It was all around the fireboxes of the wrecked engines. How an ; explosion of the: most terrific character is avoided is a mystery. There was enough dynamite on board the train to wreck every house for half ��� a mile around at least and to break every pane of glass in town. Superintendent Warfield of the street railway, ,wlio has spent most of his life in mining operations and is well acquainted with the properties of dynamite,. on- visiting Ythe scene of the accident gave it as his opinion that if ah explosion ;ha,d . taken place the town would h^ve been almost blown to' atoms. He was surprised that the railway had consented to carry such.an amount of the explosive, and-'especially so near the engine. It was sometime before the dangerous character of the contents of the cars was discovered. In the meanwhile a large number of sticks Of dynamite had been carried away, and serious consequences are still feared unless care is exercised by all who took them away.

Robinson's Patent Barley" Robinson's Patent Groats ALL NEW AND FRESH THE HUDSON'S There may be some difference" of opinion throughout the province"ai to whether' premier Durismuir's government is all .that it should be, but when it becomes an issue between the Dunsmuir government arid Joseph'Martin the difference of opinion melts away to the .vanishing point. Down on the Coast some newspapers set off against the loss resulting from the threatened stagnation of the mining and smelting _industry_o'f Kootenay__^the_gain_ which the province would make through increased royalties when James J. Hill secures control of the East Kootenay coal fields. It is generally understood this argument in favor of the granting of the Hill railway charter is made for home consumption only. The frequency with which prisoners take French leave from the Nelson jail threatens to undermine public confidence in that institution as,a place for the safekeeping of criminals. On Saturday, manager Paquette, of the Spokane & Northern Telegraph Company, Was requested to send a messenger to the jail to receive a message which James F. McGill de Riviere, who is held on a charge of murder, desired to have transmitted over tlie wires. The messenger was absent about half an hour, arid when he returned manager Paquette impatiently demanded the message. The kid had' not been near the jail, but he was equal to the occasion. He replied: " The man is not in." A writer in the Victoria Tithes has solved the vexed railway and fuel problem which perplexes the people cf Kootenay. He assures' Ms readers that the province has nothing 'to fear from the control bf the Fernie coal fields by James J. Hill, because there is plenty of coal on Vancouver Island, which, with the completion of the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern railway, the Kootenay smelters may draw upon. ��il that now remains is to con-' vince the British Columbia smelters that it is to their interest to forego" their present supply, and wait until they can draw on the Vancouver Island supply; and then convince the miue owners that their interests lie iu paying the British Columbia smelters the higher rate for treatment which was in vogue before tho Fernie coal fields were opened up. Tho issue may then be regarded as settled. It begins to look as if the federal government will consider favorably the applications looking to the fostering of the reduction and refining of the lead ores of the province. A leading spirit in this agitation for government assistance on behalf of the lead-refining, industry is T. G. Blackstock of Toronto,-who is said' to be one of tlie'prospective purchasers of the Canadian Pacific railway's smelter at Trail. It is doubtful' if matters in connection with the ��� proposed refinery- have yet assumed a sufficiently definite shape to hazard a' guess as. to whether the proposed refinery will be erected somewhere in Eastern Canada, somewhere in the interior of British Columbia, or at some point on the Pacific coast. There are many considerations to weigh in the choice of a refinery site, and right here there should be some missionary work'doiie by 'the'mem-' bers of the Nelson City council arid board of trade. Should British Columbia > be selected as- the site for the refinery, no point "in the province can offer better natural' advantages" than can Nelson, arid these advantages should be laid before the prime movers in the refining project, when it could be ascer-' tained,' if these inducements failed;' what' supplementary assistance would be necessary to secure'the refinery for Nelson. In 'moving in such' a matter it is not only the immediate'refinery which should be kept iri mind,- but the ��� kindrid industries for. backing up the refinery- product which would inevitably follow the establishment of the refinery." , '- ". An Explanation. ��� To the Editor pf The Tribune: Allow me space.- to deny a false statement I saw, in .The Miner this morning concerning the prisoner's' escape on Saturday, the 23rd instant. - In ^the first place, I had a crew digging up a frozen pipe between " Vernon arid Baker streets on Stanley. I corrifriericed in the center where the pipe had burst, according to the engineer's orders, and worked .both ways to get out of the frost and.lifted the pipe as I' went along. -.The upper end of the cut is opposite the C. P. R. ticket office and the other end is on Vernon street. Part of the men were working-at-each-end-of-the-cut,- and when I left the upper end and went down to the lower.end (it would beabout fifty yards)I turned around and saw that there was one man. missing from the work. ^ I went; back at once and saw hitri running through the alley. I drew my revolver and called him to come batik!. He turned his head around and kept , going. I was going to fire,,li.ut children being between the prisoner and myself Jn the alley prevented' me from doing so. I at once took the rest of the men in and .reported. That is all I could do under the circumstances. The man who furnished the information about me carrying a rifle made a false statement, for I have not carried a rifle for about a year. Mr. Bullock-Webster came on as warden during Mr. Fitzstubbs' absence, and -changed the ornament for a1 revolver, which I have carried ever since. I am very glad I did not shoot, for I might have got myself into trouble. I admit I am not a very good shot, but. I might do as well as those who have so much to say about me. John McAlmon. Nelson, February 24, 1901. THE HALL MINES SMELTER Week's Ore Deliveries. The shipments of ore to the Hall Mines smelter during the past week were about as large as the previous week���there being over 700 tons received. One or two new properties have been added to the list, but the shipments from them were comparatively small. Tho heaviest shipper was the Highland mine at Ainsworth. These consignments were entirely concentrates, consisting of some 100 tons. This is not equal to the amount sent down a week ago, but the difference is accounted -for in the delay in moving the ore. The Silver Hill mine above Crawford Bay ' shipped ' 80' tons. The Vanstone' Brothers shipped frorri their property on Coffee creek 25 tons. During previous weeks ore was brought from Moyie, Kaslo and' one or two other points, -but this week there was none. A larger quantity than usual was shipped from the Slocan district. ���FroriV the" Payne about 120 tons were'received, and about 60 toris each were sent iu from the Arlington and' Queen Bess. The Hewett shipped 20 tons, and. tlie Slocan Sovereign, which has just been closed down, shipped about 40 tons. The Hartney group at New Denver, is one that was added to the list" this week, and it forwarded t a consignment of about 40 tons. It is expected that the shipments from there will be regular every, two weeks. ; The Silver King on Toad mountain is daily shipping a considerable amount to the smelter! From the Ymir mine SO tons of concentrates were received. There have been no receipts from the Boundary camps for the past two weeks. ��� .

Phoenix, .February -24.���[Special to The Tribune.]���There are now 130-men employed by jthe Dominion Copper Company in this camp, and; of, these 92 are working {[on -the Stemwinder, where hand drilling still prevails. This company continues to crowd development as fast as possible and is putting on men wherever they can be used .to advantage. Five claims are now being worked, viz.-, Brooklyn, Stem- winder, Standard, Idaho, and Rawhide, the latter by contract. Orders have just been placed for machinery which will cost the company in the neighborhood pf $20,000 and will place the concern in' a position to carry on the exploitation of its properties on a more 'extensive scale. The James Cooper Manufacturing,. Company^ of Montreal, through its Rossland agent, H. R. Kirkpatrick, secured an order for a compressor, which is to be delivered in three months. <. An order for boilers and .engines -went* to an . American . firm, the Bradley'..Engineerings Company" of - Spokane. The compressor will be an Ingersoll-Sergeant machine, or what is - known as half of a high pressure cross compound Corliss 20- drill' compressor with simple air cylinder, and of the" piston inlet type. /It-Twill be fitted with all the latest improvements' known 'to. machinery.makers. The compressor- will be fitted with one high pres-' sure steam cylinder 18 inches in, 'diameter'by-36-inch'stroke and one--' simple air cylinder 18^ "inches in' diameter by 30-inch stroke. The* feed -water heater will -'be cof _ 200, horse power capacity and, the air receiver will be - 54 - inches by '12 feet in size. Eight 3��-inch Ingersoll-Sergeant drills have been .ordered with columns and hose, complete.

For some time prospecting has been -conducted on-the Brooklyn-ground near the, skating rink to find a bedrock foundation for the new compressor.

"Out of the nine months' cam: paign, crowded every day with new experiences andi fresh impressions, the fact^that impressed me most of all was the absolute self-reliance of 'the old man.' Roberts lifted up, promoted or destroyed the army 'generals���men as big almost as himself in the public mind���as if .they were little children. Yes.. Roberts had despotic control, of 200,000 men and ��70,000,000." The foregoing is taken from a graphic interview' in the Sydney Bulletin with "Banjo" ^atterson, who was in South 'Africa as war correspondent, aud who, as a writer of swinging verse, may be termed the Australian "\yhyte-Melville. - "The grandest picture of war that I-saw," he continued," was the charge of the Seaforth Highlanders. My God! It tightened your breath to- see them go across a quarter of a mile of open. There are no bugle calls in battle now. You see the men lying prostrate on the ground ���the bullets squealing and humming over them. When the officer rises���that's the signal for the men to rise and charge with him. And these fellows, led by a subaltern six ..feet four inches high���a big Highlander in his kilts���rose with him in a.flash. Thei e was no waiting, no watching, as with a. bad regiment, for some one else to rise and first draw the fire. They all tsprang up and rushed'forward. It I was a cruel thing to watch���all your nerves, were saying: 'One of those men will go down, any moment, downl' And -they went down���pitching heavily, helplessly forward, for' all the world as .if their feet had caught in something and they hadn't tried to save themselves from falling. "Oh! every feeling���even the ad-, miration for their heroism���was lost in the feeling' of horror I But, they rose and dashed forward! rose and dashed .. forward ! rose and dashed forward! and the Boers never waited to give them their revenge. Another thing ��� that impressed me was thatv no actual battlefield in the slightest degree resembled' the battlefield of the painter and the artist. In a picture, a gun is shown as it'tfppearson the stage. The gunners are, all'posing.1 The officer is there in a heroic'attitude, with ,his mouth wide open. In, a real action you will see fellows lying asleep beside the gun, while their mates carry,up the cartridges quick and lively, load and Blaze, while their officer is walking up and down very rigidly. ��� And when the bullets are coming at them fast, you can see that the men are thinking -hard about v the hotness.; of things, butfthey say nothing.-.v '%��� V'They do all'their Hvork1' quickly and quietly. And a battery com-' ing.into action is a very different spectacle from the artist's conception. There is no flourish, no style, about theireality... The animals are broken and jaded; aiid you will.see a driver nursing one wretch and chopping^ into the other to, get the gun along. The effect of the campaign on the Australians will be to make them 'fifty's times .more English than before. I'm sure that the bulk of oui' fellows would, after a few months' spell, assist in any other English war, out of a, feeling of comradeship.' And another effect of this war on.the Australians .is that it has killed inter-state jealousy among-them and has -caused them to regard Australians as xone people with one destiny." , j t f D. K.

Plans'are being worked out by the railroad companies which have been brought together by "community of interest"- for making widespread reductions of expenses. Orders have gone forth to dispense with all needless officials in the general offices and soliciting forced, and all, unnecessary agencies will be abolished. This policy ��� is to be vigorously^ pursued- on- the.7*Union* Pacific and Southern Pacific . sya^ terns-, "which' have lately /been* merged in the Reading & Jersey Central, the Southern Railway and ^Mobile & Ohio, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, Gonld and Kansas & Texas system, and the railroads affiliated with the Pennsylvania. It has further been decided to cut down as far as possible the actual operating expenses of railroads by taking off useless trains and applying the."per ton mile" method so successfully practiced by president James J. Hill of the Great Northern. The community of ownership and absorption" of one road by another will result in the dispensing with perhaps 3000 men in the general offices, including some high-salaried officials. At an average of $800 this means a saving of $2,500,000 a year. Probably 5000 agents and solicitors will be done away with when the full programme is earned out from one end of the country to the other. Here is a further saving of $2,500,000. In operating crews, by reason of cutting off useless competitive trains and regulating the size of the trains according to the traffic to be carried, perhaps 12,000 men can be dispensed with, thereby effecting a further saving of $6,000,000 a ^year. This would result in a total curtailment of 20,000 men in the regular railroad service.' In the proposed re- habilitation of the anthracite trade, providing for the joint handling of the entire output, some have figured out a saving of 50 cents a ton, or about $25,000,000 a year. There, will also be a correspondingly large increase in the. profits of bituminous coal through a concentration of interests, such as is under way. This, it is claimed, is a compre-j The Drunk:Must Go., -The -use -of.' intoxicants by . employes while on";duty, "or before , reporting for duty, is forbidden by the rules of/the Wabash railroad. :The adoption of a similar policy by many industries employ ing hundreds of men marks .a new era in bur development, and indicates that the regular situation-holders of the <future���in certain industries, at least���will .be' those with clear -brains and steady nerves.

Return Game at Rossland.
'Although the Nelson team defeated the Victorias of/Rossland by
a score of 12 goals to six in the
game played at the rink on Saturday night the latter put up much
better individual playing than the
members of the home team. ' From
the start it was quite evident that
the local team would win, as their
combination and especially that of
the forwards outwitted the visitors
at nearly every turn. Had the
combination been a strong feature
of the Rosslands probably/ they,
would not have suffered defeat.
Notwithstanding that Nelson secured fast and a large number of
goals Rossland did not slack its pace
and played a fast game to the last.
McOreary, their goal defender, lost
heart in- the last half a very loose
game. Through this Nelson scored
two or three points. The visitors
returned home last evening and
already arrangements are being
made for the Nelson team to go to
Rossland for a return game during
the latter part of this week.

that has been worked at the Bosun
mine whieh is situated some r distance below. During'the' past year
'the force has consisted 'of fifteen
miners, but a few days ago it was
increased to twenty-five. As the
work increases the company intend

improvements by installing new

The Jail Escape.
_ Convict John 'R.«Chisholm, who
escaped on Saturday from guard
McAlmon while he'was .watching a
gang who were digging a trench on
Stanley street, is still at large and
it is probable he is now "beyond-the'
reach of the law.' A description of
the prisoner lias been sent to all
surrounding Jpointe, but' no word
has been received. - The description
is as follows: "A^e 24 years, height
5 feet eight inches, black, hair,
brown eyes, fresh complexion, clean
shaven and weighing about 1.46
pounds." He is easily detected as
he has an impediment in his speech.
He was confined at the provincial
jail for six months on the charge of
theft and his time would have been
up on tlie 24th of May. Guilty
parties like to be sentenced to the
Nelson jail, as they think there is
always some hope of gaining their
freedom before they have served
out their sentence. Probq.biy more
prisoners Have escaped from the
Nelson jail than any other institution in the Dominion.
