NELSON": WEDNESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 21 1900 PRICE FIVE OBNT8 MINING MATTERS OF INTEREST Headquarters of the Chapleau Company Has Been Removed From Slocan to Nelson. NEWS FROM VARIOUS PROPERTIES ALONG THE LINE The Canadian oflico of tho Chapleau Consolidated Gold Mining Company has been transferred from Slocan City to Nelson and is now located at the residence of G. L. R. Weyl who has been duly appointed the company's attorney for British Columbia. Mr. Weyl resides on Observatory street and will conduct his end of the business from Nelson, visiting the - mine when necessity demands. The mine manager, as has been stated, is P. Mourgues, the French engineer, sent out at the time of the recent trouble. Viscount de Grammont, one of the committee of directors, is still in Nelson, but leaves for Prance on December 5th. The company has all its business arrangements straightened out, and within a fortnight the Chapleau will enter the producing stage. * .- From the Similkameen. W. R, Boie,- formerly superintendent at Camp Mansfield, has returned from an interesting trip through the Similkameen country from Nicola to Princeton, He testifies to the remarkable copper properties located in tho district and expresses the opinion that a couple of years will see the Similkameen properly opened up and the transportation facilities necessary to its growth provided. Tlie copper is found in immense bodies and some of the largest deposits' are said to run as high as 24 per cent, while properties, averaging 12~ to 15 per cent are not by any means uncommon^ In places the wash is full of native copper and great lumps of the virgin metal can be seen in the rock. At one property Mr. Boie saw 30 sacks of native copper which had been dug out of the wash with a pick. This native ccjpper is said to rim 80 percent pure.- -At Nicola eight cabins were erected this fall by men who purpose remaining on the ground to work their claims, and at Aspen Leaf, a new settlement round which some of the richest ore is found, a number of properties will be working through the winter. At the Venus. Development work is being prosecuted steadily at the Venus mine. The winze from No. 3 tunnel was sunk 103 feet and a tunnel is being driven from the surface to tap the vein at the foot of the winze. The shaft was _in good ore all the way down and^tKe-tunnel- -projected is expected to tap the richest chute yet discovered on the property. It is intimated that the company will do nothing this winter in the direction of installing a stamp mill. . '��� '��� In the Hands of the Sheriff. The Heather Bell Mining & Milling Company, operating in the Slocan, is in trouble. The sheriff has seized their property, including the Heather Bell, North Star and Atlanta mineral' claims, located a mile and a half from Three Forks, to satisfy a judgment in favor of Angus McDonald, a miner, for $308. The claims will be offered for sale on the 28th instant. The Victoria No. 0 claim, situated a quarter of a mile from Sandon, has also been seized to satisfy a" judgment for $159 wages in the matter of G. D, McMartin vs. A. D. Williams. Will Complete the Tunnel. Jean B. Richard, the Belgian engineer who came out from London, England, on the 13th inst., is in Camp Mansfield. When work was suspended there a tunnel to tap the ���Toker vein was under way and constructed to within ten feet of the ledge. A small crew of men* has been put on to complete this work, after, which it is presumed Mr. Richard will make his report on the properties. More Development. In reviewing the advances in the mining industry for the" year on Monday The Tribune did not refer to the.operations of the Manchester Syndicate or the Canadian ..Gold Fields, both of which corporations have bonded properties in the district of which Nelson is the distributing center and are now working their new properties. The former has taken over the Silverton Boy near Silverton, -the Alice at Creston and the Elgin group- on Procter creek. .All are now working under the director of T. G. Procter, who represents ' the syndicate in Canada. The Silverton Boy is a silver-lead proposition adjoining the Emily Edith property on which an important strike was made recently. It shows up splendidly for the amount of' work done and promises to become a mine. The Alice is one of the few properties working in the immediate vicinity of Creston and is rich- in lead values. Further details of the progress of development will be to hand shortly. The Elgin group is near the head of Procter creek, which empties, into the lake atvthe new town'of Procter.- _ Only-'a' small crew can be utilized at the present time owing to the difficulty encountered in getting up supplies during the winter, and the syndicate is to be congratulated on keeping up work even on a small scale. The progress of operations in this section will be watched with keen interest, as the district is practically virgin, and success means the addition of a new camp to the list of Kootenay mining centers. This fall the Canadian Gold Fields took over the Commonwealth group on - Hooker creek which empties into the lake in the Crawford Bay district. The reports from the properties are most encouraging, and from- appearances -it- looks- as though' the company's good fortune, first manifested in connection with the St. Eugene mine at Moyie, was following them in their later ventures. The same corporation lias the True Blue group on the south fork of Kaslo creek and the Sunset group in the Slocan camp under bond. Another deal which went through quite recently was the purchase of the Mastadon property oh Lost creek by the International Gold Mining & Development Company of Stansted, Quebec, the company being formed for the express purpose of acquiring the claims. It isunder- stood they will commence work on a good scale in the spring and the advent of capital on Lost creek will do much to secure for that section the attention it merits.

Kingston, Jamaica, November 20.���It has been ascertained that a fortnight ago the Colombia government was negotiating with the Pacific Navigation Company for the purchase of one of its coasting vessels for war purposes. In consequence of tho rebels' activity and the advance of the rebel forces on Panama that city was placed under martial law November 10th. The steamer Taboga is .believed to have been sent November 13th to bring in reinforcements from the coast. But it is not known positively here whether the Taboga was seized by the Colombian government. Letters from Colon say, several people, including foreigners, have been lodged in the prison at Panama on suspicion of helping the rebels. THE KAISER 18 CRITICIZED By Hen* Richter. ���* Berlin**, November 20.���The debate on'the government's policy in China was criticised in the reich- stag today. Herr Bassermann,- National Liberal, endorsed the policy and expressed the gratification of his party at the* Anglo-German agreement. Herr Richter declared that the Radicals were of the opinion since the assassination of baron von Ketteler that a military demonstration in China was absolutely necessary, but that,the dispatch of an ironclad division was superfluous. He alluded to the public declarations of emperor William and said they were obviously intended to influence public opinion. Herr Richter added that he thought the emperor shouldfirst have had an* understanding with competent ministers regsirding the tenor and, wording of these declarations, asserting that much that was objectionable and displeasing would thus have been .-obviated. .^Polities and religion, he continued, ought not to have been mixed up as they had been in the emperor's speeches, because the effect was to spoil both. "The greatest mistake of our China policy," concluded herr Richter, "was after the Chino-Jap- anese ��� war when we joined with Russia and France in opposing Japan." Herr Richter's advice to the emperor to consult his ministers elicited marks of approval. Grounding of the Indiana. -Washington, November 20.��� Quartermaster-general Ludington received a cable dispatch today from colonel Miller, chief quartermaster at Manila, confirming the press report of the grounding of the transport Indiana on the east side of Isla de Polio, one of the smaller islands of the Philippine group, east of Luzon. Colonel Mil- -ler'sdispatch-is-as-follows: "Indiana, aground November 7th; is reported as not damaged. Charles D. Palmer, quartermaster, with the transport Pennsylvania and a lighter -draft vessel left Manila Monday in order to relieve. Nothing more necessary." When the Indiana ran aground she was loaded with supplies and a company of the 22nd infantry destined to act as a garrison at Baler. Bank Robbers Foiled. Ashley, Ohio, November 20,��� Eight men made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Bank of Ashley early today.

HOW THEY WILL PUNISH OFFENDERS The Chinese Imperial Edict Dealing With the Leaders In the Late Uprising. TAKEN A FAVORABLE TURN - The Czar's Illness. St. Petersburg, November 20.��� A" medical practitioner of- high standing in this city, who' is not connected, with the state service, after an analysis of the bulletins from Livadia told the correspondent of the Associated Press today that the illness of the czar had taken.^an unusually favorable course. "Apparently," he said, "there is more anxiety abroad than there is in Russia. " This may be due largely to the statistics of typhoid mortality ��� in this country. Death at this time would be peculiarly bitter to emperor Nicholas, for he is again hoping for the,birth of a son within a few months. It is an open secret that the czarevitch,- grand'duke Michael,'now about 22 years of age, is not a favorite of- the emperor, whose supreme desire is to "leave a son as heir to the] throne." ' WRITTEN BY LIBERALS. Tins TniBUNi; has placed a part of i>nt) colifimi-! nt the disposal of tho Liberals, whose views will be expressed therein from time to time during tho campaign, a like privilege is accorded the Labor party und the Conservatives. The Liberal committee rooms were crowded last night by supporters of W. A. Galliher, who were anxious to hear Frank Oliver, Jtf. P., fresh from his triumph in Alberta, and P. J. Deane of Kamloops. James Bannerman was in the chair and introduced Mr.-Deane, who gave a most encouraging account of the feeling in various parts of the constituency. Mr. Deane has recently been along the main line of the C. P. R. from Golden to Agassiz and has just completed a trip through the Slocan and therefore knows whereof he speaks. Mr. Oliver was the next speaker, and he delivered a most carefully reasoned and convincing address. Tostartwithhe-pointed���out-that- the electors had not to consider the question of electing Mr. Galliher, Mr. McKane or Mr. Foley. There was a larger iuterest at stake than that of mere personalities. West ern Canada had special needs, and the Liberal government had introduced a policy designed to coyer those needs. If the electors of this constituency approved of that policy they.., should vote for Mr. Galliher, the Liberal candidate. If they voted for one of his opponents and Mr. Galliher were not returned, they could blame the government if they accepted the verdict of the people and reversed or discontinued that policy. It was not a question of candidates or parties, but a question of endorsing or condemning the Liberal policy in so far as it concerned tho west, a policy*which had been one of justice for and development of the west. Referring to the reduction in the tariff, Mr. Oliver pointed out that last year the customs collections were $4,500,000 less than would have been the case under the Conservative tariff of 1896, a sum of money which was a direct saving to the Canadian people at large. The preferential tariff was said to only favor luxuries, but cotton goods had been reduced 7 per cent, which meant a saving of $280,000 on $4,000,000 of imports, and woolens 9 per cent, a saving of $075,000 on $7,500,000 of imports, or a total saving of $950,000 on two classess of goods used by all kinds of. people. Was not this a tariff policy which worked to our benefit? The Liberal policy was a tariff for PRINCE TUAN SAVES HIS NECK BUT IS BANISHED -������-:<-_ Washington, November 20.��� The Japanese legation has received from the foreign office at.Tokio the text of tho Chinese imperial edict dated the 13th instant on the pun- ishmentof the anti-foreign officials. It is to the following effect: Orders have been already issued for the punishment of the officials responsible for opening hostilities upon friendly powers and bringing the country into the present critical condition by neglecting to suppress and even by encouraging the Boxers. ' Biit a9 Pekin and its neighborhood have not been entirely cleared of the Boxers, the innocent people are suffering terribly through the devastation of their fields and the destruction of their' houses, a state of affairs which cannot fail - to fill one with bitterest feelings against these officials. And if,they are not punished how can the anger of the .people be appeased and the indignation of the foreign powers allayed. Accordingly prince Tuan is hereby deprived of his title and rank: and shall, together with prince Chwang, who has already been de- ��� prived of his title, be delivered to the clan court to be kept in prison until the restoration of peace, when, they shall be banished to Sheng Leug to be imprisoned for life.; Princes Yi and Tsi Yung, who have! both been already deprived of their; titles, are now also to' be delivered; to the clan court for imprisonment,! while prince Tsai Lien, also already? deprived of .title and rank,- is\to.be} kept confined in his own 'house. '- Duke Tsai Lie Lan shall, forfeit'his- ,.ft,jSI '_'S%, <��� >.~L : r'it *'^P m ���SJI ���<m M revenue not'protection*, but - maun-.' factured lead products were entitled; to be raised to a parity with other, imports, and thus entitled to the incidental protection of such a tariff. The speaker believed in the government ownership of railways, but was that a reason to block all" rail-.' road enterprise until Canada at large accepted those views.' The Conservatives aided railroads unconditionally, but tho Liberals imposed conditions. The control of rates inserted by Mr. Blair in the Railways Subsidy Act had excited the enmity of the C. P. R., who had done their best to drive Mr, Blair out of public* life, but the people'of St. John had defeated tlie Hon. George B. Foster aud the C. P. R, by a majority of 1037. The control of the rates was even more im- poWalTt"tban���th"e���bwnerahip"of"the" road, and the reservation of running rates was also most important, as it insured competition, and he instanced the new daily service to Spokane by the Nelson & Bed- lington road over a portion of the Crow's Nest railway. The payments made were as much for these conditions as the construction of the roads, and the government was now in the position to prevent any industry, district or town being strangled by the railroad. The Intercolonial railroad cost Canada $51,500,000, and until 1897 had been run at a loss as a feeder of the C. P. R. and Grand Trunk railways. By its extension to Montreal it had been elevated to the position of a competitive and paying road, notwithstanding the bluff of Mr. Shaughnessy to take his terminus away from St. John. if the electors approved of these measures and this policy, it was their duty to show it in the only way in their power, namely, by voting for the government candidate, W. A. Galliher. Any other selection must be infallibly accepted as a condemnation of this and the other policies of the government. Will Not Start a' Paper. London, November 20.���hi spite of a contradiction contained in the Associated Press dispatches of November 17th of the report that Alfred Harms worth, proprietor of the London Daily Mail and other papers, was about to visit the United States with the intention of establishing a Daily Mail in New York, Mr. Harms worth has been ducal salary, but may be transferred with the degradation of one'" rank.

Ii*;-the'Nelson Miner would confine itself-to criticism of the acts of Mr. Houston as a public-man; very little fault could be found with it. But the Miner has gone -further���it has discussed-tho private affairs of an individual, with which the public had no concern. In doing so,-more- over, it has resorted to villiflcation, ancTwhen desirous of -gaining un- usnal favor with-the eneinies-ofJVIr. Houston, it has descended -to base inuendo and cowardly ��� -negative assertion. Ever ready to stab, it is of raid to strike the blow. In this way it deals with -Mr. Houston's private affairs, always eluding the point where it will render -itself aetionable.-Eresumiug.THR Tribune resorted to similar methods in dealing with the-affairs of the editor of the Miner, would not that gentleman feel aggrieved ? Certainly the public -would resent such use being made of the columns of a paper which should confine itself to legitimate criticism and news. ���Frank Oliver of Edmonton, Alberta,-who has been re-elected to the house of commons .by a majority that is now reported at 1150, and-which-is likely to be increased by the returns from-the back-townships, was in Nelson yesterday. Although he is a strong Grit, he called at The Tribune office, and. during an hour's stay he had the hottest time he has had since he entered jpolitics in trying to convince the editor of,this -paper that, the people of this section were not ��� reasonable in asking that --the present duties on lead and lead products should be raised to a parity with the duties imposed by the United States on like products. Mr. Oliver had been at Sandon, and someone there had told him that the lead ores of the Sloean couldbe smelted as cheaply as the copper ores of Rossland, and that the mino owners of the Slocan who shipped their ore to the smelters at Trail and Nelson were being robbed, in being required to pay a freight and treatment charge of ,$21 por ton, which is the samo rate paid.for treating tho same oro when shipped to smelters at Omaha, Nebraska, or Pueblo, Colorado. And Mr. Oliver believed what he had been told at Sandon, and the editor of this paper could not convince him that he had been "stuffed." He was told that tho freight and treatment charge was based on the Helling prion of lead in New York, and that the cost of hauling a ton of lead ore from a mine in the Slocan via the Trail smelter to New Yoi*k was ,j nst the same as hauling a ton of load ore from a mine in the Slocan via the Omaha smelter to-New Fork; that the cost of labor at Trail or Nelson was 2!> per C(*nt higher than afc either Omaha or Pueblo; that it was better for. Canada to have its ore smelted in Canada than' in the United States, oven if the cost -was a trifle higher. This question does not seem to be understood by members of parliament. When a western .member like Mr. Oliver does not understand why the'silver-lead ores of the Slocan cannot be smelted at as low a rate per ton as is charged for smelting the copper-gold ores of Rossland and Boundary, somebody must begin doing missionary work. The farmers of Mr. Oliver's district raise a surplus of food products. Thoy want a market. Naturally they look to the mining districts of Kootenay for that-market. The lead miners of Kootenay want a market for the output of their mines. Naturally, they say they should have the home market -without competing for it, and -the only way they can get it is by a tariff that will place them on .an even footing with the United States. There should -be-.- reciprocity- between the farmers of Alberta and the.miners of Kootenay, but that reciprocity cannot be obtained if the farmers of Alberta are made believe that the local smelters in Kootenay are robbing the lead mine owners of the Slocan. No such robbery is carried on; but the point is to convince members of parliament, like Mr, Oliver, of that fact. There are two questions that concern the people of Yale-Cariboo. One is the duty on lead and lead products; the other is adequate mail facilities. These, are questions that the member-for-.the district in -the house of commons :should.;be able to explain explicitly and forcibly. If a member is not posted on ���these questions, or is not particular ly-i nterested-in^them ,-what- can ,- or what will, he accomplish? What is-the use of sending to Ottawa a .member who is versed in tlie ancient .history or traditions of his party, and .totally unversed in practical questions, like freight, and treatment charges on lead ores or tho shortest and quickest route over which to dispatch mails ?

A like privllci-c 1h accorded the Labor party and the Liberals.) The Edmonton chinook which wo have been enjoying the past few days has not dimmed-the -ardor of the McKane committee. In thunder, lightning, hail, rain or snow they will be found every evening at the committee rooms and invite all supporters of the Conservative nominee to join them. The announcement that the long looked for $20,000 public building for this eity has got as far as "the plans nearly ready and tenders may .be called any .day" stage, is certainly very welcome news, and with some may occasion sympathetic outpourings in favor of the government. It smacks slightly, however, of the proverbial red herring, aqross^the.elector's trail, for ib is a bit odd tbat this political bonne bouche -should, be trotted out at this convenient hour of the day. We ,may .get -the government building, and when it conies it will be welcome���but it will have been a .-struggle to obtain, and just faney $20,000 in exchange for the -contri- ibutions of Yale-Cariboo to the federal till. Some time back the Liberal column enlarged on the $3000 appropriation for renovating the Duncan river, and the writer was evidently greatly tickled at being able to state that Mr. Mara was the first to obtain money for that purpose. As the Liberals have continued it yearly since thoy came in power they evidently thought Mr. Mara's judgment good. One would imagine, according to the writer, that the traffic results of this $12,000 investment were on the eve of equaling that of tho Soo; as a matter of fact, a pollywog called the steamship Marion has made a few trips into Howser lake at-flood time; it is even rumored that she was able to reach Call creek��� always of course "at flood time; at other times authentic information says that a -man can 'stand--anywhere- in the Upper Duncan and tli row a east. As to the twelve- mile stretch between Kootenay and Howser.lakes, there.are at present two lines of rails constructed, and with these no waterway freight ciiviying will be tolerated. The Liberal column conveniently forgot to enlighten the electors as to the rejection of tho Kettle River railroad bill last year, a proposition, of infinitely more importance to Nelson than the snag-pulling and sand bar leveling .scheme..on .the Duncan.

A few extracts from the report and evidence bf the royal commission on the Chinese' immigration of .1.8S4 nre given , below. Sixteen years later a similar commission has been appointed to perforin a like service, and it is to be hoped with a better method than was employed by its predecessor. " I?ew people had any faith in the commission of 188*1. ,In Victoria a pub- lie meeting was held on August 11th, to which the commissioners��� then in the city���were invited but declined to attend.' Tlie following sentencefrom resolutions passed at this meeting is expressive of the public feeling against the commission: "This meeting is of tho opinion that the appointment by- the Dominion government, at this stage of the question, of commissioners to enquire into the subject instead of legislating as requested, is uncalled for and superfluous and is equivalent to doubting the correctness _of the information supplied through our constitutional representatives." Sir-Matthew Begbic, chief justice of British Columbia: After all that I have said about Chinamen, I" can lay no more claim to consistency than anybody else in British Columbia. They are generally abused, and yet everybody emploj's them. 1 have asserted their good qualities; but I have never in twenty-six years had a Chinaman in my house, an expensive whim that nobody else has indulged in. E, V.-Bodwell: The wages paid forwhite labor is.about $2 per day on tlie average, and the cost of living 3?>); per cent greater than in Ontario. . . .- No,matter what price a white man will .do a job for ' a"Chinaman will "undertake/it' for, say 25 per cent less; but having driven the white laborer from the field competition ceases, and having ho competition they .are not slow to take advantage of their monopoly of labor privileges. John A..BraeIe'y, a Victoria worlc- ingman: Contractors employ Chinese, .not because their labor is cheaper than white labor, but because they give less trouble about pay, food, or lodgings than white men.. . James B. Kennedy (New West-, minster): Look at one of our sawmills employing other labor than Chinese. In the immediate neighborhood there springs up quite a village, with stores, schoolhouse, church and other places of public benefit; while a cannery with the same capital in vested,, and employing mostly Chinese, will only show ^one^large^barn-like^building^nfor^ their use. - Nanaimo Trades. Association : To be consistent, ** either the Chinese should be placed in possession of immense tracts of coal lands and be permitted to ;Compete with our capitalists, or that wo like those capitalists should be placed beyond all fear of competition with them. Rev. Philip Dwyer, A. M, Victoria: The term "agitation" is hardly the term which strictly applies to designate the feeling and action in this case, "Self defence" would explain the principle more accurately. Henry George, San Francisco : The essential thing about Chinese laborers is that they are cheap, and an injury, by reducing the rate of wages, and not lowering the price of the article they produce. No universal national feeling can arise or exist in any country which allows its labor to become degraded. ���Prom statement of: Knights of Labor, Nanaimo. ���Hon Huang Sic Chen: The Chinese are charged with the habit of opium smoking, and-'this habit is said to be demoralizing. If this charge is .true, who is to blame: The Chinese who use the vile drug, or the ^English who introduced it and forced the trade upon us in defiance of the .repeated protests of the Chinese government? Mr. Buuster, M.P.P.���The feeling of the masses of the people in Brit- is h Columbia is strongly against Chinese. I now refer to the people who manufacture and the people \v ho ace trying to build up the country, and the merchants and THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S,, Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. others*, aside from what I call the snob aristocracy. There are a few ���would-be aristocrats who like to put on frills, and they are fond of having Chinese servants. Sergeant Flewin: Their promises (Chinese) are filthy, and their urine is kept in barrels and tins, on tho premises, and which is used for fertilizing. They never take it away uutil the vessels are full, which aro than taken Off by Chinese gardeners. Municipal and provincial tax collector W. K. Bull said'that there was about 3000 Chinese in Victoria in 1884, but ;he was only able to collect taxes from 750, the rest evading payment. He holds the balance of power (the Chinaman) against Bridget, as he does against trades unions.���F. A. Bee, for the Six Companies, Chinese claimed that the Six Companies which are responsible for bringing Chinamen to this country charge nothing for transportation, but collect 2J per cent of all the earnings of Chinamen after they have arrived and during their stay in this country. As rebuttal of this the -Hon. John .Robson, provincial ^secretary, asserted on the authority of the principals.of railway companies employing Chinese that wages were paid not to the individual workers, but to.the-companies, who only turned over a portion of it to the Chinese laborers. Mr. Tuckfleld, of a local br.anch of the Knights of Labor, appeared before the royal commission, but the chairman" (Hon. J. A. Chapleau) declined to recognize the association as a legal body. Mr. Tuckfield handed to the commission resolutions of the laboring classes pointing a way the commission could get, atthe evil of the Chinese," but the chairman said they could not investigate anything, concerning the duties of the government or the commission. The commission,' however, condescended to hear Mr. Tuckfield (briefly) as a member ofva committee of the working classes. Mr. Booth, president of the.-spciety-, was afterwards examined, when Hon. Mr. Chapleau said he wouldn't have time to hear him, and suggested he should put his views in writing.and send them to Ottawa. Senator Cornwall: Q.���How do Chinese compare with whites in point of intelligence? A.���Well, that depends on what you call intelligence. If by that term you mean smartness in the way of roguery, I think they can hold their own with any class. Dr. Melnnes, M.P.P.: Q.���How long do they remain (Chinese) in the country ? A.���They generally remain from five to .ten years. Whenever they save from $500 to $1000. .- . . they can go back to China nnd buy half a dozen wives. Senator Macdonald: It costs a white man 50 cents a day to live in British Columbia. . . . white =labor=must=**--como"=do*^"r"iu��� pficeT They prefer to be idle (white men), unless they are starving, rather than take less than the sum of $2 a day. I have offered white men $1.50. a day and they have declined it, and consequently I have been forced to employ Chinamen at a low rate of wages ($1.25 a day.) Sell on Merit. FortSteele Prospector. There is a growing tendency on the part of the prospector to sell his claim on its merits rather than what he thinks it may be worth with development. A good surface showing does not necessarily mean a good mine; this is for the mine investor to find out. The stock manipulator will pay more for a prospect, or rather promise to pay more, than the man who is in legitimate mining, for the reason that in one case the development depends entirely on the sale of stock, and in the other for this purpose comes from the pocket of tho investor. At the present time, and for several previous years, mining the public has been the favorite method, but this idea is gradually giving way to. the commercial aspect of tliecase and it will be difficult hereafter to form companies on a ten-foot hole in the ground with the issue of meaningless prospectuses. Once on a legitimate basis, the mining industry will forge ahead and make British Columbia: the wonder of the world, and East Kootenay will come in for its share of the great prosperity that is coming. .

CITY LOCAL NEWS The report from the rink is that sufficient ice has been made to secure au excellent bottom and that the surface is now being prepared. Tlie bazaar at the opera house under the auspices of the ladies of the Catholic church was well attended yesterday and the sale of fancy goods was lively. The affair will be continued today. Duncan McLean and Miss Florence Ethel Gardner, both of Ainsworth, were married yesterday at the residence of T. C. Gray, Silica street. Rev. Robert Frew, pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church, officiated. The storm ou the lake and west arm is over, and the ^weather sages look for a rise in temperature shortly to be followed by a winter resembling that of '9S-*90. The storm was in some respects one of the worst in years. Robert Irving of Kaslo was < in the city yesterday. He is manager of tlie K. R.--& N. company's lines and was in the city on business with the G. P. R. The new time card between Nelson and Spokane and Kaslo and Spokane has not been made0public as yet. The Nelson plumbers have not been as busy as might have been expected in view of the sudden cold wave whicli struck the city. While there have been a number of cases of frozen pipes the aggregate is not nearly as large as has been the case on ..previous? occasions. ,.'.'������ McVeigh Brothers have a gang of men at work building the approaches for the new bridge at Robson. When these are completed a track will be put down so that contractor Gunn can lay down material for the piers and abutments on the edge of the river. The reception to young men at the new Congregational church tonight is open to all and promises to be successful. On Sunday the Con- gregationalists worship in their new church for the first time, and on December 23rd the dedication services will be held, when Rev. Dr. George of Montreal will be present. The contract for the plumbing at the cottage addition to the general hospital has been let to TIebden Brothers while William Lawr's tender for plastering has been accepted. The cold snap has interfered with the work on the cottage, but building-operations are to be recommenced when the weather relents.' The local hockey enthusiasts are beginning to bestir themselves and discuss the prospects for the season 'which might have been started already had the cold snap been anticipated. It does not seem likely that Nelson will have two distinct hockey clubs this winter as the general opinion seems to favor a combination of forces with two sevens under one management. Professor Robertson of the agricultural department at Ottawa will pay his brother, Robert Robertson, of Nelson a visit this week. . When here:he will deliver a lecture on "Technical Education," in the school room of the Presbyterian church. There will be no admission fee charged, as the lecture is under the auspices of the Women's Council. A number of interior changes have been made recently at the fire "hltllr==ATiTO"-Jg'tlresl-ris=the=fi sitting room whicli has been connected with the office by an arch- . way. In front of the chemical wagon the floor has been lowered to make a graduated descent to the door instead of having the wagon begin the descent to the street from the door. Marsh Adams of Kaslo, who died at the Sisters' Hospital in Spokane this week, was a native of Ohio, and came to British' Columbia from Sedalia, Missouri, where his relatives reside. He was chief of police of Kaslo for several years, and was a popular official, being true to his friends. Marsh, may you have a9 much pleasure in the next world as yon had in this. Provincial constable Young has one interesting curio which he picked up last summer below the water line in the lake at Howser. It is an ancient Indian corn grinder, the smooth surface of which is eroded by water in such a manner as to indicate that the article must have been immersed for Centuries. There is nothing to indicate that the Houser district was ever populated by Indians and the discovery of the grinder is of unusual interest for that reason. OPPOSITE P08TOFFICB.

ARE MAKING A STRONG FIGHT Against Pdying Damages. The C. P. R. is vigorously contesting every inch'of ground in the action of Fawcett vs. C. P. R., tho suit brought by the parents of tho late conductor Alfred P. Fawcett, who received injuries at Robson which resulted in his death in October, 1S99. The case has been progressing slowly but steadily and is now in shape to go before, the next sittings of-the supremo court in Nelson. The latest development arises out of the'application made by R. S. Lennie on Monday for an order instructing R. Marpole, general superintendent, to make discovery of documents iii-his possession relating to tlie matter at issue. A similar order had .��� been granted previously, but in the affidavit filed by Mr; Marpole in reply thereto one of the items .described was "a certain bundle of papers numbered from 1 to 10." The solicitors for plaintiff did not..-regard this as sufficiently explicit for the purposes of action and secured the order for discovery in order that the documents might be' 'enumerated. Yesterday R. S. Lennie was served with a notice that the,, granting of the order would be appealed and that the appeal would be-argued at Victoria on the 28tli instant. The C. P. R. claims that the documents are privileged,, having been prepared for the information of the company's solicitor in anticipation of possible litigation. PERSONAL. .?���" D. F.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-11-21 |
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. |
