Withheld in Deference to the Wishes of Kitchener and Milner���Proceedings in Commons. *�� ^London, February 19.���Ia the house of commons secretary Broderick gave an official "denial to the story that orders had been issued that, all Boers captured in khaki uniforms were to'be shot. _ Colonial secretary s Chamberlain informed the house that a proclamation setting forth the intentions of the government in the administration of the South- African colonies had already been drafted, but had not been issued, in deference to the opinion of general-Kitchener and sir Alfred Milner that the time was not yet opportune.3- ' When the debate on-the address in reply to'the king's speech at the opening of parliament was resumed, Herbert Henry Asquith, Liberal, the former home secretary characterized rthe speech of Mr. Chamberlain - yesterday afternoon as a , revival of the "billingsgate of the general' election." He repudiated the suggestion that .the opposition favored the' undoing the annexation vpf the. two .republics, but he said a'settlement would'not 'be' acceler^ ated by truculent language-but by- the combination of a-strong army capable of commanding respect and terms not derogatory s to. either the victors or_the vanquished.

Manila, February 19.���Colonel Schuyler with 100 men of the 46th regiment on the . gunbeat rBasco landed on the Cavite coast near Ternate and proceeding inland captured a small rebel garrison. Continuing hislnarch along a mountain trail colonel Schuyler was attacked by rebels'bf Tria's command. After a sharp fight the enemy was beaten and scattered. One American' was killed and one was wounded. The United States - transport Rosencrans lias returned here from the island of Guam after landing there the Filipino prisoners who have been transported to that place. The prisoners were landed January 12th.. They- -occupy an - elegant prison site four miles from Agana. The prison is called the presidio. It was situated on an ascent and strict discipline was maintained. The officials of the branch' of the Hong Kong bank here have announced that Ross, the Englishman who wrote a letter published in an Australian paper criticizing the Philippine -commission, American officers, and'the American policy, in general, has been ordered to ���' proceed'to Hong Kong. ' The British community is well pleased that the man has been sent away. A Suggested Tariff. London, February 19.���The Daily Mail, in view of the necessity of raising money for the war in South Africa, still "in full blast," advocates a tariff for revenue purposes, which ib says differs entirely from a protective tariff, the virtues and vices of which it is needless to discuss, although the speed and precision with which Russia has brought the United States to their knees by retaliation are most instructive. It suggests a 10 per cent ad valorem, duty on foreign manufactures. This suggestion will probably find considerable support in view of the almost- certain increase pf the income tax. Smelters Badly Needed. , "Unless we can find a market for our ore we will be forced to shut down all operations by the middle of next week." This was the statement, made by David Heap of Sandon, secretary- of the v Last Chance-Mining Company," who was in Nel^ssJast evening en route to TraiLflltlPfe��-5r ._ Th^__l_8^OTife?B��SfeiPpi,,g its orar^^aSgaQj^P^Brks at Kaslo, but as th&r&3^^^&on- has 'now on handmuch more^Sre than it can " handle it has refused to accept any'further shipments/ The 'mine is looking much better than it has since dewlopment was started. Active work is being carried on, and as the company is now running a long crosscut tunnel, in , ore at a heavy expense, it would be impossible to do any more work unless they could get returns from the ore. Miv Heap said that they proposed to continue work if they could.only market .the ore. The tramway has for some time past been working to its full capacity and��now all the ore bins are full and there is no room for further storage. ,_ Mr. Heap leaves this morning for Trail, where he will try to arrange with the Canadian Smelting Works so as to gain a temporary relief.* If he can get a market until such time as contracts can again beanade the I operations atT the mine will not have to^ be suspended. t-As rthe "smelter trouble has been brewing for some time''the' company was forced at the beginning of the year to reduce its force from 100 to 75 men." Mr. Heap was afraid 'that another'^ reduction of the- v staff would soon have to take place, in any event. _ ���,,^ ."Becoming Aroused:"Y _r^ -E. S. Tapping, president ofthe_ -Trail board "of trade, was'in the-eity- yesterday for a few hours. Mr. Tapping has had - considerable experience in mining in this'province and of-late has-been looking into jthe question of, the .smelter .trouble.' He^ stated "that, the .country was being greatlylaffected by it'. - He is in favor of having- an export "duty" on the production of silver-lead mines. The board of trade' has already taken this question up and it ' lias authorized its delegates to. the meeting of ��� the associated boards of trade, which is held at YGreenwood on February ' 28th, to make this question one of the -main features of that'meeting. They -will try to bring about a resolution by which ' the Dominion government will be ' asked to give a bounty on the productions of smelters .and' refineries 'and thus encourage such institutions to be jestablished in British jDol- umbia at once. 18 IN NO HURRY ABOUT'IT NICARAGUA CANAL MATTER CAN BIDE ITS TIME. Von Waldersee Has England and the United States Guessing as to His Latest Move. . London, Lansdowne's Mine Owners to Meet. W. E. Zwicky of Sandon, man- ageV^of_the_Payne_mine_and^.presU dentLof the Mine Owners' Association, was in the" city yesterday en route to Rossland. There he will meet the central executive committee of the association, of which-a meeting has been called to discuss the American trusts and the relation they bear to the local smelters and mining industries. Mr. Zwicky would not express an opinion in the matter as he thought that it should first be discussed before the executive. He was 'satisfied, nevertheless, that if some immediate steps were not taken to remedy the situation that a number of the galena properties, and especially those of the Slocan district, would be forced to shut down. February ��� 19.���Lord notification to Mr. Choate may safely ^be taken as an indication that the British government does not desire to force the China' or Nicaragua questions to* an issue any earlier than is absolutely necessary. It is understood that the United States ambassador was responsible for bringing , up ^ the ���Nicaragua matter, pointing out how short'a time was left for an answer'1 before the lapsing of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty. - The reply of lord Lansdowne did not by _any means positively pledge the British cabinet to make a* decision,^ although it indicates that the United States might expect, that so" far as the Nicarag'uan question was concerned, any further consideration on the part of the cabinet would.be merely informal,"as" the,foreign, office has known the.nature.of the replyTfor some weeks, which will not vary, from the forecast, already made1 in these dispatches. ���; -^ y:.-'" * China; however, is ''another "matter:. .The foreign . office appears' genuinely in,the dark as'to the real significance of count ,voh' Walder- sse's last order's.-' 'It is-.hoped that by Friday information will be forthcoming to enable'Great Britain to decide as to what is really going on in the far east. ~ At 'present' she is not more anxious than ,the United States to take part" in an extended campaign ihtb,the interior of China, but.! the, repqrla^from the^jeat J>f "action" are" sof-^ lord Lansdowne refrains from sending mandatory, dispatches or .committing himself to any definite line of international action. The American opposition to count von Waldersee's' reported action receives cordial .sympathy from the British, though it ,is thought -they are inclined to doubt whether the right'construction is placed upon his motives. -Lord Salisbury has so often put'England on-record as oppoeedto aggressive military operations iii China that, officials here can. scarcelyt conceive that count von Waldersee would issue' orders so utterly at variance with the attitude of Great Britain and the United States. warned to prepare for the resumption of operations. "__' The Bluff Worked. - London, February;! 9.���Dr. Morrison, wiring the Times from Pekin, says: The Chinese "declare that the threat of the Waldersee expedition has been successful and that the court has yielded and; issued a decree fully complying "with the demands of the foreign envoys on the question of punishments. 'These statements require -corroboration,' but they are generally believed here. Commenting -editorially on this and other dispatches from 'China, the Times says: The blank ignorance of the^'government regarding 'the WalderiseeV expedition seems more suVprisin^than ever in view of thetelegr'ams'we published today. ��� If our Pekin news is correct 'the foreign envoys will have a curious experience in - discovering that the most important" .feature of- the, negotiations, has been" settled by an expedition^ which 1 they ~w'ere' unaware of . y. -_.._ WANTED TO TALK IN IRISH REMARKABLE COMMONS SCENE IN YESTERDAY.

As the teams are evenly matched the game was strongly ' contested throughout, and when time was called the score was even, each side having secured 5 goals. ' The game was resumed and only a few minute elapsed before the C. P. RYhad won the game by scoring the sixth goal. About a week ago the two teams played and the wholesale clerks won. To Start March First. London, February 19.���The Waldersee expedition, according to a dispatch to the Morning Post from Tien-Tsin, is to start March 1. Its motive and the mystery surrounding it are the subject of much comment. The Daily Graphic considers that, whether it is a bluff or in earnest, the whole thing is "stupid and mischievous, tending, only to make the powers ridiculous in the eyes of the Chinese." Berlin, February 19.���It is understood that United States ambassador White made* representations today to the foreign office regarding the reputed expedition of count von Waldersee- into the interior of China, and that the foreign office gave him reassuring replies. It is understood that the foreign office told Mr. White that such expeditions, weve designed chiefly to convince the Chinese government that the powers would not be trifled with. The National Zeitung and other inspired papers assert that field marshal count von Waldersee has no intention of embarking on a large expedition in the interior of China, but they say the Chinese will find strong forces ready to act if they continue to procrastinate. Von Waldersee's sphere of action, it is pointed out, is to be limited to the province of Chi Li. Chinese Notified. London, February 19.���The Reu- ter Telegraph Company has received the following from Pekin, dated February 19: The German, British and Japanese legations notified the Chinese that the allies were preparing an expedition toward Sian Fu in the event of the court persisting in its present unsatisfactory attitude regarding the punishments. Thereupon the Chinese plenipoten- tiaiies wired * urgently to Sian Fu counseling immediate compliance and pointing'out that now there was only the question'of the death of a few persons really deserving such a fate, whereas an advance of the allies would mean the death and distress, of thousands, besides causing the powers to treat China with greater harshness than if a settlement were arrived at without further military operations. Five I Identified ^by 'Three Perssons-'Police Think They Have a-Cltte to Another of the Bandits^ - - O.UAHA, February 19.���The police have under arrest James Callaghan, charged with "complicity in.the ab/ duction of-Edward Cudahy/ jr., on 'the night of December 18th. * Callaghan was arrested last Saturday, but the police have kept it a secret in the hope of securing other arrests. Young Cudahy has positively identified him as, the < man who accosted him near the Cudahy residence and represented himself to be a sheriff from an adjoining county and forced him into a buggy, and also as tha man who kept guard over him at the Melrose mill house, during the thirty hours he was kept a prisoner pending the negotiations for the ransom of $25,000 which Mr. Cudahy paid for the return of his boy. Dan H. Bussis, who sold a horse and buggy to the two men who are supposed to have used it to procure the abduction, also identified Callaghan as one of the men with whom he made the deal. Marie Larsen, a servant in tlie employ of J. N. Patrick, of whom the kidnappers rented a house, was the, third person to identify Callaghan and says he is the man who paid a month's rent in advance for a cottage in Happy Hollow which the bandits abandoned two weeks before the abduction fearing discovery. Tonight the police secured information which they expect will lead to the arrest of another man connected with the crinie. He is a coachman of a family friend of Mr. Cudahy, and it is claimed that he has been aoting very queerly in the matter ever since the kidnaping. The chief of police says this man will be arrested tonight or in the London, -February 19.���Thomas O'Dorinell, Nationalist, began his address in'the' Irish language and the speaker called him to order after he had spoken three or four sentences, reminding him that to speak Irish was an unknown 'practice in the house of commons.

John Ram, 52 years old, the proprietor of a butcher shop in New York, was sent to prison in default of a fine by justice Jerome for selling horseflesh as first-class sirloin steak. Counsel for Ram asked that, as it was the butcher's first offence, the court extend clemency by a suspension of sentence. Assistant corporation counsel Steiuert, who prosecuted, opposed the request/ saying .the practice of selling horseflesh was becoming too prevalent in New. York and must be stopped. Justice Jerome said the offence with which Ram was charged was a most reprehensible one and sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 or 30 days in the city prison, whither the butcher was taken.

JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT During the past four days no Eastern Canadian mail has been received in Nelson over that branch off James J. Hill's railroad known as the Nelson & Foit Sheppard. Breaks of four days in the mail service are inconvenient to business men, and attention is called to the matter in the hope that the postmaster-general may make such changes as will ensure something like a regular service, even should it be found necessary in doing so to pay the Canadian mail subsidy to a Canadian transportation company. The Vancouver World says there are untold millions of tons of coal lying hidden in ' the ��� bosom of mother earth, and therefore the people of Kootenay who oppose James J. Hill's attempt to corner the present available fuel. supply are acting the part of dogs in the manger. The .World evidently overlooks ,the buxom, proportions of mother.earth, and, makes light ^>f the"-difficulties attending* the discovery of any thing vaguely de- The members .of the Epworth League of the. Methodist church, the -Young People's Union of the Baptist church and the Christian Endeavor of the Presbyterian church met in St. Paul's church last evening/ During the .course of the meeting some consideration was given to "the matter of the obt< servance of Sunday in Nelson when the' following resolution-was moved andfadopted ::" r* >^, ���\ "Wliereas/there exists in the city of Nelson a condition' "of affairs utterljrat variance''with Christian principles,* good .government, and the' laws of*ourv"country; saloons are publicly kept open beyond'the hours allowed by statute and* only ostensibly closed" on-tlie Sabbath; and, whereas, gambling -is known to exist in'saloons," aiid in the _ rear. , of cigar stores and news stands;' and, whereas,, the t Sabbath is flagrantly desecrated By' tlie playing of , baseball ahd^'other ''games .upon the.public' recreation grounds, disturbing the" peace of our citizens [and setting a bad example'to the" young 'growing up" in our midst,' and disregarding the divine intent of the* Sabbath as a day of rest and worship, and turning it into one of hilarity, and, in many instances, of "dehauchery r*, ' Jr Be it therefore Yresolved,'!. That 'we, the United Young People's"Societies' of" Christian Endeavor of ithecity of .Nelson, desire to plac^ ourselves on record as " opposed to the above recited violations of both the moral, and- civil laws, and are determined that we will' use every -lawful and-persuasive.means in our_ power to bring about a better condition of affairs. 2. That we are heartily in sympathy with the movement just inaugurated to form a local branch of ��� the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada in j^ur city and will aid it by every means in our power. 3. That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the minute book by the secretary of our local union of Christian Endeavor, and that a copy of the same be given to the press for publication. j Fortunes of Great Orders. Paris, February 18.���Two closely printed volumes of 1000 pages each have been distributed to the members of the chamber. The printing of them has cost ��800. They are packed with statistics on the fortunes in real estate of the religious orders, and show their progress since 1850, wheu the worst wave of reaction that France ever experienced set in. That year they owned properties valued at ��2,000,- 000. Their ostensible real estate has since risen to ��14,000,000, but the wealth held in trust and otherwise kept out of sight must, it is thought, considerably exceed ��120,- 000,000. Should this ratio of increment continue they would in another half century possess ��400,- 000,000 to ��800,000,000. t Therearealtogether 3210 religious houses in France. Of these 2784 have schools of various kinds. Since 1877 the religious orders have swarmed in Algeria, where they number 30,130 members. The numbers are not given of that swarm to the.other French, colonies, and to Canada and British . India, - where Roman pathplic. enterprise is very 'great. Sacred -Heart, convents, go in for elegant education for young women. They have beens rapidly. Supreme Court- Business. When the supreme court opened yesterday morning Mr. Justice Irving, gave his judgment in the case of Briggs vs. Newswander, and it was in fayor of the defendant. He stated that he had found all the facts in favor of the plaintiff, but he held that" the contracts which were made between the parties involved were so vague that it was Impossible for any court to enforce them. He therefore gave judgment in favor of the defendant without cost. Action has already been taken to appeal the case. _ " ��� The next case before the court was that of Wigen vs. the Nelson & Bedlington -Railroad Company. It appears that the plaintiff owns a mineral claim near Creston, and some time ago the railroad company constructed its tra.cks across it. -: Mr. Wigen is j-sning.l for - what damages' the,* court might" award. >Mr..Wigen was the-first', to' give evidence, and-'if went-to show that, five tons of'goocTqre were'destroyed .and covered up,,aud that a tunnel and 'shaf fcwvera. closed-which' made- it impossible to develop the claim''- *- , M.'S.'Davisf Mr.'Nelson1 and J/Bf Church also gave evidence on behalf of*the~plaintiff.~" When the case; of plaintiff.was-completed the- solici- - tors moved for a non-suit, but- the judge ruled<-against it.- -J. H. Gray, aTcivil engineer of Kaslo, was giving evidence'for the- defendants when court adjourned-at' 4:301 yesterday afternoon. - He stated that the'tun- . nel and shaf t had -been Opened, up' and that the property,was- iu good- . condition for being developed.--- ., -The old story connected with this -trouble - is an' interesting one. -As -the construction of tlie,road approached- the property- Wigen 'warned the men that they should advance no further. He also built [a. fence across his place in order to stop their- advance. - The- road gradually advanced, and as it encroached upon the edge of \the property more exciting events occurred. Wigen had the- engineers ~arrested and they retaliated in a like manner. A special train tdok them all away to be tried before a justice of the peace. - The various cases were dismissed with costs.* Wigen then -tried --for-an-injunction���but-that- failed, and now he is after damages. mimiilr,trrnliiiiilllliilitilirmn|j Y Ladies' Misses' and I Children's Under-muslins Ij | at Unheard of Prices | xxxxxxxnnx ���*____.!__2fe ___2___*~__S_ -__S.r______t ________*_____!* "__2_r_____s ���_______����� ^ ���.______*��� ^k *^�� ^ ��� !��*t to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to TITnTTTT*nHTTTTTTTTTTrTIIIIimiTTT*>fTT�� to to to to to Irvine & Co.

The labor organizations have already assumed such tremendous {proportions and exerted 'such ^ extraordinary - in- fluqncel.;that it^will be.impossible to stay/their" progress and clearsighted men are, already accepting the inevitable-and seeking to devise means to adapt the movement to suit their^own ends.- The/-workers,- however* must be constantly on the alert., and iiot-~ submit to° be hoodwinked but.carefully" discriminate1 between their pretended friends and actual foes. Let us, all then," calmly' and* dispassionately, use our best endeavors^ to secure the blessings and comforts which assuredly await us in the near future., ' ' - ' ON THE EMPEROR'S THRONE.' BY PETER SHONFKLD., ,. Tn'these days, of-^keen--.compete tion', money-making : and1 sensual r* - v, - -i ■", v - indulgence, thoughtful'; peopleVcan", "discern unmistakable signs of a coming regime that will Jbe totallyr different to • all' previously existing institutions. Great revolutions have taken place in many countries with theii'j attendant horrors of rapine and ."bloodshed, but1" in the -near future we shall'find a complete subversion of- the -present^social sjrs- -tem introduced in a quiet ariH'pekce- ful manner. The great majority of the people have in their blind ignorance submitted' to the will and' caprices of their powerful masters.' Now that they have 'acquired.in'- telligence aud havei-been sufficiently - educated to think.foTr themselves-' they are rapidly freeing themselves, from their slavish surroundings.; ,: The grand-aud noble spirit of democracy' has produced ' men .of " worth Who have" proved * conclusively that "blue;blobd" is of'little value unless backed up'by brain's and intelligence.' The great "Labor Movement" is spreading 'slowly; but surely in every civilize-d country, and its influence 'and strength are viewed with the utmost alarm by its opponents. The note of warn-1 i _ ing is.constantly.being sounded in their ears and their uneasiness is plainly visible by their peculiar ahd forcible antagonism. At one time rigorous and -repressive measures are introduced, to be succeeded byaseries of concessions. In the old worM"many~time-honored instil tions that have existed . for. centuries and were supposed to be firmly rooted in , the hearts*- of- the» people have had their, foundations undermined and "have ' been' replaced by others more conformable" to the spirit of progress and liberty that is advancing, with such rapid strides. '. , ■ The.extension of.the franchise and the introduction of the ballotjiave placed a wonderful weapon' in-the hands of the masses'which will assuredly yield' most extraordinary results. The recent Dominion election in Yale-Cariboo is a convincing proof of the power of the workers, when a little more unanimity would have achieved a grand success. The workers of every degree and calling must cordially co-operate and fight the good fight together, ever onrthe watch to meet and conquer the •. insidious proposals and nefarious schetoes that are so continually introduced to thwart the- higher objects of the toilers. The grand old statesman Gladstone in many of his wonderful and eloquent speeches often alluded to the distressing conditions that operated so biCnefully upon the masses and urgently advocated the great need of popular reform, predicting the great changes that must inevitably take place in our social and industrial relations. . His prophetic voice is often now echoed by broad-minded statesmen, even those connected with the highest aristocracy. . They- cannot disguise the fact that the people will no longer consent' to be mere drudges and -' Only one woman in the world has ever sat on "the^ throne of the emperor of China. She is an American girl, Miss Mary Conger1-Pierce of Des Moines. American girls-have become noted for attaining' high positions abroad and making a conquest of princes and dukes. But Miss Pierce has reached the highest position'of all, a seat on the throne reserved for the supreme; ruler/ of the largest and most autocratically ^.governed country, among" all jthe nations of history, ancient, medieval or modern. This enviable position came to. Miss Pierce as the happy climax to the most perilous experiences during" ttie'siege of Pekiu., As; the ward and niece of major Edwin H. Conger, American minister to- China,'- she shared; the privations^ an i terrors that befelluall-the foreigners in the. legation buildings. *7 Ou the 28th day of August, 1900/- the allies, conducted thejiistorical triumphal, march through, 'the em-] peror's" -''Forbidden City:" This step was taken' in ordef-that^tKe most' ^supreme disgrace 'should"' be visited upon the-riiliug^dynastyin China. The "Forbidden City" was sacred ."ground, and" the pressure of a for- ' eign foot upon its sacred flagstone ,wafc,as great an' ignominy as could befall the -government of the Chinese empire. No foreigner had ever before caught a glimpse of tbe mysteries that lay inside the Kou Tou ..gate and'beyond the moat that surrounds the high wall oftheHsu- Ching-Cheng.;-. The allied troops marched through, the Purple palace without a halt. Then the' general officers, their respective staffs, a -handful 'of.othervofficers and & scattering of newspaper correspondents, members of the various diplomatic corps, and t missionaries .walked through" the "Forbidden City" slowly^ enough to view some of its .wonders and magnificence. "~ ,_ YA'fewwomeni among whom was lady Claude Macdonald, wife of the British minister at' Pekin, accompanied the little, party. They passed straight through the palace grounds, along the" Courts of Harmony and Secure Peace, out of the". Kou Ton gate'and over the bridges" across the moat. The gate, was closed behind them, and orders were given that no foreigner should be allowed to 'pass "through it again. It was then thought that no "foreign devil" would ever see the interior of the Forbidden City again. Miss Pierce was not one of the favored party who passed through the; Forbidden City on August 28th, but she is an American girl and did not give up '-hope of seeing the emperor's palace, notwithstanding that orders had been given that no -one should re-enter it. Brigadier-general Wilson" arrived in Pekin too late to take part in the "triumphal march," and on September 22nd he and the American commissioner, Mr. Rankin, decided to visit the Forbidden • City. Learning of their intention," Miss Pierce so arranged matters that' when the paity- started on the morning of September 22nd she was a member of it.*.- No less a personage.than;,the old Chinese comptroller of the Purple Palace, theY emperor's residence, acted as guide for the interested and delighted Americans. They did not leave a nook - or cranny of the curious historic palace unvisited, and they were the first, foreigners to view many part of-the residence of the "Son of Heaven," which tha D. R. Wllkie, General Uanasm, E. Hay, Inspector. - Nelson Branch-Bnrna Blook,' 231 Baker Streot J. M. LAY, ManatCu. visitors on the 28th of August had missed in their tour of observation. The crowning episode off- the day's adventures came when the Ydoor of the throne room was opened by the attendants, at the reluctant-command of the Chinese comptroller. For the first time in history a~.white man's foot was placed on the"marble flagstones that led to the beautiful carved^ gateways and barriers of stepsv and railings which, surmounted with vases of carved jade, guards the !'Sacred Pearl," as ythe seat of the Dragon Throne is called, from contact with. mortals. Miss Pierce glanced,up at tthe roof of gilded woodwork above the throne with an expression of wonder and "enjoyment. < -r "Oh! I wonder if I could sit on the throne of the emperor of China?" she exclaimed.- _. General Wilson -gravely assured her that while such a proceeding on her part would be entirely foreign to precedent; there were no objections to her doing so. So tbe fair American girl ran lightly up the steps and with a charming little laugh of satisfaction sat right down in the place which had never been occupied by anyone save an emperor of the Flowery Kingdom, and will, in all-probability, neyer again be occupied by anyone outside the royal family in China for _ all. time to come. The Chinese attendant, the imperial- comptroller, horrified at the sacrilege, fell-forward on his face as if suddenly stricken dead.. It is an' honor that" not even the crafty and, powerful empress-- dowager of China can ever hope to' attain. There were many other^ interesting things .which Miss "Pierce enjoyed.on that day when she was queen. " - - ^„ Skagway Getting Up-to-Date. "- "- ^Skagwayiis'to have'a rstreet car system. M. L.

He has listed his watches at eastern prices. - The Crow's Nest Pass steamer, due to arrive here from Kootenay J ��� Landing at 4:30 last, evening, was over nine hours late. The delay was caused by a heavy, land slide which occurred on the line near the piss. H. Goldie, who has been assistant accountant at the Bank of Montreal, left last evening for Rossland. Mr. Brown, managor of the Rossland branch, will arrive in the 'city' today or tomorrow to take charge of the local branch as manager. A. H. Buchanan'is about to leave for a three months' trip to the east. - Only one game of curling was played at the rink last evening, it .being -between the rinks skipped by Messrs.' Mackenzie and Irvine. The latter won by, a score of 23 points to 4. As the~season is drawing to a close the club will hold an individual point tournament.', One sheet will be exclusively "reserved ~ for this.

R. four steamers which were to have been used on the Stikeen river. The machinery of these will be moved to the pass where the construction of new hulls is now under way. When the traffic is opened in the spring the route will be from Vancouver to Skagway and.from there to the pass by rail^and on to St. Michael by, boat.,. This interior route is much safev .than that of the ocean and the trip can be made as quick. FROM THE ALAMO DISTRICT Some Valuable Properties. Cx. W. Hughes of Alamo, who is largely interested in mining properties of that section, arrived in the city yesterday. The properties tliat he is .'interested in. are the Idaho, Trade Dollar, Sunset of Jackson Basin' and Utica groups. These properties and others of that district are snowing up well as. far as development work is concerned, but the smelter trouble, which is causing no small alarm, has had its bad effect on the country already. The shipments which fised to be comparatively good are now small and in some cases no ore is being shipped at all. In many instances the different'companies have, been forced to store their ore and'now have ajarge quantity on hand. /The staffs' at\a number of the ..mines haveYbeen reduced and work" is progressing slowly^ Mr. Hughes'"went on to'say that ''if - the trouble was not soon settled tlie result would be that a niinlber of mines would be dlosed down.y* The 'Trade 'Dollar and Sunset groups, which*"are situated in the Jackson'basin in the Three Foiks section, are ftow looking exceedingly well. They are situated on the same .vein, _. but on opposite slopes.._ Eight men are engaged at the^Suiiset and twelve at' the other mine. The development consists of tunneling, shafting and upraising. There are^ two veins-on the property and they average from three to six feet in width. Several ship: ruent's have1 been .made from these' properties and the returns obtained were good. >.���/; > - The Idaho is situated some distance from these, and it 'is also a promising property. Extensive development has-been done on it "and operations will be continued during the winter Vith a force of 20 men. The work consists of - upraises and' tunnel's. Although no, new strikes have been, meide,,some new bod es^ of goad^/orgjiaye.. been uncovered and therein ^promises to be/as rich as depttfjs obtained.;.-_..., -. ���- ->- The 'Utica-fclaimr situated,, ac the" head-;,of ,Twelve-mile creek,.on the divide bet^eW;tlie south forks . of the Kaslo.^ afja .Carpenter.- creeks, proves',asf riches the.-other claims.

By the bylaw election held yesterday the ratepayers -of -Nelson acquiesced���in���the--action-of���the council.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-02-20 |
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. |
