NELSON: WEDNESDAY MQBNING OCTOBER 24 1900 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE YERDICT WAS WELL A Remarkiable Scene in Court When the Jury Found Young Chenoweth Not Guilty. THE LITTLE PRISONER THE MOST UNCONCERNED OF ALL The Chenoweth murder trial vound up with a genuine sensation j eirei-day afternoon. "When the rase whs turned over to the jury foreman Gilchrist rose in his 'seat Mild announced that the jury had already arrived at a verdict, which was" "not guilty." The crowded courtroom broke into hearty cheers and applause. Hats were thrown into the air, feet were stamped and the enthusiasm prevailed for several minutes. The court .officials shouted for order, but their appeals could not be distinguished. Altogether the scene was such as has not been witnessed in a British Col? uuibia courtroom within the knowledge of any of the counsel present yesterday. The case.itself was of an unusual nature, and t the outcome lifted it away above the commonplace. It was noticeable that t.he reproof administered ' to the spectators by Mr. justice Walkem was of a mild nature. The most unconcerned person in the room was Ernest Chenoweth, the seven year old boy in the dock. He played with a watch uutil the. continual falling of the timepiece on the floor annoyed the court and it was taken away. Then he was given a piece of elastic and this served to amuse him for the balance of the day. The boy's mother sat beside A. If. MaeNeill, Q.C., who appeared for'the defence. When the rase drew to a close the court koom was packed to its utmost capacity, several officials who had gone but earlier fjiiliug.to,,gGt.,in.. again .be- civlftie of "the crush [ Excitement ran high but the little prisoner was Unite indifferent and manifested not the slightest interest in the proceedings, ' When court resumed yesterday morning C. W. Lurtey, a gun maker, was placed v on the stand. lie testified that the- ball whicli killed tho Chinaman had been fired from a smooth bore ritle, while the gun produced in court aud alleged to be the one used by Ernest Chenoweth was rifled and would have left marks of the rilling on the bullet. His inference was that the prisoner could not have killed the celestial. Durney, Simpson and Matheson, three men employed on the Rossland . waterworks, swore that - young Chenoweth had* told them he had shot the Chinaman and that *'he had never seen a man die so quick." The whole conversa tion was conducted in a bantering spirit, the men being pleased with the"lad's repartee aud attaching no weight to what he had said. Constable Raymer was put on the stand and was about to refer to a confession claimed to have been made by the boy, when Mr. MaeNeill objected ' strenously. The court ordered the jury to retire while the point was being argued, lest something might reach them outside of the regular channels of evidence. After the matter was discussed his honor ruled that .the alleged confession could not be admitted. This closed the case for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defence, and counsel addressed.the.jury. Judge Walkem also delivered his charge, which ,was regarded as favoring the defence. He drew the jury's attention to the fact that the only penalty provided by the law in the case of a conviction for murder was that of death. The jury then returned its unanimous verdict without the formality of retiring, aud the sensational scene already .referred to followed. The last case on the criminal docket was that of Regina vs. Thompson and Henderson, the defendants being charged with assaulting a peace officer. A sheriff's deputy was in possession' of the Strand saloon and the defendants interfered with him. ��� When the case was called lion. T. Mayne Daly and A. H. MaeNeill appeared for the defendants. They" pleaded guilty to the charge and tendered an apology to the, assaulted- officer. This was accepted by -the' crown, and the court imposed a fine of $20 and costs each. The grand jury was discharged at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They haveprepared a presentmehtdealing with the' conditiou of the court house and other matters, which will be filed with the registrar to be forwarded to the department. In Regina vs. Walker the crown announced that no prosecution would be made and W. A. Galliher, who represented the defendant, was informed ��� that his client was discharged. Court resumes this morning when the civil list will be commenced. The criminal sittings have been the most-expensive in the history of Nelson, but a noticeable feature in this connection was that the local cases tried were dispatched at a trifling cost to the province. BACK FROM JOHANNESBURG Story of Life There. Major F. II. Brennan, M. D., of Peterboro, has just returned to Toronto from South Africa, where he has lived for the last five years, having established a medical prac-' tice and drug business at Johannesburg. There were,vin addition to himself, between 200 and 300 Canadians resident in that city, besides a considerable number of Americans who had been born in Canada, numbering in all about nine hundred. A Canadian Association was formed, of which Dr. Brennan was made president. When the Canadian government endorsed Great Britain's action regarding the Transvaal, the association, true to its native instinct, met and declared themselves in sympathy with Great Britain. This, not unnaturally, invited the enmity of of the Boer officials, and Dr. Brennan, who had been chairman of the meeting, came in for very severe treatment at the hands of the Johannesburg press. This was the only exciting incident in the history of the club. The construction of the Boer army and the condition of affairs before the war,. are described by Dr. Brennan as follows: "Preparations for war had been going on all the time I lived in the country. Arms were constantly being imported and immense supplies of ammunition purchased. The recognized rifle at one time had been the Martini, but ever on the alert for supposed improvement, the Mauser had . been substituted by the government. The only regular militia was what was known as the Staats Artillery, stationed at Pretoria, and it was a military body in every sense of the term. Enlistment was for three years, and the corps was officered from the training schools of Holland. "For military purposes the country was divided into electoral districts, each being presided over by a commandant. These districts were subdivided into wards, in charge of field cornets. "Every man in the country between the ages of 10 and 00 was was liable for military service, and subject to the summons of the field cornet of his ward. Being summoned, he had to present himself equipped with rifie, iSO rounds of ammunition, a horse and a food supply for a number of days. The commandant assumed control of all the menjln his district, while the whole force of the country was under the commandant-general, who was the only official, beside the president, elected by a full vote of the country. "To stimulate military proficiency, large supplies of ammunition were bought, and every encouragement was given to what would be known in -Canada as target practice; and yet the Boers, contrary to imagination, did not prove to be exceptionally fine shots, at least during the war. True it is that a volunteer corps had been formed in Johannesburg, composed of men of all nationalities, but this had been disbanded about a year previous to the war. "For weeks before the commencement of hostilities (October 11th) the commandoes had been preparing to cross the border immediately upon the declaration of war," said Dr. Brennan. All the British residents in Johannesburg had thought it the best policy to leave the town, the doctor himself receiving a hint to get out or run the risk of being tried for treason, on account of the attitude of the Canadian Association. He proceeded to Durban, and cabled to Canada, applying for enlistment in the first contingent. He received no immediate reply, and so accepted a vacancy as ship surgeon on a transport going to India. On tlie first of February he was appointed medical- superintendent of hospital ship.No. 29, in which capacity lie served until July, when he was transferred to one of 52 transports which were conveying Germans and Hollanders home to their native lands. A NEW STEEL ENTERPRISE CAPITALIZED AT $12,000,000 BY PITTSBURG MEN. He Got Tired. Nrw York, October 23.���August Mirandi, a nineteen year old -Porto Rican, who came from Rochester yesterday, committed suicide in his room on the top floor of No. 313 .West. Fourteenth street today by inhaling gas. The photograph of a young woman lay alongside his body and with it was his own picture. A long letter in Spanish, apparently from an uncle, lay open on the table. There was nothing written in explanation of the boy's act. VON BUELOW IS FRIENDLY EXPLAINS HIS POSITION AND VISITS VARIOUS COURTS. German Troops Said to be Suffering In Health in China���Government to be Indemnified. Berlin, October_23.���AhiglCom-- ciar-bf the German foreign office asserted this evening that Austria, Hungary and Italy have expressed their formal adherence to the Anglo-German agreement, but that France, Russia and the United States have not defined their positions. Berlin, October 23.���Count von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, authorized the Associated Press to say that his accession to the chancellorship will mean no change in Germany's friendly attitude toward the United States,'either politically or commercially. ��� Today ���the chancellor visited the diplomatic representatives of the other German states and it is said that he will soon make ceremonious visits to the courts of Saxony, Ba- varia_and"Baden7 = " Berlin, October 23. ��� Advices from China show that the German troops are)suffering in health. News of the death of three from disease was cabled home today. When the attention of the German foreign office was called to the successes of the rebels in Kwang-Tung province and the question was asked whether the powers had yet discussed their attitude toward the rebellion a high official replied in the negative but implied that it would soon become necessary to discuss that point. The papers say the first measure that will be introduced in the reichstag will be a bill indemnifying the government for the expenditure on the China expedition. <' Guerrilla Attacks. Cape Town, October 23.���Guerrilla attacks by the Boers are still giving great trouble. General French encountered opposition in his march from Carolina to Bethel, his casualties numbering 36. After the arrival of lord Methuen at Seeruste there was a reconnaisj ance in force northward, which resulted in the discovery of a large body of Boers, who were only dispersed after an artillery and infantry fire lasting four horn's. The British had four killed and ten wounded. The Boers take shelter in farm houses, which are crowded >with women and children. Lord Roberts is distributing a fresh circular to the effect that Boers voluntarily surrendering, who have never taken the oath of neutrality, would not be exiled but would be permitted to. return to their farms at the conclusion of hostilities.

STOLE ALMOST A MILLION From a New York Bank. New York, October 23.���It was learned this afternoon' that C. LV Alvord, note teller of'the First National Bank at Broadway, and Wall streets; was accused of .heavy thefts and had disappeared. Shortly before 4 o'clock tho bank gave, out the" following statement: "The note teller, who has been in the employ of the First (National Bank for many years, is a defaulter to a large amount: His operations have continued for a considerable period and have been skillfully concealed through a manipulation of his balance book. The discovery was made by one of the bank's employees a few days after the completion of an examination of the bank by the United States examiners. "During the continuance of his predatious, periodical examinations have been made by several distinct corps of examiners representing the comptroller's department, all expert accountants, and the bank has also had frequent independent examinations, neither of which has developed any irregularity. The aggregate, of the false entries, amounting to $700,000, has been charged off on the books of the bank out of the reserve fund without diminishing the surplus and profits of the bank.as reported in its last published statement." It is expected tlie shortage will be materially reduced by a substantial amount of which there is a fair prospect of recovery. Spain's New Ministry. Madrid, October 53.���Tho new Spanish cabinet took the oath of office today. The now ministry of Spain is composed as follows: President of the council, general Azcar- raga; minister of foreign affairs, marquis Aguilar Campos; minister of war, general Linares; minister Of finance, Senor Allen de Salajar; minister of the interior, Senor Ugarte; minister of justice, marquis Nadillo; minister of public instruction, Senor Garcia; minister of agriculture and public works, Senor Sanchez Toca. The post of minister of marine had" not been filled when these names were cabled tonight from Madrid. Senor Sagasta, the former premier and Liberal leader, declares the new cabinet will hasten the ruin of the Conservatives. He believes a great mistake was made in not giving the naval portfolio to Senor Sanchez Toca, and that it was an equal mistake to retain general Linares as minister of war. The press points out that five of the ' nine" ministers are generals. Tho official organ of the army declares the time has arrived to undertake energetically the reorganization of the army. No Clew Discovered. New York, October 23.���Attorneys for the Elizabethport Banking Company have opened the safe deposit box in-the" Bans of New Amsterdam formerly held by Mrs. Annie Hart, but assigned to the bank -last week, and supposed to contain valuables bought with the money stolen by William Schrieber, the defaulting clerk. The lawyers refuse to say what were the contents of the box, but they say there was nothing connected' even recently with Schrieber's defalcations nor anything which might furnish a clew to his present where- ���abouts. WILL BE RELEASED TODAY BADLY IN MONEY FROM FRANCE RECEIVFD YESTERDAY. Ernest Mansfield Refuses to Sell His Interest in the Joker to tho - French Syndicate. '" Ernesto-Mansfield will p'robably be set at liberty this-morning. Yesterday morning he received from his principals in Lille, France, a cablegram stating that they had wired the funds owing for wages in Camp Mansfield to John A. Turner, government agent. As the message did not arrive until.after banking hours Mr. Mansfield had to spend another night in durance vile. The cablegram contained another and equally interesting clause. The French capitalists offered to purchase from him a large proportion of his Joker shares at a figure double the present Loudon quotations.' The offer was promptly refused. It is understood that Mr. Mansfield has a double-barrelled gun loaded for his French princi- pals. One .is a suit for damages arising out of his arrest and imprisonment here. Tho second is an action under the English Companies Act to compel the management to reopen the Joker mine and to set aside the transfer of the Excelsior Mining Company's assets to the new corporation, and which Mr. Mansfield claims has very materially injured the value of his Excelsior stock. To dispose of his shares now would injure his standing before the courts and it is his intention to force a showdown at the earliest possible moment. It is understood that Mr. Mansfield will proceed to England within a few days, and that he will remain there until the close of the litigation which has been precipitated by the events of the past week.

Grand Jury Calls Attention to the Unsanitary Condition: of the Present Building. ���:p��&-| LACK OF VENTILATION A SERIOUS MENACE TO HEALT' Tho grand jury which concluded its duties yesterday by handing their presentment into court has nothing good, to say in-regard to the Nelson, court house. After referring in complimentary terms to Mr. justice- Walkem the presentment says: "We desire to direct attention to the condition of the court house. It lacks, almost shamefully, sufficient accommoda- tion-for the purpose for which it is intended.- As your lordship is aware there are no proper rooms for the juries, all being obliged to herd in.one small room whicli has also to accommodate the law library, while it is' not "too - much to say that your health has _ suffered for want of ventilation,- and all whose, duties have compelled them to be present within the' ill-ventilated court room "have been seriously inconvenienced and'discomforted. We desire, therefore, that the strongest possible representation be made to the proper authorities of the necessity for a new aiid properly constructed court house in the flourishing city of Nelson.'.' The jury also calls attention to a needed reform at" the piovincial gaol in the following words: Opening from the much frequented office we found the watch cell or place of confinement for. prisoners committed for, capital crimes and awaiting the carrying out of their sentences."'

It is said to have $100,000,000 worth of ore in sight. It is said that this ore will net the shareholders in tho company that owns the mine $33,333,333.33. It is said that this -great mine is shipping 20,000 tons of ore a month to smelters at North port and Trail. And it is said that tho owners of this great mine absolutely refuse to pay the jirov- ince of British Columbia a dollar in the way of taxe.��, alleging as a reason that the ore mined and shipped does not pay the costs of hauling the ore to Northport .and smelting it there. If this is-a .state.-- in en t of fact,-the public Tn,; Great Britain should be made aware of it, for the shares of the company are selling at a price that indicates that the ore is mined and smelted at a large profit. The provincial government should briug the managers of the Le Roi mine up with a found turn. A jail sentence for six months for making false returns would do them a power of good. How much injury would be done the province and the shareholders of tho Le Roi company were the fact spread broadcast by the London Financial News and other newspapers that tho ore of the great lie Hoi mine at Rossland was absolutely valueless as a mining proposition; that -it contains so small -values that the gold and copper in it are not sufficient to pay the freight and treatment charges, to say nothing of the cost of mining? Is the ore from the Le Roi valueless, or are the managers of the Lo Hoi guilty of perjury? A Labor Organ Called Down. Greenwood Miner. ��� It is sincerely to be hoped that the labor candidate for Yale-Koote- nay-Cariboo does not hold similar views to those held by the editor of the Rossland Industrial- World. One of the fundamental principles of the International Typographical Union, of which both the editor of the Nelson Tribune and the editor of the Industrial World are members, is individual independence in all matters outside the composing room. If the editor of the Tribune is to be knifed .politically for supporting the party he thinks will best govern the country, many workers in the labor ranks have .been mistaken in regard,to union principles. John Houston has been a consistent union man for a quarter of a century, the editor of the Industrial World has been a member of a union for about one-fifth of that time. Since his first newspaper venture in British Columbia ���rthe Donald - Truth���twelve or thirteen years ago, John Houston has . advocated the cause of. working men. In all their fights he has been with them. Previous to tlie organization of a typographical union in Rossland he paid his printers twenty per cent higher wages than any other paper in the interior of British Columbia. During .the eight-hour agitation his was the only daily paper in the province that supported the men'as against .the" Mine,. Owners' Association. If John Houston's unionism is a "back number" variety, may providence protect us from the "front number" kind advocated by the Industrial World.. If the editor of Tiie.Trih- <usr believes that the country would be benefitted by the election of one of,the old party candidates, he has a right to that belief, and Mr. Foley's cause will not be strengthened by calling Mr. Houston a traitor and a back number. Unionists .who use such arguments are either bigots or sissys, and the central committee of the Independent Labor party will gain, votes-by suppressing .the verdant scribe of the Industrial World. If Chris Foley wins in this contest it will be by brains and. the principles advocated by his party.: In order to have the former commodity enter largely into the editorial-part���of^the-campaign- it- will be very necessary to remodel the staff of Rossland's labor paper.

Nelson will have a distinguished ecclesiastical visitor today in the person of nionseigneur Falconio, apostolic delegate to Canada.- Mgr. Falconio is the head of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the Dominion by reason of his powers as tho pope's special representative, and occupies a position of prominence in tho public eye. lie is an Italian who has spent many years ^u English- speaking countries and acquired a thorough knowledge of the Anglo- Saxon tongue and manners. The apostolic delegate's personality- is striking and impressive, but he is affable and polished withal. Since assuming his important duties in Canada he has made hosts of friends and few, if any, enemies. Mgr.

SLOCAN JUNCTION HOTEL J. H. m'cMANUS, Manager PLATFORM Adopted by the Liberal-Conservative Party in Convention at Revelstoke, September 15th, 1900 We, tho delegates of the Liberal-Conservative party of Yale-Cariboo constituency, iu convention assembled, reaffirm the principles of the party, and more particularly.that cardinal principle, protection to home industries, and that.that principle be carried out so that all sections of the country shall equally share its benefits. The one industry on which the prosperity of this constituency is almost wholly dependent is mining; and we believe that our mining'in- dnstt-ies are as fairly entitled to protection as" the manufacturing industries of-"Eastern Canada ; therefore, we advocate that'the duties on lead and lead prodi iets_bei ne reased, so that they shal 1 be as high as'tho.se now "imposed l7yr"tli<r.TJnited States on the same articles. ' That the output'of the precious metal mines is largely increasing, therefore we favor the establishment of a mint, so that the specie in circulation shall be that of our own instead of that of a foreign country.' We advocate the restriction of the immigration of Chinese and Japanese, and all classes who "cannot become good "citizens of the Dominion of Canada, and suggest the 'adoption- of the principles of the Natal Act. British' Columbia has not now the representation iu the federal parliament that she is entitled to: therefore 'we advocate that when the redistribution of seats is made that this constituency shall be given representation according.to its population: ' ' That it augurs well for the success of the party that Hugh John Macdonald has decided to leave the field of provincial politics to take part, in the larger one that affects the people of the whole "of Canada: WHOLESALE TRA'DE DERATED AND MINERAL WATERS. rPHOItPE & CO., IiIMITRD.���Corner Vernon ���*��� and Cedar streets, Nelson, manufacturers of and wholesale dealers - in aerated waters and fruit syrups.

Hero ill Fernie, iind all over the province for that matter, thuro is a class of men who are no better, iC nob worse, than Chinamen. The (Jliinamon, thanks to themselves or (lie coal company, wo do not know which, do'not work in the mines, luit. Slavs, Doulchobors, Dagos mid _mh.1i like i\o, and they are no better. The principal complaint against the '(.hinanmn is that he sends all his money out of the country. Yet we , venture to say that there is a hundred times as much money sent out of the country every year by Slavs, Dagos ami such like as there is by t'liinameu. Last Saturday was pay-day in Fernie, and a good pay-day it was ���quite sufficient, under proper conditions, to make a town double the size of Fernie lively for a month. But alas! it is not thus. And why? Too many Chinamen? No. Do the men not make good wages? Oh, yes, they all make good, big wages, but they don't spend it here. ' That's the rub. . Any one who.visited the postoffice on Monday found the money order wicket crowded with foreigners, all ��� eager to send every cent they could possibly spare out oTf the country. On the same day, before 10 o'clock in the forenoon, something over four hundred and fifty dollars was taken in at the express office for the same purpose from these people. Many of them live no better than Chinamen, about'the only difference "being that they consume more beer and get drunk whenever they keep enough of their earnings here to do so. Chinamen are'quite as sanitary as they and far more law-abiding. We have no desire to champion the-cause of Chinamen���far., from it, but simply desire to show that a great deal of fuss is being made about Mongolian labor when we have in our midst an ever-increasing horde of white foreigners who are'no better, but of whom seldom a word is ever heard from labor agitators and politicians. The town of Fernie is certainly a good town for its age, but how much better would it be were every man in the employ of-the coal'company a good Britisher instead of a THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON ���Established in Nelson in 1890.

Had this $(5000 been distributed among the business men, as the greater, portion of it would have had it been earned by British subjects, every man, .woman and child in the town would have benefitted bv_it, but instead of that it has left the country forever. Yet seldom or ever is a word said about this class of foreign labor, in fact many of them are welcomed as ".settlers.'1' They are not settlers. They are leeches. They simply stay in the country until they stick a knife into each other, or earn ytiffieient money to take them back from whence they came and keep themselve.'. and their relatives in ease there. A Slav is no better than a Chinaman, and a Dago is no better than ji Slav. Chinamen, Slavs and Dagos are a detriment to the, country, and always will be, and until there is a better elass of wage-earners in Fernie the town will never be what it should. If trades unions and government commissions would look into this matter thoroughly they would iind that there are thousands of so-called white men ��� foreigners ��� in the country who are more of a detriment to.it than Chinamen. Buller Again Popular. General Boiler's speech in ^sTatal in defence of his plan of campaign a year ago is the topic among British military meii, says tlie New York Tribune's London correspondent. His frankness appeals to the best instincts of English character, and will secure for him an enthusiastic reception when he returns. His judgment in making the relief of Ladysmith the first objective point Of the campaign and in preventing the Boer occupation of lower Natal is now vindicated by the Unbiased 9P.nJQn ��f .wulitary men in London. He was a victim of British over- fjonfli-tehee, whicli had forecast a Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M.- LAY, Manager. grand promenade from Cape Town to Pretoria. If he was unjustly censured for conducting a campaign in a corner instead of carrying'out his original plan, lie was rightly held responsible for failure at Coleuso and Spion Kop,although colonel Loug disobeyed orders in .one battle and general Warren was unmanageable in the other. I le was enabled to partially retrieve his reputation by subsequent good work, but there will bo no dis sent from his own manly confession that he justly lost the chief command. That general Buller was offered the chief command in succession to lord Roberts and declined il; is not officially confirmed. Boiler's tribute to sir Evelyn Wood will bo helpful iu keeping him at the post of adjutant-general, where his term will not expire for two years. Wood's deafness would have been a great.obstacle to success in the field. General Boiler's reference to the tremendous strain on the individual soldier under fire day after day ought to moderate the zeal of the agitators for sweeping and drastic military reforms. A system which develops heroism and patience in the individual ^sol- dier is not so black as it has been painted.

The death near Allentown, Pennsylvania, a few days ago of one Ileffner recalls the fact that he was one of 40 children of, John. Ileffner of Reading, who was run over by a train in that city 15 years .ago. Ileffner was one of Reading's characters and was in the full vigor of health when he was" killed at the age of 69 years. It is doubtful if .his record in the parental line has- ever been equaled in this country. lie was a dwarfed hunchback and was born in Berlin in 1816. He came to this country in 1843 and settled-in Reading. Until his death he made a living by gathering and selling rags, paper and junk. His remarkable family history is part of tlie records of the Perks county .courts, it having been elicited a short time before his death while he was a witness in a lawsuit. He was first married in 1840 and this wife bore him 17 children in eight years. Three, months later lie' married again and five years later he had, added 10 to his family. The third Mrs. Ileffner became the mother of nine children in 10 years. " One day in the fall of 1885 the father of 40. children was crossing a railroad track and was run down and instantly killed. His widow, at latest accounts, and a large imin ber of his children are still living in Reading. Too Many Partisans. Toronto Telegram. Liberals insist that there is nothing in the leadership pr policy of tho Conservative party which would justify them in preferring Tupper to Laurier. Conservatives hasten to affirm that they can see nothing in the conduct of Laurier or his government to persuade them to turn their backs on Tupper. Canadians who recognize sir Wilfrid Laurier and sir Charles Topper as' forces which can operate to retard or promote the public interest, have no particular reason to throw up their hats for either one party or the other. They have still less reason to hold aloof from politics. The man who does not vote at all is as useless to his suffering country as the man who always votes oneway. Her Skin Turns to Stone. The attention of. the medical, fraternity lias been attracted by the strange case of Miss Theresa Kop-" insky of East Titusville, Pennsylvania, who is suffering from scleroderma, whicli is practically a petrification of the skin. She has had the disease for the last 10 months. The young woman is reduced to a mere skeleton and is almost unable to move, although she eats heartily. Her skin is very hard and emits a peculiar sound when struck. She suffers intense pain. Cases of this kind are rare. Long Reign of England's Queen.

Tlie organ of the disgruntled classes of; Nelson says the street crossings are not kept as clean as they might be. A tax of $20 a month on the nickel-in-the-slot machines in cigar stores and saloons will keep every crossing in Nelson in perfect condition from now on. Captain Jlodgins reeeutly made\| application to the militia authorities for the grade of major in the Rocky Mountain Rangers. This is taken as an indication by his friends here that he proposes to return to Nelson when his term oi, service in Africa expires. ' v| Recent rains have interfered seriously with the work on the Balfour extension. The ground is too soft for teaming on the section between the city and Five-mile Point and the work is practically suspended. At Procter the carpenter crew is only working about half time owing to bad weather. Mayor Hardy of Greenwood is a guest at the .Hotel Hume, having come in to give evidence in the suit of Waterland vs. Greenwood. He states that Boundary City is commencing to forge ahead again large- ly_through���the-impetus-giveirby- smelter construction.

Henry Roy, manager of the London Consolidated and Richelieu mines, was in the city yesterday en route to Crawford Bay, where he will remain several days. He con- fi nils the report, of the closi ng of a teaming contract with . McVeigh -Brothers, and states that'the latter will haul 3000 to H000 tons of ore from the property during the winter. The wagon road will be finished shortly, and teaming will be inaugurated as soon as sufficient snow falls to make sleighing good, probably about December 1st. When the hill is covered the crew will commence rawhiding to the point oh the road where the haul begins. McVeigh Brothers expect to erect stables at both ends of the road with an aggregate accommodation for forty horses. Tho class of ore to be shipped is high-grade, the concentrating grade being saved on the "dump in contemplation of the erection of" a mill next spring. The road promises to be one of the best in the district. The grade is comparatively light, witb'a gradual slope to the lake. Ore from the Society Girl property is being shipped to the Hall Mines smelter. M.S. Logan, managing director of the Juno company, is in the city on his regular trip of inspection. Tlie development,work on the property has-been ..under way for a couple of weeks and excellent progress has been made. The nature of the rock makes, drifting on the lead comparatively cheap. Work at thp'Birds Eye mine is progressing steadily. The contract \iov 25 feet "of sinking in the shaft has been completed, and the crew is now engaged in drifting 15 feet iu each direction,.; When this is finished it is probable a 307-foot .tunnel will be driven to crosscut the lead. The property is showing up well. - Archibald Cameron,of the Yellowstone mine was in the city yesterday on business. He states that matters at the mine are progressing splendidly, and that the devele-p- ment under way. is turning out most satisfactorily. The Sheep Creek country, in which the Yellowstone is' located, has been staked from . Salmo up, and if the Yellowstone turns" out as well as is predicted the district will undoubtedly be a. centei" of activity next spring. _ J ^PERSONAL?���.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-10-24 |
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. |
