NELSON: F&IDAY-MORNING AUGUST 10 1900 PRICE FIVE CENTS u COMMANDER OF THE ALLIES May Possibly be "Waldersee. .^Washington, August 9.���The subject of the* appointment of count Waldersee to command the international forces iu China has been presented to the United States government, but no answer has yet been returned. Count Waldersee is regarded by the authorities here as an eminent soldier, and it -is believed that he will bo satisfactory. It is stated that bis selection would be for a campaign of much broader scope than that iu which - our forces are engaged, as the present movement is for the relief of the ministers in I'ekin, and count Waldersee, who is now in Germany, cannot possibly reach Chiua until that has beeu accomplished or defeated. It is thought by this government that it is not necessary to immediately decide upon a commander for a future campaign. The matter will be taken up with president McKiniey when he" arrives in Washington next week. Berlin, August 0.���Field marshal count von Waldersee. recently appointed to the supreme command of the German forces in China, and- looked upon in some quarters as likely to be chosen as commander- in-chief of the international troops, was interviewed in the evening by the correspondent of the Associated Press shortly after his amvalin Berlin. "My appointment," said generaKvon Waldersee,,"is due entirely to the initiative of emperor William. I shall start j for . China, going probably by way of San Francisco, in a short time. I am fully aware of the great difficulty :I shall have to meet in China, and of the extreme responsibility of my" -, position there, but I shall do my best to prove myself ��� worthy of the honor and confidence placed in me - by the kaiser. Countess von ' Wal-~ * dersee -will-; accompany ���me to the United States. ,~~ ' . ��� -��� . It is~ understood that emperor* AWJlliani some^weeks ago broached the "subject of the ��� chief command " to co.unt von Waldersee, personally. *b.asing bJs.*proposal^upon��the-_cpnV r c-fftioA-Vthat all the other' powers" should acquiesce in'the appointment. As to, this latter ppint^diplomatic negotiations' have been,"' going "on. ,during the last"few days*. JL Emperor. ��� Nicholas,with' Avhom the' "counts is . an, especial favorite, consented, and France followed somewhat reluctantly. Austria, Hungary arid Italy - quickly consented. " The . acquiescence of the United States . v and, Great Britain will next be .solicited. The German foreign office - told the Associated Press correspondent this evening that the consent * of the other powers had virtually been secured for count von Waldersee as chief." the shipment of American citizens as muleteers at New Orleans on British transports. In this instance Mr. Stowe remarks that he sends home free all who apply to him, but adds : "I no sooner < clear one vessel than another comes 'into port .with more Americans who have been so foolish as to ship with mules for this country. Over 500 have arrived and further shipments of these muleteers ought to be prevented. The means used to obtain men at New Orleans as told me by the men are simply disgraceful." - Murdered Americans. Manila, July 3, via San Francisco, August 8.���From many sec- ���tions of-the archipelago news of-the atrocious murder of Americans and others by the insurgents is received. Three American miners were murdered at Bantan island and two loyal natives were killed at Santa, Cruse. A report of a ghastly crime following major Blaxino's capture by the Americans, comes through official channels. After major Maxino was taken prisoner by our troops at Unisana, a gang of Tul- isanese killed his "father-in-law, his wife, four of his children and his ���nephew, butchering and torturing them and robbing the family of about $11,000 iu money and jewelry. A detachment of six men under captain Newbury, of the thirtieth infantry, with,, major Maxino, as guide, encountered the desperadoes, taking thirteen prisoners, besides recovering a portion of the jewelry and $1200 of the money. Troops from India. Simla, August 9.���Including the fourth brigade, the strength of the force proceeding to China is 440 British officers, l,064l non-commissioned and native officers, 13,970 men, 11,850 followers, 1,150 drivers, 2,520 horses, 4,800 ponies and mules, 12 guns, 14 Maxims, and 1,800 imperial service troops. It is expected "that the entire force will have sailed before the middle of next -month. Sands Muleteers Home. Washington, August 9.���The department of state is in receipt of a dispatch from the consul general of - the United States at Cape Town, dated July 0tb; further relating to GREAT POWERS TOO BUSY To Meddle, in South Africa. Berlin, August 9.���The foreign office, referring today to .the presence of Boer reverses and to Dr. Leyds in Berlin, said that the legation was here in an official capacity only and that it was not likely that any power would''endeavor'to secure, favorable peace terms for the Boers in the'final settlement. Dr. Leyds and the delegation, however"- had "a conference this morning with Herr von Dorenthal, privy councillor, who is representing count von Buelow during the absence of .tiie minister of foreign affairs on, his vacation. 3 . _ . _. * - . Later in the day Mr. Fischer, of the delegation, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press in the presence of Dr. Leyds: '-'The burghers of the South African Republic don't intend to ��� give up the fight. They .will -take to, guerrilla warfare, splitting up into small detachments, and they,will doubtless disturb* the British, inflicting in the aggregate more damage in this way than they could inflict in a big war." * ��� " .

The line would reach the mines this fall, but would be a distance of 145 miles westward from Port Arthur. In about two months there will also be 1000 miles built southeast from Winnipeg to the south of the Rainy river. This will leave about 142 miles to be completed next year. It should be mentioned that the Canadian Northern embraces from Port Arthur to the Saskatchewan river by Winnipeg.' "' __^_iIntense_Heatun_Toronto. * , Toronto, August 0.���The weather continues stiflingly hot. The thermometer Monday and Tuesday was between 97 and 98 and appears the same today. The ., death rate among young children is terribly high. Between noon on Saturday and Tuesday afternoon 48 deaths were registered of which 22 were children under one year. The prevailing disease among the latter is cholera infantum. For Gallant Conduct. Ottawa, August 9���General Hutf ton has forwarded the names of the following to the field marshal, the commander-in-chief, for gallant conduct: Lieutenant H. A. David- sou, superintendent N. W. M.

Paris, August 0.���In almost every city of France special services were held today in memory of the late king Humbert of Italy. The memorial ceremonies in Paris were very impressive. THE CHINESE SITUATION Allied Force of 50,000. Washington, August -9.���The capture of Yang Tsun, the first objective point of the international forces, was the supreme news of importance received today on the Chinese situation. The first word of this capture, "effected last Monday, came to the signal office at the war department - from colonel Scriven, the general officer at Che'- Foo. THalf an hour after this message a cablegram came from general' Chaffee, giving additional details of the capture and showing that it- had been at the cost of about sixty casualties among the -American troops. - "Hardly less important - was a dispatch from general Terauchi, second in command of the Japanese staff, sent to the war office of - Japan and transmitted - to * the legation here, stating that, the international army would total 50,000 men on August 15th to advance on Pekin. This dispatch stated that on-the 4th, when it was forwarded, the advance had not begun. 4 This was at first incomprehensible,;in view of the fact that fightinglhad. actually occurred. -But the latter' statement, that the international force would total 150,000 men on the 15th, appears to make clear general Ter- auchi's meaning and to reconcile it with general Chaffee's dispatches. The present'movement of some 16,000-men doubtless is, viewed in the light of a reconnaisance in force, the movement of the army of 50,- 000 to follow on the ,15th." This makes clear the meaning of general Chaffee's dispatch that Yang Tsung was the objective point, j The war department has been puzzled on this point; * It would appear, however, from general Terauchi's "dispatch that the first force., of 16,000 men, having opened up communications to Yang Tsun, brought forward supplies and established this advance .base, the.' way would then .be , clear for cthe-advance of the larger force.bh-'th"ejl5th.,. The capture of Yang Tsuii 'is' therefore an important strategic branch of the fast ,maturing;military plans.', -,'j. ��� Aside from, the military ^developments of the day, the diplomatic aspect was made clearer.by- the publication of a 'demand made by the United States upon the imperial government of China and transmitted to minister Wu last evening. Minister Wu worked assiduously on the message during the day, translating it first from English to Chinese and then into the cipher code of China. ��� Owing to the gravity of the document, this work required exactness and time, but it is probable that the message is by this time on its way to the Chinese government. . This action by the United States was solely on its own responsibility, -without consulting other powers as to the advisability of the demand. The. J use of the word demand in the note -thoroughly-^indicates-the^urgeney" of the message. In the technical parlance of diplomacy it differs from an ultimatum, which usually fixes a date or sets a time within which there must be compliance, the failure of compliance during this stated time being a ground'for war. While a demand is less specific as to the time of compliance, it none the less asserts a positive right which the government will enforce if the right be not conceded. Owing to the difficulties of communication with Pekin it is expected that some days must elapse before an answer can be received, and there is a disposition to grant all reasonable time for its transmission. Berlin, August 0.���The German foreign office, in confirming to the correspondent of 'the Associated Press this afternoon the report of count von Waldersee's appointment, said this was only to the command of the German forces in China and that the question as to whether he would command all the international forces had not yet been, settled. Berlin, August 9.���The foreign office has received the following dispatch from Herr von Buelow, first secretary of the German legation at Pekin, dated Tsin Anko: '"Since July 21st, the situation has not changed. There have been neither attacks by the troops or masses upon us, nor shell fire, only desultory rifle fire. The health of the members of the legation is comparatively good." Berlin, August 9.���The government has another telegram from Herr von Buelow, first secretary of the German* legation in Pekin, not dated, which, says: "'The French legation building which was also destroyed bfy* the Boxers not only affprtJed shelter to the members of thcrPrench 'legation, who are all in good.health,'cbut also to the members of the,Austrian legation, who soiight refuse there after the complete destruction of their own building. ;The French legation building is Surrounded by Boxers." The nnmtfei- of volunteers from the army Reserves who have sig; nified thei'fr.willinguess to go to China48said',to^be 120,000. From this^numberJitHs understood that a corps" exceeding-.20,000 ,will be formed. A portion of the corps will leave within a fortnight,,or as soon as the cabinet meeting" called for tomorrow, ihall harve given its consent to the*project. , London, \Aiigust 10.���41 a.m.���In the capture.of -Yang Tsung the loss of the allies, according to a dispatch, to the DailycExpress' from Che-Foo on'August 8th, purporting to give an account of- the engagement; were' 200i the majority of, these* being killed. , ' f - " . ' ' "' , The "allies=7 marched on Yang Tsung, ,says this^report, at dawn on Monday. Thei? position held by 1500 Chinese .was' well entrenched to the east of, the river.

"! :lt ' - . /Another 'dispatch'"'to the same paper, dated Tien-Tsin, August 6th, recounts a reconnaissance that morning by. the Japanese beyond Hsiku) the result ^beihg that, the enemy was developed in strong force, well fortified at Wei Jo. The Chinese were superior in numbers, and after ffaeing, the fire of seven guns, the Japanese retired on Hsiku with three killed.and tvyenty-seven wounded, bu'tj'fiaving captured. 200 horses. > - ,~_l }' ���* - .��� . '��� _ ' With the exception of these messages-general Chaffee's report is the only .report-published by the London morning,papers: telling of the capture of;" Yang Tsun. The editorials generally incline to the view that the, progress toward Pekin has been- splendid-"thus far, but one which cannot be maintained at the present rapid Tate, as the concentration'of-supplies "and the establishments���ba"sj2s "will"' .cause inevi7 table delays;. The collector* of customs at Shang-Hai has; received a routine message 'from sir Robert Hart, director-general of imperial customs, showing that the latter is- still conducting'the business of imperial customs, a rather curious state of affairs, when taken in conjunction with the words "happily still-alive," which he included in the dispatch which was - dated Pekin, July 27th. Commenting upon Washington's latest communication to the Chinese government, the Daily Chronicle describes it as "idyllic diplomacy," and- it declares that the Chinese attempts to get the ministers to leave Pekin, as described by M. Pinchon, have convinced everybody except the Washington officials that a steady application of force is the "only"_argument_Pekin can understand. Washington, August 0.���Acting secretary McAdo of the state department tonight made public the following cablegram from consul Fowler at Che-Foo, which reached the department at 11 o'clock: . "Che-Foo, August 9.���Secretary of state, Washington. I telegraphed the governor yesterday protesting agaiust limiting.my. correspondence with Conger, and requesting the governor to forward to Pekin. The governor telegraphs as follows: Received note from tsung li yamen, dated August 5th. Yamen just received an edict permitting ministers to have peaceful secret telegraphic :���< communication . with their countries. All ministers at Pekin have telegrams for transmission to their governments. It is proposed, after dispatching same, to send originals to consuls for verification. (Signed,) 7Fojvler." Washington, August 9.���A member of the cabinet said today that there was no question as to the acquiescence of this government in; the selection of field marshal count von Waldersee as commander-in-chief of the allied forces in the Chinese eampaign. If the count's appointment to command the German troops meant such selection, the appointment, it was suggested, doubtless . meant that the Berlin government proposed largely to augment its forces in China in the near future. The same official added that in all probability the allied forces would be in possession of the Chinese capital before count von Waldersee could land in China. LEAD MINING WILL BENEFIT From Advanced Prices. Kaslo, August 0.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Wars and rumors of wars have their effect on the lead market. It' is noticed here that a few days ago the price of lead was higher in London- than New York, aud siuce then the price in the latter place has been fixed from London. This fact is one full of significance for the silver-lead districts of British Columbia. G. O. Buchanan, president of the Kaslo Board of Trade, in an interview today stated that the price of lead had hot only been higher in London than in New York, but ,it had risen, to the highest point attained in recent years there, while on thev other hand it had fallen in New York. On July 16th last, he pointed out, lead was higher in New York than in London, being .$3.80 as compared with -��17-10-0, which is , equal to $3.77. But on August" ,1st the price in London rose to $3.90 per 100 pounds net, and forced the New York price up. "On the present prices" said Mr. Buchanan, "the Trail smelter could settle with customers for ore crrrying 50 per cent lead on a basis better by $8.53 per ton than could be allowed by United States smelters. I have no explanation to offer as to the, decline in New York- except that it probably -indicates the inability of the lead trust to sustain longer an artificial ���price.?. The rise in London suggests that the world-wide demand J. for. ammunition has absorbed the lead supply. Even if an early cessation of. hostilities arrives the impetus given to the war Spirit, the vivid object /lessons lately presented to the .world of preparing in peace foiv war, are.causes calculated to keep' the. makers of ammunition busy for years to come. At the time of the Civil War in the United Statesrlead "stood at $200 per ton, or $10 per 100 pounds. No doubt the nations of the world will at once get in large supplies of ammunition and^ those who are figuring on the contracts are looking around to see where the supplies' of lead are coming from. This is an opportunity for some one ..to. erect a ^.smelter at-Kaslo. The 'Trail sinelter isabout-toput up two. more lead.stacks,-butTn"either it,"nor' any other, smelter in British Columbia is conveniently, placed for��� the. treatment, of lead ores, and hone was located, with primary, reference to that class of business.' - A smelter at Kaslo would have "direct communication with the chief source of supply, which is the Slocan camp. It would, have open communication at all sections of the year with the Crow's Nest Pass terminus and with the limestone . quarries. It Avould have access.by water,with both the C.P.R. and the Great Northern railway systems, thus having in its favor a combination of circumstances which would enable those in control of it to command the lead situation." ��� ����� __Another-important-fact-to-which Mr. Buchanan referred was this; namely,' that in view of the present lead situation the free admission of Canadian ores into the United States becomes a matter of small consequence. Will Not Wait for .Railways.. . Kaslo, August ��.���[Special to The Tribune.] ��� Another Lardo- Duncan concern which is going to follow the lead of the Lavinah and will not wait for the raihvay, is the any previous night this season the reports from different points along the river .indicate that'the biff run expected for several days has not yet put in an appearance. The reports from the- traps show that a big school is on its way to the Fraser and should enter the river any day now. Most of the boats avertgefrom fifty, to. 100 for the whole week on the Fraser. A few had 400, while one lucky man brought in 274 as the result of one night's fishing. mm Lost Mountain Mines, a subsidiary company of the Mining & Financial Trust. This compauy is working on the Giant claim now blocking out ore. Superintendent F. H. Lantz who was in Kaslo the other day said: "The Giant has one of the best showings in the Lardo. We have a nice lot of clean ore on the dump and we haye ore in the No. 1 and No. 2 tunnels. AVe are raising on the No. 1 and we are going to continue the No.; 2 in about 100 feet further and then raise to connect with the No. 1 raise. In the Giant we have about two feet of concentrating ore and an average of about six inches of clean ore." Captain Campbell, A.* Palmer and E. King have just returned from Meadow creek, in the Lardo, where they own the Central, Kaslo and Lardo claims. They have a showing of six inches of galena. They have.placed two men at work on the property. - Salmon Catch Poor. Vancouver, August 0.���The salmon catch continues poor. Although there were a larger number of fishermen out yesterday than on HUNTER TAKES 4000 BOERS With Horses and Guns. London, August'9.���The following report, dated Pretoria, August Sth, has been'received "from lord Roberts: "Kitchener was informed yesterday by an escaped British prisoner that .Dewet's wagons had crossed the' Vaal. .'Afterwards he heard the sound of guns, which I think must have been Methuen's as I directed him to take up apposition between Petchefstroom and Lind- ique, which could intercept .-.the enemy, who crossed the river at Dewet's Driftl~ '- ' , J'Kitchener, is ..crossing the yaal with cavalry and mounted infantry.

The garrison of Elands river, which I fear has been captured," consists of about 300 - bushmen and' Rhodes- ians. " I had ��� hoped that Carrington had been in time. to withdraw the garrisons', but.it seems.that Delarey hearing of Ian Hamilton's approach to Rnstenburg,. hurried- westward and surrounded the garrison before Carrington arrived. - * ' - ���.----,' . " Methuen telegraphed that *he had^' engaged' a", part of ^Dewet's force yesterday; near Bentorskroon^ He drove the enemy off a succession of hills, which they held obstinately.

Yang Tsun is the town' which general Chaffee indicated in .his dispatch received late yesterday as being the objective of' the'_international forces on their Pekin'movement. It is at the junction of the Pei Ho and the railroad leading to Pekin. Its .capture will insure the international troops, 16 is hoped, two routes of transportation to Pekin. Warren (JoihiHome. - London, August 9.���The follow- ing_dispatch_from-lord-Roberts-has been received at the war office: "As Warren has pacified the western districts of Cape Colony I am allowing him to ' return home and am placing the whole of the troops in the colony under.'

Humbert's Funeral Train.
Rome, August 9.—The funeral
train bearing the remains of-king
Humbert left Monsea at 4:28 p.m.
. yesterday accompanied by the duke
of Aosta, the count of Turin and
the duke of Oporto. A large crowd
witnessed its departure in silence.
At 4:40 p.m. the train reached Milan
where all the authorities and an
immense crowd was assembled at
the raihvay station. The widowed
queen and princess Marie Pia
arrived here at 0 o'clock this
evening. In accordance with
the former's desire there was
no reception at the depot.
The party proceeded at onco to the
Quirinal, escorted by the Cuiras-
seurs, the spectators along the route
bowing their heads respectfully.
People from the various cities and
towns through which the train
passed say the populace displayed
signs of the deepest sorrow and of
loyalty. The decoration of Rome
is almost completed and already
the scene is extraordinary. The
bells were tolled-as the coffin was
taken from the royal villa. On the

Not Looking for Territory.
New York, August 9—The Commercial Advertiser today prints the
following special: "Boston, August -9.—Secretary Long -.has left
Hingham for his vacation at Buck-
port, Maine. Before leaving he said:
'We are not looking for territorial
aggrandisement in China and-would
be content with proper indemnity.
I think China will see the necessity of submitting to our demand,
thus obviating war. Other powers
may fight, despite 'the deliverance
of foreigners. I can only speak for
the part America' will -play. I 'do
not believe that the statement of a

minister that he cannot leave the
capital "of a country without danger
to his life is equivalent to a declaration of war "from the country which
threatens him. I think the affair
will work itself out amicably. In
view of these facts, as I believe
them, an extra session of congress,
is unnecessary.'"

The railway charter mongers
have made theirappearanceat Victoria' again. They are after the
subsidy of $4000 per mile which
was offered in the lapsed charter
to the V. V. & E. Company for a
short line from Kootenay to' the
Coast. The former holders of the
concession were unable to do anything with it within the time limit,
-but-their^failure-will-not~""detef~
others from making the attempt.
It remains to be seen whether the
legislature will revive the old policy
of permitting charter mongers to
absorb the bonuses which are voted
supposedly to defray the cost of
railway, construction. This policy
was denounced from one end of the
province to the other during the
recent political campaign, but it
may be one of the many issues that
are lost sight of by members when
their seats are won.
The Australian colonies have decided to send a contingent to China.
All told the force will not amount
to more than 650 officers and men,
but it is sent as an earnest of their
willingness to assist the empire in
any portion of the globe.
Bay iStores
Messrs Mackenzie and Mann,
the railway contractors and promoters, have returned from Eng-
.Now that everything has commenced to move along again it is
about time some one revived the
story about the blowing in of .the
furnace in the Pilot Bay smelter.

far has been heard of the Wilson

The rent was reasonable and the premises , with some alterations would make an excellent gymnasium. A committee of Messrs. Jarvis, Bliss and Hyslop was appointed to procure information as to the cost of altering the building and equipping it with apparatus. A report on these points is to be presented at the next meeting. QUEEN BESS DEVELOPMENT. At the recent meeting of the shareholders of the Queen Bess Proprietary Company the report of engineer Wpakes was read dealing with the progress being made on the long tunnel 'which is being driven on the Queen Bess. In the course of this report Mr. Wbakes says: "From all 1 have seen of the mine, I am more than ever convinced that both the vein arid ore chutes are much better defined: and continuous in the lower levels than in the upper*. I regard this as an indication that we may -expect larger and more easily worked ore bodies in the ground now being, opened up in the main tunnel." The machine drills were finally got to work on,June 3rd. They would, of course, push the drivage of the main tunnel all they were able. Mr. Scott hoped to be able to drive Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M. LAY, Manager. 200 feet a month. In fact, during the last month, when the drills had been at work���it * was ��� only hand drilling' before���180 feet'had been driven. They were now in -900 feet, and expected to get into the oi-e at between 1200 feet and 1300 'feet. They should make a connection at the shaft at 150_0_feet, so that_they_ might expect in three or four months > this - part- of the - development work completed, and opening up a vast body of ore. Of course, from the main shaft they should send out intermediate levels to open up the ore,~but the main part of the development work would then be done." r, - Experience of a Pioneer. Henry Cody, a pioneer of Kootenay is in town. He came to . the country in 1883 and located several of the "well known properties at Ainsworth. It was at Ainsworth in the early days Mr.' Cody bad an experience which 'few -men ever lived to tell. He had .descended to the-bottom of the shaft in a claim he was working to fire seven shots. Just as he had fired the last fuse his candle went out, and he remained to relight it. A few seconds later the first shot went off, and then the other six in rapid succession. Mr. Cody remained at the bottom of.-/the shaft till the fusillade was over, and then as-> cended to the-surface -considerably battered, but still in the ring. . New Officers Arrive. Adjutant and Mrs. McGill of the Salvation army, arrived last night from the Coast, en route from Skagway, Alaska. They were met at the depot'by the band and mem-, bers of the local corps, and escorted to the barracks, where a warm welcome was extended to them. They will take charge of the corps in this city. Adjutant McGill has been engaged in army work for thirteen years in the Northwest and Manitoba previous to going to Alaska. Mrs. McGill, who was formerly captain <Aikenhead, has been stationed at various points on the Coast, including -Victoria arid Nanaimo. . A Heavy Storm. Cornwall, Ontario, August 7.��� The heaviest thunderstorm on record passed over-this city last night, doing immense damage to crops and orchards in the neighborhood. The**graud stand in the'exhibition grounds, the basement of which was used for exhibition pur- poses/was lifted by the wind and deposited in the street. The Grand Trunk Railway's Company's roundhouse and depot" were completely demolished. Killed By a Bull Lindsay, Ontario, August 9.���F. D.

Ifc offered two guineas reward for the capture of ex-president Kruger of the defunct Transvaal republic, and described Oom Paul in facetious expressions. The officials of the Baptist church have received word from Rev. H.H. Hall of Portage la Prairie declining the invitation to Nelson. A couple ot campers coming into the city yesterday were alarmed by shrieks from several ladies on the shore who cried that a man was drowning. The campers paddled toward the object in the water to find that ifc was Harry Parks' black dog swimming home from the city. James- A. Macdonald of Cane & Macdonald, architects, has received his commission as government architect; for the post office buildings to be erected at Nelson. The communication stated that the plans were not completed yet and that they would be forwarded on completion. ��� A Nelson company have commenced operations on the. Leviathan property on Campbell creek, opposite Kaslo. The "work 'is in charge of Matthew Gutman. Tracklaying at the Procter end of the Balfour extension is suspended owing to a difficulty with "the laborers employed on the work. These consider the work worth more than the $1.75 per day paid by the Canadian Pacific railway, and of the 70 men who started on Saturday last only about a dozen remained at. work. The balance came into Nelson and most of them cashed their checks yesterday. E. P. Burns, who built the Ten Mile Point section of the Balfour extension, is moving his outfit today. He has secured some work on the O." R. & N. near Tacoma, Washington. ���: Dr. LaBau is, establishing, a camp about four, and one-half miles up the" north shore of the lake. R. H. .Williams and wife and C. Matthews and wife will be among the party. The launch Donna will ply to and from the camp daily. ' Theright of way for the Molly Gibson tramway has been cleared and the work of erecting the line will be commenced the first of next week. A party of carpenters will go up in a day or two to build the stations. The line will be 8,000 feet long from the mine to the road and is of the Lanark> pattern. The company's intention is to build a concentrator eventually and the tramway is being put in with a, view to. this - contingency. The Molly Gibson will recommence shipping six weeks hence. . - Work is being pushed on the addition to H. Byers & Co's. warehouse on the water front. The steamer Denver is being over- haule"d_at"the"CrPrR7 shipyard; = The fishing season is now in full swing, several large catches having been reported recently. The organization of the Nelson Mining Company, recently incorporated under the provincial act, has been completed, officers being elected as follows: George W. Taylor, president; Robert Robertson, vice-president; Robert Mac- Gregor, " secretary-treasurer; J. Laing Stocks, managing-director; S. S. Taylor, Q. C, solicitor. The company has several prospects in sight. The city authorities are in somewhat of a quandary as to the disposition of the Twombly lad who is alleged to have been deserted by his parents.. There is apparently no provision for placing the boy in a reformatory and an effort is to be made to locate the father, who is now said to be in the Atlin country. A mechanical roaster is to be added to the plant of the Hall Mines smelter at once. The apparatus is costly, but expedites the process of smelting and decreases the cost of reduction. The company had intended, erecting the roaster last spring and the excavations had been made, the shut-down intervened and the operations were suspended. J. J. Campbell, commercial manager, informed The Tribune yesterday that he had been authorized to proceed at once with the roaster, and that building would-be started without delay. With regard to the date of blowing in Mr. Campbell remarked that it j was impossible to state definitely when this would take place. The calciners were at work and and the smelter must have a reserve of ore before blowing in. The local quoiters have decided that after the tournament now under way is concluded the members of the club: will be formed into sides to play for a:-banquet to be provided by the losers. The tournament will be continued- tonight, weather permitting. William R. Albi- charged with attempted murder, was released from the provincial jail last night on bail. The bonds were, fixed at $10,000, and sureties were furnished by James V. Welch, the railroad contractor, .who is a counsin of fche defendant, and other part- ties. N. E.Nuzum, barrister of Spokane, was in the city last night and arranged for Albi's liberation. H. D. Ashcroft, who left here some time ago for the Winnipeg exhibition, will. take in the Paris exposition before his return. ; Mining Records.
