"! OVER ON LA FRANCE CREEK Are Claims Worth Looking at. Thomas P.' Wall of Pilot Bay, owner of the Wall group, which is situated on La France creek, south " of Crawford bay, was in town on Saturday. He reports that the property is looking well. Mr. Wall "lia^do^e~froirn_$5000-tO-$00u0"wortlr of work in the way of tunnels and crosscuts. The ore is silver-lead and gives good assay values. ThB main ledge is large, in some places being 40 feet in width. Through the center of the ledge is a paystreak 18 inches wide, giving returns as high as $120. Further development work will be done at an early date in the spring. * Although the mineral claims along this creek are known to carry rich.ore, very little has been heard from the locality during the past few months. There are several properties undergoing development, and they promise to become mines. Outside of these there are a large number of prospects staked, and although little work has been done on them, there are' many indications that they are worth looking at. Since.the recent - strike , on the Show King,'which is situated near the Wall group, the tunnel has been driven 20 feet further. The vein has widened to 18 inches and * the ore.has increased, in value.. The tunnel cut the vein at a depth of 90 feet below the surface * croppings. The paystreak is 18 inches wide, of high-grade shipping ore, while the whole face'of the tunnel is mineralized, all being ore suitable for concentrating. The Workman group, situated on the same creek, is also a promising property. Considerable development work has been done and work is now being carried on with a small, force. They- have encountered 16 inches of copper ore, which'gives by assay 16 per cent copper. There is a proposition on foot *to do more extensive. development at an early date in the spring. The Miller group, which is situated nearby, is oh the same lead and with comparatively little work a large body of ore has been exposed. Work on this property has been' suspended, but active work will be resumed at the expiration of a month. . „ La France creek district will be the scene of extensive development operations this year.

'*' 1 Cowes", January 21.—12:15 a.m.— A collapse, or what the physicians feared was a collapse, occurred about 10 o'clock last night. Arrangements were hurriedly made to provide special telephone and telegraphic facilities. It is understood that the physicians have resorted to artificial methods to prolong life, such as are used only in cases of persons in the extremes. Tlie Associated Press learns that the paralysis is chiefly evident in the face, one side of which appears 'to have lost all nerve and muscular power. At six"o'cloe_Tlast evening tlie malady had not yet reached the vital organs, although it had caused an almost total loss of the power of speech. What was so much feared was that the brain might be attacked. Keenly sensitive of her affliction and appearance, the queen had absolutely refused to see any on© but her nurses and doctors, and it is understood that the prince of Wales is the only exception to this -rule, and that his interview lasted'but a few minutes. The nature of the malady is known only to a very few,.and it is the royal wish that the public should not be • informed of the existence of paralysis. Y <'■:-. ■"''- .-■- : New York; January 20i—In a special cable dispatch dated London, 6 a. m., Isaac N.. Ford, correspondent of the New^York Tribune,* says, "The prince of Wales had'intended to spend Sunday at Sandringham, and' visit the queen in' the course of a fortnight. * He: decided in the morning to remain at Marlborough House''*''but changed his; plans at' noon upon receiving ■ dispatches from Osborne urging him to go to Cowes without delay. The-railroad officials at Victoria, station had been warned to have a special train in readiness at short notice, and the prince arrived:at the station with royal punctuality a minute before the '.appointed, time. Princess Louise, who had expected to'go to Osborne on Monday to take the place of princess. Christian, had also received an unexpected summons and she joined the prince of Wales at the station in the course of a few minutes. The prince, in a dark suit, short overcoat and felt hat, was a conspicuous figure on the station platform. During the short interval of delay, contrary to his usual habit, he walked restlessly up and down the.platform and appeared deeply.-^agitated and depressed. , y j " The melancholy significance of this sudden' journey was appreciated !by the dullest of railway porters, ,and the train moved out in silence. A great shadow seemed to fall upon London during the afternoon, when special editions announced that the queen was suffer-. ring from „ physical^ prostration ac- "com_?aniedY by psymptoms -thafi caused deepianxiety., ' Tne half .holiday hail come after a week of ftqil,'-but tliere"was a strange hush "in "the"- Strand andj Piccadily, and every face^ in^omnibuses and on foot, was care wor hand!sad. The crowds of clerks and sfiop"girls knew that the good queen"* was "lying at the point of death,- and' that her- children were hastening 'to her bedside, and they were sobered and saddened by .the'-thought that .this' might bevtheir last'chance to -show their loyalty^tp her by communing" with.their^heart-r^aud being .still.' London has" witnessed all the triumphs of the-Jqueeh's reigri, from the gray morning when "her accession was announced'at old Kensington to-the seeon'd jubilee, but it never paid so" fine a tribute to her virtues and nobility of character as on'this murky Saturday, afternoon, "when' a"reverend;hus_i,fell upon the crowds in the streets,'"-' arid nobody -bad-jthe heart .to "s.ftiifei6:>Ihe^mati-; nee audiences at thel theatres seemed half ashamed to laugh at the comic business on the "stage, and when the curtain fell they "rose from a common impulse and sang "God Save the Queen? reverently, and with deep emotion, and there were tears in many eyes and voices were tremulous when the solemn refrain _ended. Glorious indeed is the reign whicli -leaves every subject with a sense of personal sorrow and bereavement when the sovereign is'stricken unto "death. - "The royal circle " at Osborne could not be complete, for the empress,Frederick was an* invalid at Cronberg, free from pain, but menaced with a recurrence of a fatal -malady The-duke^of_Comiaught was in Germany for the purpose of visiting her, but was caught on tlie way at Berlin and summoned in haste to Osborne. The princess of Wales came up to London during the afternoon and went on to Osborne with the duke of York. Princess Henry of Battenberg and princess Christian were already with the queen and welcomed the prince of Wales and princess Louise when they arrived. It has al ways been united, the. royal family, for the-queen had ruled her children with the law of love, and there had never been- jealousies or strife among them. The queen's will has always been,.lawY for her children, and in honoring her they had been>joihed together iin. bonds of affection. Mournfully- they gathered in response to the/; phyr. sicians' warning that the end might come at any time,- as. the aged sovereign's powers were 'waning. But happily there was ah improvement in the symptoms before nightfall. The princess of • Wales arid the duke of York arrived during' the. evening. The duke of Con- naught is expected today, and a warship has been sent to fetch the German emperor to Spithead. ':'_\"It'Jwas one of /tlieY;gloomiest nights London has ever .known. Not a light flickered from Buckingham palace, where so many stately functions had been ordered by the queeni The old . palace of St. James, where the girlish sovereign had shown herself at the .window when her accession was proclaimed sixty-three years ago, was dark and gloomy, and there was no light in Marlborough house. Pall Mall was empty and silent, and. the Strand was strangely quiet at the theater hour. It was tho first night at the Globe theater, where "Sweet Nell of Old Devry" had returned in triumph from tlie provinces, and the old playhouse was crowded to welcome her. * Miss ■ Neilson has seldom acted with more pathos and dramatic force, and Frederick Terry as "Merry Charles." was brilliantly effective, and'if the audience enjoyed the entertainment, it did not forget tlie shadow of the impend-, ing. calamity, at Osborne.* When the plaudits ceased at the close of the play,5,"God Save the Qiieen" was sung/with fervor and solemnity, as was done also at 'every theater and-^concert hall.' Slowly'the theaters_<a were-.emptied, and the1 Strand,. Whitehall and, Picadilly were quiet and dreary.' ' "At midnight the, queen was still living,-'for the bells'had not begun to toll, .but there/was little 'hope, .that.the* improvement - reported in "the medical, bulletins would be maintained/ The last word which the soldiers heard on leaving South- amp ton^at noon for South 'Africa ,was-that-the queen--was -sinking. It^was a per mature alarm that-saddened them as,they hetided for the open sea.' There was better news at the club houses' towards mid-- night, but it -'was clear that f there was no real hope entertained by the physicians of anything more than a tr'ansitoryv'rally. ,.The glorious "Victorian reign was slowly/ but „ surely approaching an *end, 'and silently- the preparations were making for opening the reign of.- E_dwardyVII., , The archbishop of Canterbury, ~and the lord chamberlain ,were at Osborne, where the prince of Wales could be summoned to the throne, and the prime minister was preparing to join them on the morrow, when a council of state might be ordered, and the national anthem be changed to "God Save the King." London, January 21.—This morning's newspapers have thrown off all pretence of any. possibility of her majesty's recovery, and sadly admit that the, end may come at any moment. Therefore, they proceed to review her majesty's long and illustrious reign, as though she were no more, aud to dilate upon the wonderful influence she wielded in European politics for so many years. London, January 21.—In the closing moments of queen Victoria's life another grave portent arises, namely the serious indisposition of tlie prince of Wales. He was so worried, tired and exhausted last evening that he could not respond immediately to the summons from Osborne House. The most he could do was to promise that he would leave London at 8 o'clock this morning if possible. The prince of Wales is spending the night at Marlborough House, and emperor William at Buckingham palace. Rome, January 21.—The pope yesterday telegraphed cardinal Vaughn, in London, to express to the royal family the feeling of sorrow which all Christendom shared with England, regarding , the illness of queen Victoria, adding: "The liberalreignof thequeen,which has permitted the Catholic church to increase in the United Kingdom, will leave an indelible trace upon all christian hearts." London, January 21.—Mr. Theed,. the sculptor, went to Osborne last evening in order to be ready to make the death mask. FouRhtYfpr Blood. .Paris/ January-20.—The long- expected duel between count de Lubersac and baron Robert de Rothschild was fought with swords at 11 o'clock this morning on baron Edhiond de Rothschild's estate at Bonlogno-sur-Seine. Tho carriage with the principals, seconds, doctors and a few friends arrived there from Paris shortly before 11 o'clock. Count de LuberEac's seconds were M. Sohege and coiint de Laborde, and those of baron de Rothschild were baron Leonino and viscount de Bondi. The duel began at 11:10 and lasted ten minutes, when -count de Lubersac received a lunge perforating his arm from the elbow to the armpit. The duel was then stopped. Both the count and thev baron fought' most determinedly, neither flinched^and neither~showed the slightest desire' to spare the other. Sixteen "engagements took place, all 'of a desperate character. The combatants attacked each other furiously. The sleeves of their shirts were literally torn to pieces by the, points of their swords as , they repeatedly lunged at each other. At-the sixteenth, onslaught baron de.-Roths-' child lunged at the count, who tried to parry, but failed, and the baron's sword penetrated his arm 'just above the elbow and issued at the armpit. The doctors, MM. Ber- ger and Poirier, -examined the wound. ~ They declared the count's life was not in danger, but it was impossible to continue the duel. Count de Lubersac was then driven back to Paris. . - , .

Some days ago Charles-IT. -Wolf, manager of the Sullivan mines Jin East'~ Kootenay, accompanied the' manager of the Trail smelter jto Montreal to consult president Shaughnessy of the Canadian Pacific on-the subject of a new contract with the Sullivan. They were there met by senator George Turner of Spokane, the president of the .Sullivan Mining Company. The conference, it is said, resulted in a contract for the year 1901 between the company and the Trail smelter under which a graduated freight and treatment ratie, varying nccording to the quality of the ore, "isTgiven, under wh'icirfclie'mine will" get on an average .$2 per ton more for tho ore shipped than it did in 1000. Tho new contract is stated to be a satisfactory one and it will be the policy of the company to ship as much ore under it as can be handled .advantageously. During tho month of December the Sullivan shipped 1330 tons of oro to the Trail smelter, so it will be seen that tho Sullivau is a large producer.

On Friday forenoon a mucker named John Kennedy was killed in the Ruth mine at Sandon. He was tramming in a drift in which a miner was stoping. This miner was shovelling the waste into a chute which was two sets of timbers back from the face of the drift, aud it is supposed that Kennedy misjudged the distance when he stopped his car, and on going forward fell into the open chute, the lower end of which was some eighty feet below the drift. When found, Kennedy's heart was still beating, but his neck was broken and his skull fractured. He was 22 years of age and a fine young man. He was a member of the Sandon Miner's Union, and the body was taken by them to Virden, Manitoba, where his relatives live. This is the first fatal accident that lias occurred at the Ruth, and manager Alexander bore all the local expenses of the funeral. Fight is Declared Off. 7" San Francisco, January .

Lord Colville, Gatacre and Warren are the chief losers in a war which has been a lottery of reputations with twenty blanks for every prize. General Hunter, who has been one of the winners, has been"invalided—homeT^and general- Tucker, of whom little has been heard during the campaign, has taken his placo at Bloemfontein. General Clements, who was recently concerned in the serious mishap in the western Transvaal, has been advanced in military command. This is an indication that colonel Broadwood has been held responsible by lord Kitchener for that re- vorse aud has beeu ordered home on that account, after having been vindicated by lord Roberts for the more serious mishap at Sannas Post last spring. The war office has been playing havoc with military reputations, and is now complaining that the newspapers have made too much of general French, whose ability in the field, lord Lansdowne seems to think, has been heavily over-rated.: There is no doubt that the queen's wishes have prevailed, and that lord Roberts has consented to the appointment of the duke of Con- naught as adjutant-general on the expiration of sirV Evelyn Wood's••■; term. This appointment will have an important bearing upon army reforms, since it will render it ft delicate matter for the members of parliament to speak critically of military men while the queen's son is the chief spirit at headquarters. The resignation of .the duke of Cam-' bridge was desired by the men "in parliament on that account, and there has been greater freedom of discussion while lord Wolseley has been in command of the army."

The building and operation of a smelter at Kaslo should do as much for that town as the building and op- ��� eration of smelters have done for Nelson, Trail, and Grand Forks. The building of the smelter at Nel- " son gave this town an impetus that did a power of good. Real estate values stiffened, building operations commenced, and all classes of peo- ._ple_had-renewed_conndence_in_the. town's future. What is true of Nelson is also true of Trail and Grand Forks. No town in the country is more deserving of permanent prosperity than Kaslo, for her people have made brave efforts and great sacrifices to .hold their own. May the smelter be built, and built at once,, is the wish of The Tribune. The Tribune is accused of being in favor of placing an export duty on ore. Such accusations are not based on facts. The Tribune is in favor of legislation that will hove a tendency to give the people Of British Columbia the maximum of benefit that should be derived from the mining industry. The maximum of benefit can only be secured when the raw ores of our mines are smelted in local smelters, and the product of the smelters locally worked into articles of commerce'. This is slowly being brought about without legislation, but legislation would hasten the good work. The Tribune favors legislation ^hat would lighten the burdens of taxation on the mine owner who has his ore treated in British Columbia , and at the same time increase the burden of taxation on tbe mine owner who prefers to send his ore to a foreign country for "treatment. The owners of the Knob Hill and Ironsides mines at Phoenix are now mining 600 tons of ore daily, which is treated at a, smelter At Grand Forks, British Columbia. This ore pays the province* approxi- . mately, $36 a day in taxes, and, in addition, the smelter at Grand Forks pays, taxes on real estate and personal property. The building and the operation of the smelter lias helped establish real ' estate values at Grand Forks, and that town is flourishing and. progressive. The owners of the Le Roi mine at Rossland are also mining 600 tons of ore a day. This ore is treated at a smelter at Northport in 'the United States. The province has had- great difficulty in collecting any-tax at. all on the ore, because the owners of the mine, who are also the owners of the smelter, claim that the freight and treat- rnentYrate on the ore is almost as much per ton as the ore is worth at the pit mouth. The smelter at which the ore is treated being located just across the line in the United States cannot well be taxed in British Columbia. Now, which of these two mine owners are of the most benefit to the people of this province ? ���The plans for- the new official residence of the lieutenant-governor of the province have been accepted, and it'seems that they were drawn by men who but lately established an office in' Victoria. This makes the newspapers of Vancouver cry aloud and clamor for a new deal. The best is none too good for British Columbia, and the' newspapers that are crying for a new deal on these plans do not hesitate to hire the best men they can get as editors and reporters and printers, and never ask a question as to where they were born and bred. Apparent*-*-, an organized effort is being mode to make it appear that the 2 per cent tax on the output of metalliferous mines is not only an unfair one, but that it works a great hardship on the men who are developing mines. The latest newspaper to take up this side of the contention is the Revelstoke Herald, which is an offshoot of the Calgary Herald, whose editor is now in Victoria "working" the provincial' government to reduce or abolish the 2 per cent tax. Tlie Herald may be sincere, but its editor is not well posted on the question which he attempts to discuss. The Herald says the tax is a royalty, and that it is levied on the gross output of the mines. The tax is not a royalty, and it is not levied on the gross output of the mines. The tax is levied in lieu of all other forms of taxation on mining property, whether held as real estate or as personal property, and it is levied on the selling price of the ore at the pit mouth. The contention that the tax works a hardship on the poor man who is developing a prospect is, to say the least, a trifle far-fetched. Ore to the value of $5000 is exempt from taxation, and there are few claims undergoing development which ship during a year ore that is worth $5000 at the pit mouth. The cry against the tax is raised by the managers of foreign mining companies, and non-residents like the editor of the Calgary Herald, who object to paying any - taxation, either direct or indirect, but who never tire in making demands for appropriations for building roads and- trails to their properties. Taxation should be just, and no tax that has yet been levied is more fair to all the people of the province than the 2 per cent tax on the output of metal mines. The minerals that are mined and sold cannot * be replaced, and the land from which the minerals are taken is afterwards valueless for taxation purposes. A mine may produce ore of* the value of $1,000,000 in three years, and be non-productive ever afterwards. The tax-evaders want such a mine taxed as real estate, in order to escape taxation altogether; as for every one that pays real estate taxes promptly - to the province,'two never "pay at all. An exhausted mine is just as worthless an* asset to the province on which to realize delinquent'taxes as it is to any other creditor of a mining company who seeks to recover a debt. On the other hand, a mine that produces in three "years ore of the value of $1,000,000 at- the pit mouth pays the province $20,000 in all under the 2 per cent tax, which does not seem to be an unfair share to return to the province. taxation men en- industry. Compare this rate of with what is paid by the gaged in the lumbering One industry is much the same as the other, for both take away that which cannot be replaced. The market price of rough lumber at the mills in Kootenay'averages $10 for a thousand feet board measure. Every ten dollars' worth of lumber pays the province 50 cents in direct taxation, as against 20 cents paid by the man who sells ten dollars worth of ore. The mill-owner strips land of timber, and the land so stripped often afterwards becomes a taxable asset as a farm. The mine-owner strips land of its. ore, and the land so stripped is worthless ever afterwards for any purpose. J. J. Young of the Calgary Herald is one of a deputation who are in Victoria urging the provincial government to abolish the 2 per cent tax on the output of metal mines. It js understood that Mr. Young's mineral-claim holdings are undeveloped wild cats in the neighborhood of Trout Lake in" the Lardeau district. The present city council have the. confidence of the people, as 'their election ��� by acclamation shows. They were not elected because they promised to work great reforms; no such promises were made by either of the seven gentlemen who will sit at the council-board tonight for the first time. Their promises were few, and are easy of carrying out. The city, has three revenue- earning "public utilities.. They should be kept up to the highest possible state of efficiency, and if they are no sensible taxpayer will object to the cost incurred as long as there are no leakages. The various civic departments should be made' thoroughly efficient, as the expenditures now required are far beyond those of an ordinary-sized ^B**_Z^ ^__��.��.^__' t___t__5_ ____ __m_? __���_*_��__ ____*___*t ________' ____������'^^ *-_5^ __���?/���_! ���^W*': *m___,'^L__\ ^___^__\ '^**\'^&_^^~\^~*\^^0.'^^. ^a^^M-*: ^*W>'<^^'a����<|fr ' ^^__t_.._0* __0 *''00* A_0 ' At0* 00 ' 40' 00 ' ^0* __F * 00*'^0 .9"___W*~__0 ' _W0*:-__0 m'__0 to to to B to ************************************ to to to to to to to ��� ������ CLEARANCE SALE ...

Savings Bank Branch ���CURRENT RATE OF INTEREST PAID. CIVIC DEVELOPMENT. John DeWitt Warner, in a paper contributed to the Christian Herald, suggests the lines along which improvements will - be made in the management of civic affairs during the present century. The program of improvement which he outlines is a comparatively modest one. It should be carried out long before the new century has-- grown old. Certainly, the progress made in civic government during the nineteenth century was greater than the progress which would be necessary to reach the, ideal conditions pictured by Mr. Warner. As he is , an authority'on municipal affairs, it is interesting to know what Mr. Warner hopes for in the way of municipal reforms. Here is his prediction : Artificial light has for centuries . been recognized as a necessity of civilized man.and public order.'-- It is, therefore, rapidly and ,certainly coming to be regarded as a want which should be directly met by the municipality; and it is as nearly certain as may be, first, that public control,' and; in general, public operation of city light plants will prevail. .- And we are tending rapidly toward a similar,policy as to heat. Y - _", " - * - .< ' As to transport facilities;^ not merely'will clean, dry and spacious streets be the rule, but systems of "subway transport will probably be more extensive than are now surface ones; while, both;above and under ground, the rate,of transport will be such as to approach a free supply? That is, fares will .be" so low, as compared with other factors, in the use of cars, that - these selfsame factors, and not expense, will determine their use by- each.' "-It is probable that, as: in the case of water, the. expense-^of individual supply, so free as not to -limit use, will be met by fares so petty as to be scarcely more than required to prevent waste; and - the * operation by the city of these "moving' highways" will become as much a matter of course as is now the repair and preservation of our streets for pedestrians.. The whole, field of express service will be so extended as .to provide not merely messenger service much more complete than ' nowj but for the safe carriage, and prompt delivery to any part of the municipality'of articles deposited at any other part. Telephone service,' also, will be correspondingly cheap and abundant. One result of increased transport and communication facilities will -bethe-growth^-of-public-kitchensr -where shall be prepared the meals of most of our citizens, which they will receive ready served, of better quality and more promptly and regularly than the domestic, economy of the average household can hope to furnish them. These will have been preceded by public laundries, which will relieve the wage earner's household of a most important item of its present discomforts. It is not easy to predict how shall be solved the problem of manual labor by married women. Whether with better wages and cheaper living they will be in general relieved of other cares, than those of wife and mother? or whether, with more opportunity for self-support and partially relieved from present home duties, the number of wage earners among married women will increase? It is practically certain, however, that the right of every child to good care, nurture and education will be better protected with every decade; ..that day nurseries will be one of the public facilities soon provided as a matter of course; and that labor which takes mothers from their - children will be permitted only in cases where proper care of all children below school age is definitely provided for. Public baths as nearly free as to be habitually used by all and so numerous and extensive as to leave such use unlimited, will be as much a matter of course as sufficient air for breathing. Still greater relief, not merely to the poor, but especially to .those of moderate and large means, will result from the complete system of hospitals that, by*- 2000, for one who is so ill that he cannot go about, to remain at his residence will be as unusual as a hundred years since It was universal fo every copaideraMe city, THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE WITlt WniCII IS AMALGAMATED THE BANI-i OF "BRITISH COLUMBIA.

More provision will be made for public recreation. Beautiful sculpture, instructive paintings and fully- equipped libraries will characterize the typical city. And long before the year 2000 taxation will have been so adjusted as to encourage, not discourage, the fullest improvement of land \ public franchises will be so universally operated direct by the public, that a street railway company or private waterworks for public supply will seem as archaic as personal government by royal charter, or the farming of taxes. New Conservative Policy. =_i Hamilton-Herald. .��� It is now virtually admitted even by Liberal journals, that the conditions upon which the Crow's >Test Pass Railway subsidy was granted have not been very helpful in securing justice to the people of British Columbia in the matter of transportation. The 0. P. R. monopoly is as strong as ever it was, and there has not been any appreciable relief in freight rates in the Pacific province. The subsidy granted to tho C. P. R. in aid of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway was almost large enough to build the line. How much better would it have been for the Dominion government to have built the line itself and operated it as a government work, granting running rights over it to all railway companies on equal terms? If that .policy had been pursued, the immense coal fields of the Crow's Nest Pass could have been taken over by the government and been used as a source of revenue to the Dominion, as well as to British Columbia, thus removing all danger of a monopoly of the coal supply. The short-sighted policy of heavily subsidizing railway enterprises should by this time be generally discredited in Canada. It should give place to government construction of railway lines in air cases where such construction is necessary in the public interest. Two great opportunities were lost when the Crow's Nest Pass Railway and the Rainy River Railway were heavily subsidized as private enterprises. These two railways might have been important links in a transcontinental railway wholly under government control. Even yet it may not be too late to plan for such a system, and begin the work by extending the Intercolonial Rail way. westward to .the lakes.

It cannot be done by competing lines controlled by private corporations, for, in the. end, competition between private corporations is sure to result in co-operation. A transcontinental line operated as a public work for the bene- fit'of the public; would effectually prevent the monstrous discrimination in freight rates against Canadian shippers and in favor of American shippers, and the discrimina-, tion in favor of .some localities' against others in this country. Here is, a new policy for the Conservative party, ready to hand. Will its leaders have courage and farsightedness enough to seize upon it? Mining the Chief Industry. The entrance of ' the Commonwealth of Australia into existence with the new year deserves especial mention in view of the importance of the new state from au mining point of view. There are few countries in which mining forms so large and important part of the national wealth and resources as in Australia; and the union of the colonies will doubtless have a favorable effect on'their' mineral industries, as' on all-others." Uniformity of tariff and patent legislation will be a great advantage, and others will be manifest in-time. There is great growth and prosperity before the new' Commonwealth, and its mineral industry will contribute a full share of the gain. ��� Capital is Abundant. , -* The1 tendency- to compete with 'the so-called trusts and1 combines is again illustrated by the statement' that the Carnegie Steel Company is about to erect a-plant for making tubes'and pipes on a'large scale. In this case, of course, there is no idea entertained of selling out to the combination. It is simply a business proposition-, the Carnegie company doubtless realizing that a part of its steel production can be marketed profitably in the form indicated. -It is.altogether probable^ that we shall see a great expansion of competing plants during the next year or two. Capital is abundant, and there are plenty of capable men ready so undertake the management of new plants. ��� ���> Surpassing* Display in Fall Suitings All the fashionable creations in Fall and Winter wear are ~inclucled~in my last consign^ ment of Scotch and Irish Serges, Tweeds and Worsteds, and Fancy Trouserings E.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-01-21 |
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. |
