NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1899. WEEKLY EDITION: SEVENTH YEAR-NO 10 * SHORT AND SWEET SESSION or the Olty Council. Last evening's session of the city eonn- cil was ii short one. The members were anxious to get to the lust political meeting of the campaign, and consequently matters which were not urgent were allowed to go over. ________ ' Reports. The report of the finance committee, recommending the payment of a number of accounts, whs adopted. The report of the medical health officer respecting the sanitary condition of the city was laid over for another week. They Don't Want the Water. A communication was read from Messrs Taylor & Hanningtou, on behalf of the owners of the Elba mineral claim near the Summit. They stated that they would take proceedings to restrain the city from carrying water over their mineral claim in'any wav other than in a properly constructed flume. Alderman Fletcher said that the allegations made iu the communication were totally false, that there could be no damage done since there was a natural channel over the land. The communication was filed. Those Fire Insurance Rates. A communication was read from A. W. Ross, secretaty-treasurer of the fire underwriters, touching upon the proposed reduction in the local rates for fire insurance. He stated that a special meeting of the Fire Underwriters'Association will be convened within two weeks when the question of the proposed reduction will receive due consideration. A somewhat similar communication was received from G. W. Hob.orr. They were both received and filed. The Burial of Paupers. The city clerk introduced the question of the burial of paupers. He said that two men had died in the Crickmay hospital, who had been in the city but a few days. The men were from the Silver King , mine, and had ruerely=corXe_to Nelson for- treatment.. They had died "in theTcity without means, and the corporation was therefore obliged to bury their bodies.- The clerk said he had spoken to the gov- - eminent agent upon'thematter, and that Mr. Turner had promised that in case of -pauper burials, where it was-afterwards found that there-was money belonging to - the deceased, that the official administrator would discharge the debts in connec- ' tion -with the burials first. - - Alderman Fletcher said that 'while it * was gratifying to know that -Nelson was - becoming known as a place at which good medical treatment could be secured, there was a danger that it would cost the city a'great deal for pauper burials. Alderman Hillyer said that the council should look into the cases of the last two paupers who had come from the Silver King. The company made a practice of collecting a hospital fee from all the men in their employ. If'a man paid a hospital fee regularly it should entitle him not only to medical treatment but to a decent 'burial for his body after death. Alderman Thomson agreed with the remarks of alderman Hillyer. He said that railway contractors had to bury their dead, and he thought that the same obligation .rested upon a company which had collected"afhospital fee froth a -man dur- _=ing_=his^lifei.=He=expi,essed=the=bpihion= that it was a bluff'oh the part of the Hall MineSi and the company should be given to understand that it had to���bury its own paupers. The matter was referred to the city "solicitor. The Electric Light Transfer. A communication from the city solicitor, touching upon the transfer of the electric light plant to the city, was read. It was aw follows: "In accordance with your instructions to me, I have examined- into the(legality of thetransfer from the Nelson Electric Light Company to the city of their real estate, plant and franchise and find as follows: That the resolution authorizing the sale was passed by the directors at a director's meeting. In my opinion they had no authority conferred on them to do so, and the resolution should have been passed at a general meeting of the shareholders called for the purpose, in accordance with the provisions of their act of incorporation. This can yet be done, and the matter satisfactorily arranged without causing much delay." Alderman Hillyer said it was evident that the majority of the members of the present council were desirous of picking holes in the work*accomplished by the former council. Toe electric light company's plant was purchased by the old council, and all the present council had to do was to see that the litigation between Dr. Arthur and the city over the same was stopped. Alderman Thomson said that it was merely a question of removing what might possibly be considered as a flaw in the title which the light company gave to the city. If the transfer from the light company to the city was not done regularly some shareholder of the light company might atta-ck the city and force the city to pay tribute in order to perfect its title. He said he for one wanted the electric light matter settled, and in speaking as he had he did not wish to cast any reflection whatever upon the old council. The probability was that neither the old council nor the light company wa�� aware of any irregularity in the transfer until attention was lately directed to the matter. The whole difficulty could be got over by calling a general meeting of the shareholders of the light company and passing a resolution to ratify the sale. A resolution was moved by alderman Hrllyer t<�� the effect that the city solicitor communicate with the president of the light company with a view to straightening out any irregularities in the transfer proceedings.0 This was agreed to, aldermen Fletcher and McKillop not voting. Sampler Company Wants a Bonus. A communication was received from G. M. McDowell, ou behalf of Jthe Slocan Ore Purchasing Company, in which the council was informed that the company was desirous of knowing what inducement the council wotrld ofler for the erection of a sampling works, the business of which would consist in the purchasing, sampling and forwarding of ores. < As the council did not know much about the Slocan Ore Purchasing Com pay, the communication was referred to the finance committee for report. Work on the Flume Stopped. Mayor Neelands informed the council that the members of the public works committee and himself had been.over the flume line; and that it was the opinion that work upon the flume should be stopped for the present until the frost leaves the ground. Another difficulty was that the lumber required was not ready, and by the time it was ready there would be plenty of water from other sources. ' Alderman Hillyer agreed wittt the mayor that it was impossible to goon with the flume at present, as there was no lumber. It would be necessary to shut down for six weeks in order that the lumber could be delivered upon the groundy butonce the lumber was delivered the flume could be finished in a short time. Alderman Thomson said it wotrld be the loth of March before all the lumber re- .quired would be delivered, if the present rate was kept up.. It would therefore be better to deliver the lumber on the ground from the mills and wait until the frost was out of the ground before completing the flume. By following this course' a better flume could be constructed and ,uo power would be lost as.owing to the past delays there would be plenty of water before the flume could be finished. " A resolution suspending the"c work was then moved by alderman Fletcher,second- ed by alderman Hillyer, and in the interval, the.lumber..will be. distributed, over; the grouud in accordance with the in- struetionsof the city engineer." - , Referred to Public Works Committee. -. The communication from D. C. McMorris asking the council to open up the alleyway in the rear of , his property-was referred to the public works committee. All Sorts of-Rumors Rife. ' [Moyie Loader, February lth-l The presence here this week of Leslie Hill, one of the owners of the Moyie mine, II. -Bell-Irving, the wealthy Fraser river salmon cahner, and A. F. Schneider, a New York mining expert, led the people to believe that a mining deal of considerable magnitude was on. All sorts of rumors were rife. Some had it that a deal was on for the purchase of the St. Eugene, while others were confident that a deal was being made whereby the St. Eugene, Moyie and Lake?Shore were all to be gob- bhsfi/up fey^^y^ndi^ejyiaJi^pxop.osed^tbi "Work all three uiineft from the tunnel of the Ealce Shbi-ej But the truth Of the niatter seems to be that there is a deal on for.one propertyWthd Moyie. Tlie Bell- Irvings have become interested in this property, having recently purchased the interest held by F. Ilouten, one of the original locators. The owners are now making a deal with an English syndicate, and for that purpose the property is being examined by��� Mr. Schneider, tlie company's expert, ifhere is hot yet? sufficient snow on the road between the St. Eugene mine! and town for hauling ore* consequently this work has been delayed to quite an extent. However, an attempt will be made to put snow on the bare portions on the road and use extra teams to make up for lost time; The owners of the Lake Shore mine are pushing development work on their property, and taking out plenty of ore for shipment besides. The tunnel is being driven iu farther, which will make room for the additional force of men which will soon be be put on. MANY LIVES SAVED. Sessional Indemnity Reduced. The most sensational feature in the estimates brought down in the Ontario legislature was in the figures furnished for members' fees. The members have always received $600 per session, but this year the estimates provide but $500 each for them. But this is not all;���' for the mileage rate is to be cut as well. The rate is 10 cents per mile, and usually amounts to $2000. Much objection has been raised to the payment of the mileage, on the ground that it was really a bonusi as every member receives a pass from the railways. This session not more than half that amount is in the estimates, which seems to mean the members will be cut down from 10 cents per mile to five cents. These two reductions will cause all kinds of trouble, because the members on neither side of the house are anxious to have their incomes reduced. Another question which is coming up is the position of the members of the service during last summer's session. From the speaker down these officials are paid by the session, and they demand their full amount. Remarkable Cures Made by a Famous Virginia Madstone. "I sold the other day the most curious estate I ever heard of," said William 1?. Lynn, a prominent citizen of Loudon county, Virginia, to a Washington Star reporter. "I have curried this estate around in my pocket for the best part of the year. So far as I know, there is but one other piece of property at all like it in the world. And what is still stranger, perhaps, while I had a bona fide offer from a New.York millionaire to manage this estate for a period of years in. suclv/'a way as to yield the heirs a handsome income, which would have capitalized the property at about $40,000, oneof the heirs bid it iu at public sale for $300. -This estate was the famous Upperville madstone, which has been in the hands of the Fred family for over 150 years. A second bid. or what we call under Virginia law, a 10 per cent bid had been made and the stone will be auctioned again. But I think it will remain in the family. As its name indicates, the peculiar property of this stone is its apparent appetite for the virus to be found iu the wound made by the bite of a dog, a snake or any venomous animal. "The stone was brought to Virginia iu 1740 by Joshua Fred, who was a well-to-do farmer in Warwickshire, England, arid became an important landowner in Fauquier county. By his wish his descendants had clung to thisstoue as a priceless heirloom,'and I am proud to say that their use of it has always reflected credit upon the good, old-fashioned hospitality and kindliness characteristic of all good Virginians. It was well known all over the country that anybody might go. tp the Fred farm with any unfortunate -who had been bitten by a dog, and enjoy :a certain cure without cost. For ahundred years none of the Freds would permit any oue who was-cured <in this way by the madstone to pay a farthing, even i'or board, or lodging or horse feed. In later years the vicissitudes of peace and war having somewhat affected the fortunes of various members of the family, it became the practice to allow visitors who came to use the madstone to pay what they pleased for their treatment and, for'the care of their teams. Beyond this, however-, no charge whatever was made for scores of most remarkable cures. , - "A journal was kept by the various members of the family who had charge of. the madstone, in^ which-was entered-t-kcV hame and age of every person on wbom/it was used, and the character of the wound treated. The entries-in this'book, made in the' quaint handwriting, of member after member of tlie family, the most of whom have long since turned to dust in their graves, are nrost interesting. -. "While the stone was in my possession I had occasion several times to use it upon persons who were brought to me in great agony of'mind over wounds they had received from the bites of rabid dogs. The last case occurred just a few days before the sale of the stone. - A young boy was brought to my house late at night, who had been bitten on the wrist. The wound was an uely one, and the father, was in great distress of mind for fear hydrophobia would set in. I placed the stone on the boy's wrist at about 10 o'clock and went to bed. The father stayed up and took care of the boy. At 2 o'clock irr the morn- ��� ing. he said, the stone let go. The.boy was then sound asleep. The father- placed the stone, as I told him to do. in a giassjjf^milk,_on.jvhjch, when Lsaw-it-in "the morning, there was a thick green scum. This seemed to be the usual result in all such cases. Tlie stone was never known to let go ttntil it had extracted all the poison, and, on being placed in a glass of warm water or milk, discharged a greenish liquid, which physicians who saw the operation have tola me was undoubtedly poisonous matte:- caused by the bfte of the rnbjd animal. "The stone itself is perhaps an inch long by three-quarters wide, and is of a velvety, grayish brown Color-. Years ago it wM accidentally broken ifi two, and the jeweler who placed a gold band around it to hold it together' has told rt.e that the inside was a little darker than the outside, and was arranged in concentric layers. TRAILS IMPASSABLE. Twenty Feet of Snow Between the Coast and Atlin. A letter from Skagway says that that town was experiencing a temporary "boom" through the arrival of passengers for Atlin and Dawson. "Such a delivery of humanity so unexpectedly," to quote the words of the writer, "just simply raised prices to boom figures. Hotels doubled rates and drinks sold for 25 cents or five for a dollar-. The Americans here are furious over the alien bill aud threaten allkiuds of retaliation." Speaking of the evils of the present law, the writer says it would be a desirable change to abolish all agency privileges. Continuing, the letter reads: "Brownlee's party, 11 in number, has just left for Atlin. They go by train, which is 11 miles only from Skagway. From parties who are returning every hour, we learn that the track and trail between the end of the track to Ben- net are completely blocked with railway supplies, miners' outfits and general merchandise and snpplies for Dawson and Atlin, the snow being reported to be 20 feet in depth this eutire distance. Only dog trains and snowshoes can be used to get through. There is no trail from Log Cabin to Atlin except by what is known as the Fan Tail, and owing to the great depth of snow and thin ice over Lake Atlin no horses or heavy freight can possibly be moved. I think Brownlee will do well if he reaches Atlin City by the middle of March. "There are a, great many people, too, between Atlin and Dawson. A great many are leaving Skagway to avoid the extortionate charge for living. ''- A man who made his way out from Atlin City told me that everything was at a standstill at Atlin, a couple of hu'udre'd fellows sitting around in huts trying to sell imaginary claims at from $5 to $500.", In a second letter the same writer says "he had just spent an hour talking with Messrs. Carman and Lilley ot Vancouver, who had just arrived from Teslin lake, where they left oh January 4th, coming straight through thectAtlin district. They wereln the employed!" the Dewdney outfit all summer between Glenora and Teslin, and, having heard "of a pass through the mountains hear the head of Teslin lake, concluded to come to Skagway. They found, a camp of men at Sucker lake, a tributary of which runs in- .to��� Surprise lake ,..iu-the Atlin distric..- *Gold was there found and the discoverers -���were wintering there to commence work .early in the spring. "At the head of Surprise lake they also found a camp of six, men wintering. They came down Surprise to Pine and Atlin Cities and at different points found camps of men wintering, aud everything, even the mountain sides, staked^ and re-staked. Some parts of Pine creek had been staked ofT several times, and' in fact hardly a spot could be found that had not been staked. The police had given notice to discontinue all building in Atlin and Pine Creek towns. A person named Vaughan was at Atlin and has a number of men staking out claims for some big Vancouver company. He claimed to have staked 200 claims. Both shores of Atlin are staked for a mile or more back. Mr. Carman said he left William McCulloch, the well- known assayer of Nelson, at Atlin. The latter also went through from the Stikine and is coming out to Skagway." petent to hand-sort ore gives, in the great majority of instances, any attention to this portion of the work? Aw a rule the miner is allowed to have his own sweet will in this labor, and his owrt sweet will is too often to do that which is easiest instead of that which is best. This is but one kind of waste, and the commonest one, of bad management, where scores might be mentioned. It is not all mines that require the constant services of an assayer, but a good many more than receive them do require them, and would find them the most valuable of all possible investments. KASLO NEWS NOTES. Were Never Knpwn to Get Anything: Correct. The following is a fair sample of the "rot" that appeared in the Coast papers regarding the election that took place today. It is from the Vancouver World of the 10th: - A STRAXGK AFFAItJ, A correspondent, writing from Nelson, states that there is something exceedingly peculiar concerning the conduct of the returning officer, John A. Turner, iu connection with the polling sub-divisions of the Nelson riding in the pending by- election contest. At the last general election there was a polling subdivision at Kuskanook, in the vicinity of which there are from 30 to GO voters; but for some reason, which demands explanation, and which many believe to be an exceedingly hazy action on the part of those who have the fixing of the polling subdivisions in hand, this polling subdivision has been obliterated, and the electors in the neighborhood of Kuskanook will be put to great expense in going to Nelson and recording their votes, It is to be hoped that Mr. Turner will be able to give a satisfactory explanation of his conduct in this respect. Ashe was agent for Mr. Hume at the election held in July last, there will be those who will'not be slow in asserting that he is displaying extreme-partisan conduct in connection with the fixing of the polling subdivision.. H CAUSE OF FAILURE. Want of (good Management Ruins Many a Mine. The question is often aSked: "What is the most corririjon cause of failure in mining ?" The majority of answers probably are: "Want of a good miue on which to Work," says the Mining aud Scientific Press of San Francisco. But one who is a close observer and has obr served the methods of mine management in���'���many regions might question whether a better answer might not be: "Want of good mine management." So many instances are remembered where failures cart be attributed' to this cause alone that the answer is at least worthy of consideration. Bad management takes such a .multitude of-.ha.ue_ that it is almost impossible to describe it, unless it is described in the general term "ignorance of mining." Its constant form is seen in the wasting of ore. A general proof of the facts is found in the hundreds of ore dumps which have been hand sorted over and over at a profit, and there are .hundreds yet untouched that will pay handsome returns. There is au old saying that a workman can be none by his chips, and with equal truth it can be said a bad mine manager can be known by his dumps. One thing that is indispensible to a mine manager is an appreciation of the necessity of thoroughly understanding the nature and value of his ore. He may not be able to understand the ore himself, but if he appreciates its importance he can employ someone who does understand it to take charge of the necessary work.; The world sees the evidence of waste in the dumps that lie on the surface, but there is a still greater source of waste that is hidden from the public in the dark stopes of the mine. Every practical man knows how often the ore is knocked down iu the stopes and there partially sorted, and the supposed waste left upon the stulls. If ore sorted in the daylight loses much of its value iu the waste, what is the loss liable to be in the dark, narrow and cramped stopes ?y Who that is com- Kaslo, Feb. 13.���E. J. Coyle, district passenger agent of the C. P. B., spent Sunday in Kaslo in company with Mr. Anderson of the Crow's Nest Pass road. A. T.

The re-location of the Iron Hand is recorded by A. P. Beaudy. The claim is located on the north side of Kaslo creek and on the east side Of the mouth of Lyle creek.

TUESDAY .FEBRUARY 14, 1899 The Review of Sandon wishes it hadn't used its mighty influence, in July last, to oust from power its Conservative friends. We imagine the appearance in the Pay- streak of an atlvertisment signed by John Keen, assessor and collector of the province, has had something to do with the Review's change of heart. The amendments to the Elections Act are all in the right direction. Soldiers and sailors who happen to be on station in British Columbia during election should not be entitled to vote. They have no interests in the country. But the wisest amendment is the one depriving officeholders of the right to vote. No officeholder should be permitted to have any voice in selecting his masters. One of the results of the election today will be the removal from office of several notorious politicians from soft berths in the court house at Nelson. They will be given a chance to be politicians, but not at the expense of the people. J. Roderick Robertson and, W. A. Macdonald should be "proud -of the four men they, "boosted" intotlie^city council. Last year, at this time, Nelson-=twas being improved. '.Was it because'Nelson then had a city council made up of pro- gressive���business mem?', "��� ,-:.!

[Glasgow Mail, January 21st.] y ''���- .William Johnson, alias "Harry the 'Valet,'-'-&_., aged JG, who stole the dowager duchess "of Sutherland's jewels from a. ;railway carriage in Paris, was on Wed- ' nesday brought up at the London V'kessipn., .Clerk.etwe'll, for sentence. The *"|$6lSn.jewels "Were v'alued a.

At the just hearing it was explained by the prosecuting .oiuisel that .hoprisOncjr*. complicity was dj.qqvjEjred ":in this way?

He was absolutely penniless and of no occupation. She wail woman of means, and she supported him and'supplied'.him with money. However, at about the date of the robbery she had separated from JohnsOn in consequence Of their numerous quarrels. She received a letter saying that he now had all she 'required, and asked her to see him. She made no reply, but he saw her in a cab iii Paris, and following her home showed her a large quantity of valuable jewelery, and told her that she had stolen it, and to whom it belonged.. Fascinated with the jewels, the woman allowed the roan to come back to her. Some adorned her neck while she slept that, night, but the next morning it was handed over to Johnson, and the prisoner corroborated this statement with the remark, "Yes, and I had a very hard job to get it back." There could be no doubt that he had at that time all the stolen property in his possession, and was acting on his own behalf and not with others, who might have shared in the plunder;.'While sitting in the room with the woman with the jewelery iu his pocket a French police officer came in. looked around, gaped, and went away. About October 22nd Johnson and .the woman came back to England, though not together, and the. prisoner beamed to have known exactly what to do with this class of property, which any. ordinary person would find exceedingly ninit-ult to get ndoi, tor the jewels were of extraoidinary worth. He went to a Mr. Levy, who describes himself, said counsel, as a general dealer, living in Hackney. Levy had known the prisoner for about five months on and off by the name of Jackson, and he came to him at Duke's place, Hound-ditch, which Mr. Levy said was a Sunday morning market for diamouds. Counsel supposed they were spread out like costers' wares. (Laughter.) The prisoner asked Levy whether Ire could get eight diamonds, two brilliants, an emerald and a pearl made up into a pin, ring and a stud, and Levy, who did not know where the prisoner lived, accepted from him the valuable stones without giving him any receipt or telling where he (Levy) lived. Levy took the stones to a working jeweler named Headland, and when they had beeu made up as desired Levy returned the articles to the prisoner at the Sunday market. On October 24 the prisoner received from a Mr. Hinton, who keeps the Brown Bear,Worshipstreet(alsostrangely enough, remarked Mr. Muir, in business in Hattou Garden as a glass letter maker, he-says), a cheque for ��500, which was cashed into bank-notes traced to the prisoner. Mr. Hinton was a witness. He explained that Johnson���-known to him as Jones���had frequented his house as a customer. Jones was fond of two things��� whiskey and champagne, and when he was not drinking whiskey he drank champagne by.the bottle. His name being Jones, continued counsel, and his drinking champagne, Mr. Hinton supposed he was an eminently respectable person, so, when Jones announced that ire had ��500 in gold in his pockets���alleged part proceeds of some of the jewels���and would like to change it into notes, Mr. Hinton said, "Oh certainly.-' and went into the parlor, and the ��500 iu gold was counted out, and the publican parted with a cheque in exchange, knowing nothing about diamonds, emeralds, or rubies, although he was in business in Hatton Garden. Mr. Faulkner, a jeweller at Upper St. Martin's Lane was another gentleman connected with the case. The prisoner had been a customer of his for seme five years, and he. only" knew him as "Harry"���the name by which he was well known to the police was "Harry the Valet." Mr. Faulkner was asked to make up ".some', earrings, a pin and a stud, with stories supplied by Johnson, consisting of brilliants and pearls. These articles, too, were made by Mr. Headland. The woman who had lived with Johnson returned to Brighton and was.joined there by Johnson, with whom she'deelined any. further connection, telling him that he was a thief. She had been to Scotland Yard before that, and made a statement, and she told Johnson, who struck her. He. finally came to a house, No. 5 Cathear. Road,. South Kensington, where detective-inspectors Dew, . Dennie, Froest of Scotland-Yard, arrested, him, and . found .in his"' possession about ��800 worth out of ihe ��25,000 jewels stolen. It was perfectly obvious that Johnson was a skilled thief who did not waste his/time on sinall game. 'In-1891 JohnsOn^ was dealt with at Bow Street tor-stealing a cOa't-'in , the" Hoi born restaurant, the property of a. diamond mercharit, whose' pOcketbook, contained a ��25 note. ;In fact, he seemed to be very fond of diamond merchants: ':��� On April2, 189_. he got >ix months' -hard; labor for stealing, a 'lady's dressing, case from a railway carriage at Charing Cross station, and after beingiacquitted on another charge he went to Monte Carlo and made acquaintanceship with the iriside'of a ���-Fr=each;rpnson'|for;*,Mteen . cuonthsytor 8tealijngf-o^ ;Fbibi''''-he,'.DT^a|ti fiveT-yeSr^ tioiifjS'f the>polic"e,ibuti'.nothing�� had coiire q_tt.��> ���������" "���".;; * "������*���** ,../'"������"��� .

Ih fact, only three days were taken with the Second boiler, with the use; however, of 83 of thelbeavy cart-horses employed in Alps. The chief difference between the Simplon and its two great rivals, the St. Gotbard and the Mont Cenis, will be the double tunnel. Each is designed to be 17 ft. wide, 20 ft. high, and 55 ft. between the two, communicating by openings every" 015 ft;, and having a half-way underground station.

Last summer two prospectors, mamed *& William Barron'ahd Robert Parker, were prospecting in the Chearu mountains on the headwaters of Chilliwack river, when one of them (Parker) had an experience that he does not care to have repeated. His partner tells the story in the Columbian of New Westminster: It was not at Mount Baker that Robert Parker got hurt. As I am his partner, Ic can state you the whole truth of. the accident. It was the east end of the range of the Cheam mountains. The Chearir range lies on the northwest side of the head waters of Chilliwack river, where the accident happened, and I shall remember it till my dying day. We arrived on the 26th of July, at the foot of the mountain. On the following morning, we ascended the mountain. While walking over the snow in a deep •; canyon, Parkeri slipped, and slid about /fifty yards, before lie came to a hole, where he disappeared from my view. Then I scrambled to the place where he fell. It was a terrible sight to look at. I could not see him for some time," till 1 pushed; mywaybetween the rocks and the snow, which was forty feet high, and S>>;*hqlldw..-!uhderneath;j:Jike a„- cave, where I ^fdes-endeaiari^ 'lying ^ifiriX'dung^ as soon as-I \"|C_ould'H?$'fto^ *eet °£ him,' ;5 "■a"n3^ :l w"I:couldVn6t fre^janVcf6s;_r**to hiui.

On my return I found him having a lively time with mosquitoes and flies, which came near getting the best of him. We camped there for four days. Ou the following day we thought we would make a move. We did so. I packed blankets and grub and would go ahead, say one hundred yards, and then go back for Parker. The poor fellow could bear his weight on his sore leg, but could not lift it from the ground. I had to take his sore leg and lift it to make a step. But when we came to level ground it was not so bad. But the climbing overlying timber was a great trial to him. Sometimes I would be pulling him by the head, sometimes feet foremost, but mostly feet first; it seemed: the most handy, and any way to get there. Both of us were determined not to give in. It took us twenty days from the time that Parker got hurt till I got him to the doctor at Chilliwack. We were fifty miles from civilization, when we arrived at the first rancher's, at the foot of Chilliwack mountain. When we arrived there we Eut Parker in a spring wagon, and brought im to Dr. Henderson, who dressed his wounds without charge, and gave him a letter to the Royal Columbian Hospital. The doctor, besides, offered him funds towards his expenses down. Thanking him for his most gentlemanly offer. Parker is not the only one suffering from the trip. I, his partner, through the effects of heavy lifting and hardships, was obliged to go to the hospital. I stayed at Sumas Prairie for two months after Parker went to the hospital, still getting worse all the time. So we are both of us in the hospital together.

Title | The Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-02-14 |
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. |
