposed, with most damaging effect to the prisoners, that one of the children, after being speechless for some time, suddenly ran about the house holding up her apron and crying '���Hush, hush!" as though there weie poultry in the house, though the deponent could see nothing. ��� Another little innocent called Jane Bocking, after vomiting lath nails aud pins, affirmed that the prisoners, presumably their astral bodies, had got into her bedroom aud were standing round her bed for the purpose of tormenting her. Strangely enough, the above evidence,* though conclusive to every right minded person in court, was regarded with disapproval by. sergeant Keeling, one of the leaders of the circuit, who had the temerity to say that he thought it was insufficient to convict the prisoners upon, even if the children were bewitched, on the ground that "it could not be applied to. the prisoners on the imagination only of the parties afflicted; for," said he, " if this be allowed, no person whatsoever can be in safety." Fortunately, however, for the interests of justice, one Brown of Norwich, a person of great knowledge, at this stage informed the court that quite recently there had been a great discovery of witches in Denmark, who afflicted people with crooked pins and needles, identical in character with those produced in evidence, and it was his opinion "that the Devil in such cases did. work upon the bodies of men and women on a natural foundation,", which evidence beiugvery Relevant to the issue, appears to have given the court the liveliest satisfaction. But some officious person, still unsatisfied, that as contact with the supposed witches produced such strong signs of aversion in the little victims, it would be well to bandage the children's eyes with their aprons and see what the result would be if someone touched them. In compliance with this suggestion, at the desire of the judge, lord Corn- Avallis, sir Edmund Bacon, find the still sceptical serjeant Keeling, "attended one of Jbhe distempered children in the farther part of the hall, whilst she was in her fits, one of the prisoners being with them at the same time. An apron was placed over the girl's eyes, and one of the gentlemen touched her, producing the same effect, scratches and all, that the touch of the witch had done." Whereupon, curiously enough, the gentlemen returned openly protesting that they believed the whole business was an imposture. As even the court seems to have thought tho evidence rathei' shaky after this, some other Avitnesses were brought in Avho knew nothing about the I charge. However, one Robert Sherringham swore that two years before Rose Cullenden was very angry Avith him because he had accidentally knocked part of her house Avith his Avagon, since Avhich time he had .suffered great loss through his cattle dying, "for as soon as ever his sows pigged the pigs would leap and caper and im- Palace IVjeat IV|ar^et Headquarters for all kinds of Fresh and Cured Meats. mediately fall doAvn and die." Corroborative o evidence of this interesting natural phenomenon having been given, the case for the prosecution closed, and the judge charged the jury, avIio, after half an hour's deliberation, brought in a A'erdict of guilty. The witches Avere duly hanged on the folloAving Monday, having, strange to say, confessed nothing. A. R.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-06-25 |
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. |
