A day or so ago the engineering outfit used on the Bal- ToTiT==extension'=and=intetided==to= serve a crew of 22 men was shipped to the same point.] No announces ment has been made as to the C. P. R.'s object in putting this locatioa party into the country in the depth of winter, but it is believed that tlio management has decided to head off the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern" road for which the Mackenzie-Mann* people hold a charter. It is thought likely that the location party will run a line southeast from a point on the Mission Junction road through the Hope mountains to connect with the Boundary road. The Columbia Bridge. Despite the cold weather, which makes open air labor somewhat unpleasant, the work on the Columbia river bridge' at Robson is progressing satisfactorily. The Gunn outfit has got down to business in good style, and the east abutment is now eight feet high. Yesterday the piles for the east pier, were driven and the tops cut off to construct the caisson in which the foundation' will be built. The bottom of the' river proves to be fine gravel, re-' sembling hard pan, into which the' fSilgs'are driven from 12 to 15 feet.; McVeigh '& Poiipare are making good progress with their work on the approaches and will probably finish the contract in a week or 'two.

As the old- timers pack ' up their books and papers, preparatory to moving, a choice collection of stories relating to . the building is related. The story of how a couple of employees were "stuck up" at the point of a gun in the hands of a nervy highwayman and compelled to open the company's safe has been told and retold, together with the narration of the interesting incidents which transpired in the construction days when the rough and ready railroaders were migrating: to the Crow's Nest and C. & W. work.

The report bore tlie signatures of-all the mem- bers -of the committee, aldermen Wilson, Morrison andr%,McKilIop.

Aldermen Wilson and Morrison then moved that the city clerk be authorized to call for applications for chief of the'fire brigade," sue li applications to be in the hands of tlie cle��k not later than noon on February 4 th.. Thil-* was also carried. The only other matter outside of routine business to be discussed was the application for a franchise for the Electric Despatch and Messenger Company, Limited. To expedite the consideration of the subject a bylaw was presented for the approval of the council and the ratification of the ratepayers. The bylaw's principal features were regarding the erection of poles subject to the direction of the council, the poles tof be, thirty feet high above street"'grade,, neatly dressed and painted as directed by the city and the requirement that work should be started on the installation of" the servicce not later than two months after a date to be specified by the council and tg be completed,, within six months'of the date so specified. *In other particulars the city's interests were properly safe-guarded. The bylaw was given two readings ancL the council resolved to submit the measure to the ratepayers at the municipal election on the 17th instant, the company to bear all expense in connection with the submission. S. S. --Taylor*!1 Q. C, appeared on behalf of the applicants for the franchise. Bylaw No. 77, relating to the public morals, Avas finally reconsidered and passed, concluding the docket of business. The members in attendance were mayor Houston, aldermen Wilson, Morrison aud Arthur.

For the arrest and conviction of one the resolution provides a reward of $8000; for two, $15,000 will be .paid, and the whole amount .is offered for tlie three principals.- The council .also askod Mr, Cudahy to withdraw his offer of a reward of an equal amount for tho capture of the criminals. The object of the offer, is largely to relieve Mr. Cudahy arid his family of fear of reprisals from the bandits and to remove from the police and detec- tives,the restraint they have felt in trailing the bandits on account of the very trying ^position- in which Mr. Cudahy has-been placed..

On the* south side of the rink a lively game of curling, the first of the season, took place. The curlers were principal Soady, Alex Grant, J. F. Weir aud J. H.

Tlie players were enthusiast*?, and the, quality of the game indicated that their hands had not lost all the cunning gained the preceding season. Today the curlers will hold the floor again and some lively contestsjare anticipated. In thi'evening the hockey club ���met down town. The agreement made'by the committee with the tramway people regarding the use of the. ice was presented and approved, the members agreeing that the terms were reasonable.

Skating as usual will |*.e available after the game. The clrib will have practices, oii Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights each week and will arrange for a game each week. Whenever possible outside teams will be secured for the weekly game and failing in this local teams will be played, abundant material being available for two lively teams. Among the players who will go in for the game this year are Perrier, Thompson, Wetmore, Greenlee, Charlie Jeffs, Rutherford, Neelands and Bell of last year's clubs, Blackwood, who will get into the game again, and Murray and Neece, both of whom are new men. ��� The question of forming a league is still open, but the Nelson club will probably go in for a league if the other clubs interested manifest any special enthusiasm . in the matter. , Have Always Been Fairly Treated. For the information of the Nelsou Evening Miner it can be said with authority that the officials in the city hall are not paid to prepare data for use in its columns, no more than for "use in the columns of any other newspaper.

The Miner has always been fairly treated by the city clerk and* the city engineer, but the officials cannot well act as reporters for that paper and attendjto their official duties at the samo time.

NEW BANK OF COMMERCE OPENS FOR BUSINESS IN NELSON ON THURSDAY. Bank of British Columbia an Institution of the Past���Consolidation of Immense Interests. On Thursday forenoon at 10 o'clock the Canadian'Banlr of Commerce will begin doing business at the southwest corner of Baker and Stanley in this town. This announcement will be received with regret by men who have transacted business with the Bank of British Columbia' since it opened in Nelson, in the spring of 1S92, for the Canadian Bank of Com/uerce takes the placo of the Bank of Brit^h Columbia. The change will also be regretted by thousands of people throughout the,Pacific coast, who looked upon the Bank of British jColurabiiwas^one^oOhe^fiiianciaLiiu^ stitutions that gave this province arid the coast an individuality; an individuality much the same as the Bank of California has given San Francisco and California. The regret is that of men who have lost an old and tried friend, but it is tempered in its effect by the knowledge that the bank that replaces it is one^ of Canada's great financial enterprises that is ably and wisely conducted. **" The Bank of British Columbia had six branches on the Pacific Coast and four in the interior of< British Columbia, with its head office*-in London, England. The Canadian Bank of Commerce, with head office in Toronto, Ontario, has fifty-five branches in Canada, including those "at Dawson, White Horse and Atlin, and branches in the United State3 at New York, New Orleans, Skagway and Seattle. The whole of these ^sixty-nine branches and the office in London will henceforth be carried on by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the' general management being centered at Toronto. The capital of the Bank of British Columbia was ��000,000 ($2,920,000); *that o����fhe Canadian Bank\&.of Commerce, $6,0Q<),000. The capital of theebank after amalgamation is increased to $8,000,000, with a rest or surplus fund of $2,000,000. The resources of. the bank from capital, rest, deposits and circulation will exceed $55,000,000. ._t. The amalgamation will not affect in the slightest degree the relations of the bank and its officers with the customers and correspondents of the Bank of British Columbia, except by placing-* at their disposal, the services and support o��" a mucli. larger institution. All arrange-" ments"with customers will continue in force, and all outstanding obligations of, and drafts, cheques.and credits upon, the Bank of British Columbia, will be duly honored and YAN.OPVE.rS COBDIAL WELCOME _. r To the Twelve Returning Members of the South African Contingent Yesterday.

The mayor and aldermen received the returning soldiers as they detrained with brief welcome speeches. Then headed by two bands the men in khaki were escorted through the business streets, which were thronged with cheering thousands.

Spokane has a population of ' 40,000. Nelson has a population of 7000. Last year Spokane's revenue ��� from water rates, licences, police court fines, and all other sources except real estate taxes was $230,- ' 000. Last year Nelson's revenue from all sources except real estate .taxes was $60,000. Spokane collected $112,000 as water rates. Nelson collected $14,500 from the "same source, whicli goes to show that Nelson's water rates are not as high as those of Spo"kane. But it ��� is the comparison of indirect revenue received per capita that is worth looking iuto. Spokane re-. ��� r'eived .$5.75j***_r head of population. Nelson received $8.00.

Nelson should profit by the experience of its near neighbor. The electors of, Nelson.should see to it that tho mayor and aldermen are pledged to carry out the views of the majority of the electors. Men should not be elected to office merely to voice some fad or grievance. They should be electedl-on well-defined lines of public policy, and be held responsible for carrying out such policies to the letter. This is business, and tha't. is what the people want.

Alderman Wilson, chairman of the committee on fire, light and water, and his Colleagues, alderman Morrison and alderman McKillop, say the time has a&ived for the installation of a fire alarm system and the substitution^ of a paid fire department for the present volunteer fire brigade, and to bring this about at once the city clerk has been authorized to call fOr applications for chief of the reorganized department.

A DECISION OF IMPORTANCE ) y To Miners Generally. ��� ��� Two judges of tho supreme court of the province have decided to allow tho appeal of the defendant from the judgment in favor of the .plaintiffs in the suit of Auderson eb al vs. Godsol. The third judgo 8ittiug_0n the appeal dissented, but the majority prevails and the defendant succeeds up'to'the''present time. Tlie award is of the greatest importance to miners generally as it will havo the effecb of destroying the usefulness of the mechanics' lien as applied to mining properties in the large proportion of instances. The action of Anderson et al vs. Godsol arose over work performed on the Little Phil mine in the Ainsworth camp. The property was bonded by the owner, Fred W. Godsol of Pincher Creek, and a large owner in the Nettie L. mine in the Lardo country, to T. W. Coleman of Trail, who put a crew "of men afc work.. The men were 'not paid and brought suit, seeking to make the property liable, which would-involve the title of Godsol, the owner, although not the employer of the miners. Godsol ...contended^ vthat the word '.'owner" in the Mechanics' Lien Act meant any person having any interest whatever in the-jland, and consequently did not extend beyond the interest of any person who had directly or indirectly hired the men. This contentio^'-iaving been upheld, the effect is, briefly, that hereafter any person giving a bond, lease or option runs no risk of having liens against his property by men who have done work for the bondholder, lessee or holder of the option. In March last his honor judge Forin gave a verdict for the men, and' the decision .was appealed to the supreme court of British Col-'. nmbia. "When the case was first argued the judges Avere divided, two. holding for each side. The case was ordered to be reargued and on this occasion the majority was secured for the .appellant, Mr. justice Walkem being in Rossland when tho case came up for a final lien ring. Originally P. E. Wilson and W. A. Macdonald appeared for tho plaintiffs and G. A. Whealler of Knslo for the defence. In the argument at the coast Duff. Q. C, appeared for tho plaintiffs and Davis. Q. C, for tho defence. Tn Andersen vs. Godsol fie interests of eleven plaintiffs Avere consolidated and there are nineteen other cases which are waiting on tho outcome of the initial action. Should an appeal taken t > tl e supreme court of Canada fail to alter the situation ib will be necessary for the legislature to ameud section seven of tho Mineral Act to extend to miners the protection intended. Following are the judgments of the two judges who ruled for the appeal : Chief justice McColl says: The defendant, a mine owner, gave to one Coleman an option to buy it for $25,000. lie was to be at liberty to work it and if he did so the net proceeds were to be applied in or towards payment of the price. Ho agreed if he worked it to keep at least teu men constantly employed. No other .provision avus made for the working of the mine. The .plaintiffs are laborers and claim lions for work' done in the mine while employed by 'Coleman in A\rorking it under the agreement. He-did not exercise his option.* Tt is not clear upon the notes of the evidence whether the Avork was stoping or Avas development work" bub assuming that it was of such a kind as to have been Avithin the act, yefc in my judgment none of the claimants is entitled to the lieu- claimed. It is admitted that-none of them worked at tlie express request of the owner, and that no request by him can be implied in the' circumstances. Section 1, there: fore, .does nptTapply.'_ Bnt.it is contended that the'claimantsare with'-, in section 7. To entitle th_m to succeed" under this section it is necessary to construe the words '���'at tho instance" to mean- "at the request" and to apply "them to tho persons doing the work instead of to the work itself. And even this is insufficient without extending the'words of the section to the. case of work actually done at the instance of the owner and so Aviping out the provision in section _. But this would be to make the benefit of a so called lien wholly illusory, for the owner in order to j-*s^pe_jdtogethj-*r from the act woulcToiily-have lTatl^to^ivo^ther notice provided for. Section 7 does not in terms apply, to, nor in my opinion was it intended to include.work done at the instance of the owner already pro--' . vided for by section .4. I know of no 'principle by which an enactment that a certain thing is to be held or deemed to be the act of a person, only let to bo construed to apply to tho person Avhose act it in fact is, nor is it easy to understand why a lien claimant not haying worked at the request of a supposed owner should bo in a better position than if the work had been done at the instance of the,owner himself. It seems to me plain that section 7 not only applies where the owner has not authorized the construction of the building or other improvement, but was intended to provide for the case of work done under an agreement with a supposed owner aud to place persons engaged in such work in the like position as regards a lien as if such person was the actual owner whenever the latter, knowing that an improvement was being made upon his land not under any agreement with himself, but at the instance of some person assuming to act as owner, stands by saying nothing. I have not thought ifc necessary to discuss the case of Cook who admittedly cannot recover. Mr. justice Drake rules for the appeal in these terms : The defendant is the owner of a mining claim known as the Little Phil mineral claim. On the 1st of June, 1809, he entered into an agreement Avith Thomas W. Coleman to sell the claim on certain conditions. Coleman had leave to enter and extract ore, and keep at least ten men constantly employed, and the net value of the ore was to be paid into the defendant's account to go against the purchase money; but it , was optional with Coleman whether he would complete the purchase or not. Coleman worked the mine for some"time and then threwV-ifc. up, leaAring several workmen unpaid, who thereupon filed liens against the mine. The question is whether under the construction. of the Mechanics' Lien; Act G odsol's pro-, j per fcy is liable for the liens. "*��� First, I will consider who is entitled to a lien. Every contractor, sub-contractor or laborer, doing Avork inter alia in connection with excavating, filling or grading any" laud in respect inter alia of-a'mine at the request* of the owner Of such land shall have a lien:for the- price of such work upon'the buildings, -and the land and premises-occupied thereby, subject to the proviso-that such lien shall affect only such interest in the said land as was vested in tho owner at the time the contract Avas made, or -any- greater interest which the owner might acquire during the progress of tlie Avorks. Tlie governing sentence here i. the request of the owner. Work done without -such request does not give .a lien. We then turn to the description of owner in its primary meaning. It means the person in Avhom the property on Avhich the Avork was done is vested," but the act extends the meaning to include a person having any.estate or interest, legal or equitable, in the lands upon Avhich the work has been done, or on whose behalf, or with whose privity or consent, or for whose direct benefit any such work is done. Apply this definition to the fact here. Coleman had au equitable estate in this land at the time this A\-ork was done. It was for his benefit aud at hisre- quesb the work was done. The. request of Coleman to the workmen was not the request of Godsol, and the court; has to be satisfied that Godsol either directly or indirectly contracted with .the lien", holders. [See Phillips on Liens, section 07.] The act is one whichmust be construed according to' the language used, and not extended to cases which are not within the scope.of the language. The' act specially- provides for works done on mortgaged premises, and gives a formula for ascertaining to what appreciated value the liens are-to attach. But even here the assent of the mortgagee in writing must havebeen given; but there are other cases not provided for. Then we come to section 7. That section makes the owner, or his agent, or the person having any _'righ.tinjbhe, land,_liable;for Hens unless he gives''notice . of non- l'-sponsibiliby. To construe this section as meaning that the oAvner could avoid the act altogether by giying notice, would render the act void. To construe it so that under any circumstances the work will be held to -be done at the instance of the owner whether he requested it or not conflicts with section 4. I think the meaning of the section is limited.to those cases where when improvements are done upon land by mistake the owner stands by in order to take advantage of the work done. In.sueh eases the work shall be held to be constructed at "tllelnstanee of "tlre-owneT\ Here the legislature draws': a distinction, between the owner aiid his authorized agent and the person having or claiming any interest in the land. Coleman falls into the latter class. He had an in'eresfc in this land at the time work was done. The description of the owner and the person claiming any interest in the land is in the disjunctive, thus making, a distinction between the two classes. This* section read with the proA'iso in section 4 renders it reasonably clear tliat the interest of Coleman which he had during the time the Avork Avas going, on washable to the lien, .and not the interest of the owner who Avas bound to convey to Coleman on certain conditions being fulfilled.

TO THE ELECTORS OF JN ELSON: At the request of a number of electors, I havo decided to offer my'elf as a candidate for mayor at the coming civic elections. 1 have served as aldorman two years of the four during which the city has been conducting its own affairs, nnd my record while in the council on Uio" questions that are now the most important issues > before the people of the city is such as will bear inspection. 1 believe that the cily has valuable assets in the water and electric light systems, and while in-- the council I did everything possible to safeguard these assets; and if elected mayor no actor vote of ni'iie wl 1 be in favor of allowing any outsido corporate interest to becomo a competitor-with l hi city in the business of electric lighting, a business in which tho city has already invested $70,000. ^ _.-,.. While in the council in 1897,1 voted in favor.ofr incorporating a fair wage clause in. all contracts,' > and that principle was carried out in both letter, and spirit. 1 see no reason-to chaiiRo my viows on that question now. And 1 believe, further,* that with competent ,rforemen and superintendence that the city can got as good value for the money spent by having the great bulk of its work done by day's labor an by the contract system, and no good reason can be advanced why thu' city should noLpay the same rate of wages and work men the same number of hours as prevails in private enterprises. I am in favor of giving Ihe buslnes* and prop-. crfcy interests every -safeguard- possible, and to that end I believe the fire department should be made ns efficient as possible, consistent wit li lhe revenues ot the city. - .��. . /' . Nelson should be kept in advance-of Its livals, and everything possible must be done to induce manufacturing enterprise? to locite here, for it i* lhe payrolls that build up the cities of -, today. Nelson, a western city, is as orderly and law abiding as eastern cities. This is because the people of Nelson are toleiant. I believe that this spirit of tolcra'inn should bo continued, and 1 will if elected mayor do no act to abridge or curtail the rights or ptivlleges of ono class of our cit'/ens merely because anothor class may havo different views. Tho ci*y has made a start in permanent, street improvements, and I am in favor of continuing these improvements as fast us possible, with duo regard io the revenues of the city. If elected mayor,.1 am in a position and-will pledge myself lo devote my time to the conduct* of the city's business. FRANK FLKrcniUt. Nelson, December I'llh, 1900. A CARD.

There are sneak thieves in town. A. Ferland ��S_ Co. have lost two overcoats and a pair of pants from the outside of their store in tlie last seven days. The articles were taken in the evening, between .*> and 0 o'clock. The Tramway company opened up its Hue to the C. P. It. depot yesterday aud cars are now running into the company's y.-vrd to a point at the rear of the new passenger depot. ���- Another car was put on to give the extra service and a ten minute service is being given on the line to the skating rink. W. W. Beer and F. A. Tamblyn, the ice committee, of the Curling Club, have taken over the ' south side of the rink and report the ice to be in splendid shape for skating. Today the "i-oarin' game" will be iu full swing morning and afternoon. Club tickets are on sale at F. A. Tamblyn's store and the demand promises to be lively. , "My business in December was the largest that I have ever had since 1 commenced business in Nelson," was the cheerful remark of a business man whose advertisement appeared in the first issue of Thf, Trih*;******, November 22, 1892, and whose advertisement has appeared ���in every issue of The Tribune since. It iudicates that Nelson had a good year in 1900, and it also indicates that advertising in The Tribune pays. SUPREME COURT BUSINESS Suit to Recover Mining- Interests. Suit was begun yesterday by L. A. Thurston of Slocan City against Gabriel L. R. Weyl, who represents French capital in British Columbia. MANY ARE ANXIOUS TO JOIN The plaintiff claims a seventh interest in the Derby and Nelson No. 2 mineral claims in the Rossland camp, together with a similar interest in about 130 lots in the railway addition to the city. The property in dispute was purchased about a month ago at $35,000 cash and is being taken over by a company now being formed in London, England, under the name of the Rossland Proprietory Company. Thurston claims a seventh interest under a declaration of trust from Weyl and seeks to have the interest in question set apart and tho trust declaration cancelled. In chambers yesterday S. S. Taylor, Q. C, secured an order for service out of the jurisdiction of the court. -..:������:��� ;';---.Y;Vj'^ *���**���>-.'���_���������' ; - ' -- '--': ������ ���' ... South-African Constabulary. If volunteers are called for the new South African constabulary it is probable. Nelson will be well represented. Up to the present time the militia department has not called for applications, although the British war office has agreed to accept,1000.Canadians for the new corps, the reason, for the delay in opening the list-being due to the necessity of further correspondence with the imperial authorities to establish a thorough understanding. Five Nelson men have signified their desire to join the new force aiid notified the .local militia officers to -that effect. When the militia- department calls for volunteers it is probable the. number of applications will be overwhelmingly large. The pay is to be'five shillings ($1.20) -per day * with everything in the shape of' rations-, and equipment furnished ��� gratis... This scale is liberal for -soldiering, being more than four times the pay of an ordinary British soldier, so that there is not likely to'be any vacancies go begging. The Imperial authorities further offer ten captains'^and fifteen lieutenants' commissions to Canadians, and the competition for these posts is safe to be sti IT.' The conditions are, briefly,".tiiat applicants must be good shots "ai*jd rifJer**, single and between .the age$ of 20.and 35 years. The preference!-, is to be given to men who have previously served in South Africa. . One of the men now applying from Nelson has lived for four years in Africa and is familiar with the country."

The new year and century was accorded a warm reception in Nelson if the volume of sound produced by a dozen steam whistles, several bells and several score of enthusiastic citizens may be accepted as a criterion. Tho hoarse whistle at the smelter was the first to warn the city that 1900 was a thing of "the past, and it was the signal for all the whistles in the city to take up the strain. The Methodist church and fire hall bells helped ont the bedlam which broke loose and the citizens who remained up for the occasion helped out with hearty cheers. in the nineteenth century. The club is a product of the closing days of the century and enters the new year and century with the distinction of being as live a social organization as exists in the city. R. J. Hummex of Erie, who conducted the gamesjof chess by mail with E. G. Smyth' of the club, was a visitor during the evening and gave the club an exhibition of simultaneous games at chess. He played several members at the same time and won all the games. It was to be regretted that E. G. .Smyth, the club's champion at chess, was unable to attend, as there would have undoubtedly been an interesting game between him and Mr.Hummex, both players being probably the most brilliant chess players in British Columbia.-!, ..

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-01-01 |
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. |
