South African War to Sate Has Cost Britain Double That of the Crimean Campaign. London, April;. 18;��� The chancellor of the exchequer, sir Michael Hicks-Beach rose in the house today ��� at*'."4:10 p. iri., amidst rounds of cheers, aud commenced his budget statement. His opening sentence was not promising : "During the last five years," said the chancellor of the exchequer, "we have been invariably able to congratulate the house on a general increase in the prosperity of the 'country, but the year 1900, especially the last six months, shows symptoms of a change. Our foreign trade during the year considerably increased, but in Values rather than in volume. This has been mainly derived from the high price of certain articles, notably coal, from which the receipts showed a surplus of ��2,077,0U0 over last year. But for this his estimates would not have:been realized. Sir Michael . Hicks-Beach, in reviewing the .various items of. ' revenue,' - mentipned ,. that " tlie'Vfevemie " from "' beer'" "was" �����10,000,000 io&s than the estimate. -."That decrease," said the chancellor of the exchequer, "is probably attributable to the fact that very many beer drinkers' are in South Africa, and also to the ' decrease in the spending power of the people, owing to the price of coal. Experience, however, has shown that we have practically reached* the limit iu tlie profitable taxation of spirits.", The receipts from the death duties were ��1,500,000 below those of the preceding year, but he had expectations for next year. The prolongation of the war and the absence of ^business ou the stock exchange were responsible for the unsatisfactory yield from stamps.: In noting that the yield ���from the income tax was ��1,150,000 abovethe estimate, the chancellor -remarkedjthat iuAvyelye^years_the. income on which taxation had been paid had been increased by not less than ��120,000,000, a fact that he hoped the house would remember -when* he reached a latter portion of his speech. , . - The deficit of the past year, ��53,- 207,000, showed that the government had paid ��15,413,000 out of the current revenue for the cost of the South African war. The total amount provided by the state last year aggregated the enormous sum ���of ��19S,310,000. "As to the national debt," said the chancellor, "it stands in painful contrast with last year. But the funded debt had decreased by ��1,425,000. On April 1st the national debt stood at ��t5>870;0:00,000, au increase of ��55,- 000,000 7 oii account of the war." Turning to the present year, the chancellor said that the total estimated expenditure was ��187,600,- 000. On the existing \ basis it was estimated the revenue would be ��51,876,050, leaving a deficit, of about ��55,000,- 000. "How is the deficit to be met?" asked sir Michael. "I will never be responsible for the fatal policy of -paying the whole cost of the war out of loans without putting a reasonable amount on the taxpayers of the day. The real difficulty, however, is not so much the cost of the war in South Africa, as the operations in China, as they will increase our ordinary expenditure, even if the war comes to an end within three or four months (This statement caused cheering from the Irish members), or sooner than the honorable members suppose. ' "Our ordinary expenditure will not permit of additional taxes at present. It therefore becomes necessary to put our expenditure on a broader bosis. The house haa reached a point when it is necessary to widen the scope of taxation, but direct taxpayers must bear their share of the burden. I propose that two pence shall be added to the income tax, making one shilling and two pence on. the pound. The extra two pence will realize ��3,800,000. There will be no addition to the wine, beer, spirits or tobacco duties. I am not disposed to impose a customs duty on manufactured imported goods,' as suggested by sir Howard Vincent. The average consumption of sugar is 56 pounds per head. Sugar ��� is taxed every other community in j/>tnd is taxed in the United Stg^aij^In this country taxes re- mailjVJfon sugar long after the institution of free trade. The effect of my proposals upon" the price of sugar is doubtful, as the price of sugar is governed by the bounty system. The great bulk of imports of sugar comes from bounty-giving countries. The bounty system is that a country gives a bounty on the average production of sugar within its borders, and at the same time does its best t to restrict competition' by its' own people by every possible means. The result is that there is ah enormous surplus which has -to ��� find a foreign market, and ��� this country, under the present'eircumstances, is the only, market, therefore * it is quite conservative,"unless, of course, the bounty-giving countries reduce the area of their sugar products, or lower their own duties on sugar for the benefit of their own people, both of which actions would mean the abolition of the bounty system, that the result of the tax, although at first the price, might rise and, consumption consequently be reduced, would be that there would be such an inflow into the country of bounty fed sugar, unable to go elsewhere, that the price might be brought down. Again, I. do'not believe the duty will injure persons ���using sugar to anything like the extent feared. Of course provision Would be.���_macl<t, -fpr_-imposing- ,a, duty oh manufactured articles from" foreign countries coming.in competition with the home article. I have endeavored tb reconcile the conflicting interests. Nothing must be done to protect the British refiner to the disadvantage of the British consumer. On the other hand fair play must be given to the British refiner as compared with his continental trade. I propose a duty on refined sugar of four shillings : and two pence a hundred weight. A half penny per pound would be four shillings and eight pence, so a margin of six pence is left to cover the customs, etc. "There is therefore no reason why a tax of four shillings and two pence should increase the present price more than a half penny per pound." The graduated scale of taxation would be as follows: refined jiUgar,=w;hich=is=polarized=at^98^and= upwards, and which represents two- thirds of.the total imports, would pay the full tax: This will diminish to a minimum of two shillings per hundred weight on raw sugar polarized at 76. This scale is only tentative, and I am perfectly willing to listen to'criticism and the benefit of experience and better knowledge. Molasses, in which are included the grocery syrups, consumed very largely by the* poor, pay two shillings per hundredweight, and glucose, of which a great deal has been heard lately, and is used in the manufacture of jams and aerated waters, will have to bear a tax of one shilling and eight pence. I anticipate a yield of ��5,100,000 from this tax. The "West Indies will not be exempt. "My next proposal is a novel one, unknown in this country for forty- five years.. It is anv export duty of a shilling a ton on coal. In aiming to secure a revenue from coal 1 am not. sacrificing traded The imposition of a shilling, which is infinitely less ��� than the fluctuations in price, will do no injury to. the trade, even supposing the export of coal is checked. I am not sure that even that result will be an evil. From this source I expect ��2,100,00, making an aggregate ' of. ��15,000,000 from new taxation. My final balance will, be from taxation, a revenue of ��122,200,000, from non- taxation'��21,055,000, a total of . ��143,255,000 pounds. I propose to reduce the expenditure, by again suspending the sinking fund, to ��182,902,000. This shows a deficit of ��39,707,000 to which must be added ��1,259,000 for the fresh debt I have to borrow. I must ask the house to give me borrowing powers considerably niu excess of this deficit of ��41,000,000. In order to finance the exchequer I ask to borrow ��60,000,000 by means of consols. For obtaining contributions from the Transvaal, sir David Barbour's reports are not encouraging at present. I think the house will see that the war has brought the- country to the verge of ruin (Opposition cheers greeted this remark). This cannot longer be considered. The small war has cost ��151,000,000, double the cost of the Crimean war. There was ��67,000,000 of the unfunded debt redeemable within the next ten years. I-have tried to put before the house a true accouut of the finances at the present time and immediate future. I have not laid proposals before the house with ' a view of getting transient popularity, but I have endeavored to establish a principle of contribution by the whole community to the burdens of the state." Sir Michael Hicks-Beach concluded at 6.40 p. m. amidst loud applause, having spoken two hours and twenty-six minutes. Sir William Vernon Harcourt complimented the chancellor of the exchequer on the adility he had shown, declaring that his speech was characteristed by honesty and equality, which was very much lacking in the conduct of the war in telling the house the whole truth in regard to the position. The budget,continued sirWilliam, was but a chapter in the disastrous accidents of the war. It was proposed to borrow altogether ��127,- 000,000 more, four times as much as was borrowed1 for the Crimean war. "We are living in an age of newspaper finance," said sir William, "and of increased expenditures. ��� We cannot goon without involving ��� this country in financial ruin. Does anybody believe that this increase of expenditures is not to go on?"; Sir William agreed that England'was not as strong" now as she was at the close of the French war, , and declared in conclusion that it was the most disastrous statement -that the exchequer had made. .,_.- Afierthe jpeech^���the.cb.ancellor.. of the exchequer'in the house o'f- commons, John Redmond, the Nationalist leader, asked what interest Ireland had in the war, and such au extraordinary disastrous and disgraceful financial situation. He protested against fresh taxation, which he said imposed great injustice upon Ireland that already, as admitted by the government commission in 1893, was greatly overtaxed. He severelyt attacked Joseph Chamberlain on the war policy.' Replying to criticisms, sir Michael Hicks-Beach said there were valuable assets in the Transvaal, but that it was impossible to say wha,t^ the contribution for war in the* present state of that country would be. Mr. Balfour said it was necessary to pass the resolutions, whereupon .the^hOuse^divided^on^the^s'ugar- duty, which was adopted by a vote of 183 to 125. The coal duty was adopted by a vote of 171 to 127. On the resolution to authorize the war loans being put before the house, John Redmond moved to report progress. Sir Michael Hicks- Beach assented, and the house then adjourned. Milling Records, ��� The following a^re the mining transactions recorded yesterday: Certificates of work on the Mars, Independence, Venus, Flyiug Dutchman and Phoebus, all on Hall creek, to W. H. Hutcheson ; transfer of the Noonday, ��� on Hall creek, from Michael Egan to Robert Corlett, and King of the West and Iron King from same to John Long and Peter Battiste. The former claim is on Hall creek and the latter on Bird creek. Certificates of improvements were granted on.the.Mascot, and Pilot Kuob. "John Riley re-; corded two new locations on Beaver creek, one mile from Sayward���the Gem and the Beacon King. An Arrangement Arrived at. A private telegram was received in Nelson yesterday from H. E. Croasdaile, one of the Nelson delegates now at Ottawa, in which it is stated that at a meeting of the railway committee of the house of commons yesterday,,/f;he minister of railways announced that satisfactory arrangements had been arrived at between the government and the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company respecting the safeguarding of the fuel supply of Canadian smelters in connection with the Crow's Nest Southern railway charter, y GOVERNMENT STANDS PAT WILL NOT BE HELD UP BY THE \ HILL OUTFIT. Legislature Will Probably Give Cities , th�� Power' to Abolish the Ward System. Victoria; "April 18.���[Special to The Tribune.]���It is not likely that the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern railway scheme will get any assistance from .the provincial government at this session, and the Coast to Kootenay railway outfit are,a trifle disgruntled today and the spellbinders- have all* been paid' off. The Crow's Neist Southern Railway bill will be ainended on- the same lines, as it has been in the railway committee at-Ottawa, or perhaps in a still more stringent way. ' Martin's champerty bill was discussed in'committee today, --and _it will undoubtedly become law. Houston,-of.'Nelson, will make an effort to secure a subsidy for a railway from'Fort Nelson to Golden. - - The municipal committee will report several > amendments to -the Municipal Clauses Act, one of-them giving city ' councils power to abolish wards. Union Label Bill Thrown-Out. Ottawa, Abril' 18.���[Special to The Tribune'.]���At a meeting of the banking and commerce committee in the senate; today, senator Tem- pleman's trades union label bill was thrown out - almost unanimously. Letters were read -from the unions threatening to boycott the McDonald tobacco.'factory in Montreal, which had a' decided effect against the bill. , ��� - '.. . " BOAT CLUB'S NEW OFFICERS '. Will Affiliate -WiUrthe'-N? P.-A. 0. ��� / A well attended meeting qf the Nelson, Boat Club-was held last night to arrange for the., season's work, and from the - program outlined it is evident that aquatic sports will receive the' "attention they deserve this year. It is five years ago since the club was started, and it is pleasing to know that it has grown in strength and popularity, and that the oarsmen are determined'to avail themselves of the exceptional facilities which Nelson offers for such recreation. The election of officers resulted as follows: A. H. Buchanan, president; captain Gore, vice-president; J. W. Ford, secretary-treasurer; E. W. Matthews, captain, and C. B. ^Winterpvice captainr^MessrsrWet^ more, Bevan and Thompson were re-elected on the committee, and Playford and Wragge added as new members. ,. The report and accounts of the outgoing committee were" read and adopted. They showed the club finances to be in a healthy condition. The secretary was directed to write to alderman Selous expressing the regret of the club at his retirement as an officer, and hoping that he would not sever his connection with the organization. A suggestion that the club should join the North Pacific Amateur Oarsmen was discussed at length and resulted in a decision -favoring the move. Affiliation with the amateur oarsmen is calculated to promote interest in aquatics and to bring out the best men in the club to represent Nelson at the regattas annually held on otJ^>r.rf.waters. It was also decided .thai;'-,two new lap- streaks be purchased, whicli will give greater facilities for practice. The question of finances was considered and a decision arrived at that a subscription list be opened and the public invited to contribute towards the fund of the club. The committee were instructed to make the necessary arrangements for the boathouse and to have' the float repaired. The question of entrance fee was, discussed and the majority uf the members decided that this should be abolished, but that the subscription, remain as heretofore, at $5 per annum. A special committee consisting of Johnson, Wragge and the secretary were appointed to draft rules and bylaws and submit the same to the next meeting, to ' be ��� held neit month. ��� It is expected that the Vancouver, Victoria and Winnipeg clubs will be represented at the" annual regatta to be held iri July. No Pound for Wanderers. The fact that the report of the board of work's was laid over for a month by. the: city council leaves Nelson without a pound. There was a suggestion in the report that a few, stalls be erected east of the recreation grounds in which wandering animals and unlicensed dogs might be impounded, but in the absence of such accommodation the poundkeeper is practically, powerless.' He cannot collect the dog tax, as owners will not pay up while ownerless canines are allowed to roam at large "without collars or tags. Horses, cattle, etc., enjoy carte blanche in Nelson just now to the annoyance of the .public, and they will continue to do so as long as there is no pound. . ' - Collecting the Road Tax. A few weeks ago Charles Waterman was appointed road tax collector by the city' council, but tbe date at which he should - start out on his duties was left to mayor Fletcher to decide. His worship has not given instructions on the point .yet, and now suggests" that the collection be done by the police" and other city officials. This course will probably be adopted on the grounds of economy. ; A goodly number of those who will be called upon to pay the tax are from time to time in the city employ, and the amount-can be deducted from their earnings, while it is thought the police will be in a better position to see that all newcomers pay. To Be Buried at Egansville. ' Ther remains. of the , late ' H. H. Reeves were yesterday brought -to town from, New-- Denver 'over- the ���C.P.R.

Obliged to Move On. ��� Yesterday the contractor excavating the post office basement got as far as the city weighmaster's shack aud would havo scooped it out had it not been removed in time to avoid trouble. A couple of horses were brought into requisition and the caboose shifted some 20 feet east, where it will" be safe for the next few days. If the scales are" not removed they will be covered up and rendered useless during the process of excavation. Work at the Silver Hill Mine. George Roy, superintendent of the Silver Hill mine, near Crawford Bay, was in town yesterday with some beautiful samples of ore taken from a ledge recently encountered on the property. Roy has a gang of men engaged in development work, and says the Silver Hill is looking better than ever. If the assayer's report on the recent find proves satisfactory a largo force will probably be put on forthwith. Bicycle Riding on Sidewalks. Bicyclists would do well'to. remember that the sidewalks of tho city are not intended for their wheels, but for pedestrians, and that the police have instructions to keep the walks clear. It is not sufficient to ring the bell when approaching a person on a sidewalk��� a citizen has a right to be "there, a mounted bicyclist has not. In the outlying districts this habit is indulged in too frequently. Quoits a Popular Game. In addition to the Nelson Quoit Club a number of similar organizations have been formed in the city, and in every district may be seen devotees of the game throwing horseshoes when quoits are not available. Arrangements are being made by the boarders of a couple of the uptown hotels to play a match game, which is to come off uext week. W. T. Beadles Dead. At about 1 o'clock this morning W. T. Beadles, postmaster at Salmo, died at the general hospital. Deceased was admitted to the institution on the 7th instant, suffering from pneumonia. He was married in Nelson in July last, and the day befofe he went under medical treatment his wife presented him with a first-born. W. B. Campbell of Spokane and C. Willis of Salmo came to Nelson to see their ailing:friend, but so low was his condition that they would not .be allowed the privilege. The deceased had a general store at Erie and another at Salmo and was well known in Nelson. . More Chinese Superstition. Washington, April 18.���The secretary of state received a cable message this morning from Mr. Squires, United States charge d'affaires, dated at Pekin, on the 18th, saying that the winter palace occupied by von Waldersee was accidentally destroyed by fire, and that general Schawartzhoff, his chief of staff was fatally burned. This incident' may prove more serious than appears on the surface. From the Chinese standpoint it was" impossible to " consider the return of the imperial family so long as the1 commander-in-chief of the allied forces was in actual occupation of the imperial palace but a new objection is created in the removal of the palace" itself. Under Chinese usage the imperial family must occupy these exclusive quarters reserved for them within the prohibited precincts. Comment on the Budget. ." \ London, April 19.���On the whole 'the statement of sir Michael Hicks- Beach appears to have been fairly .well received, and the chancellor of -theexchequer is congratulated upon a just distribution of burdensome .debt.' There is little doubt .that in raising new taxes instead of increasing old ones, sir Michael ' has courageouslycourted much hostility "and, given v" the ' Liberals an opportunity toTclose their ranks and attack the'" government"- on its. financial policy;. "Many, ministerialists are^ dissatisfied 'because tlie government has1 failed to grant differential treatment to/.their interests, in .the sugar tax. The coal duty,'" however'^, seems(^digitiwed^tO" excite tlie keenest opposition. It has created consternation in Wales and the north of England. North country exporters to the continent assert-that the duty will almost prevent competition abroad witli Westphaliari coal. In Wales it is urged that the duty will injure the miners and materially assist the United States and Germany. One Liberal 'has figured out that the war has cost ��1000 for every Boer killed.

That the commercial interests of the Dominion are frequently not very widely separated from the - s jlfish interests of Canada's greatest monopoly, is demonstrated by the fight which the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is now making at Vancouver for its fair proportion of the business offering from the Canadian Yukon. Ever since the Klondyke was discovered the Canadian cities on the Coast were robbed of what should have been their legitimate trade by reason of the discriminations practiced by the United States bottoms in favor of % Seattle and other American ports; and -Canadian trade stag- - nated because there were no Canadian' transportation interests strong enough to make war upon the American buccaneers. Matters remained in this unsatisfactory state until the Canadian Pacific Railway Company acquired the old Canadian Pacific Navigation Company of Victoria, when it threw down the gauntlet to its American rivals. The C. P. R; now demands a fair share ��� of the southbound business of the Canadian Yukon and proposes to get it. It demands -that American bottoms trading between Vancouver and the north shall call at Vancouver when southbound before touching at any of the Sound ports, and it gives them the alternative of calling or keeping out altogether in order to avoid a rate war. This is done to secure business for the Canadian road, but incidentally it will do more to conserve the trade of the Canadian Yukon for Canadian cities than any -others-move-that-could_be_made.- Heretofore returning Klondykers were carried past Canadian ports against their will, and in a measure forced to patronize United States merchants and United States transportation companies when they would prefer doing business with their own people. Now that coercion is met with coercion Canadian interests will probably get a fair deal. Hill, having decided to build the Republic-Greenwood line without a charter, does not follow the same course with respect to the Crow's Nest Southern road he is so anxious to build. - UNITED STATES HAPPENINGS SAN FRANCISCO, 18.���The transport Rosecranz has arrived from Manila with a portion of the 35th regiment.

Suit Over Slocan Boy Stock. W. D. Wrighter has entered suit in Spokane against the American Boy Mining Company, in which he asks for $1195 to pay for 5500 shares of stock claimed to be due him and $500 which he says the company owes him, Wrighter claims that in June, 1900,' he entered - into au agreement with the American Boy Miniugand Milling Company whereby it was agreed that Wrighter should take nn option of 250,000 shares of the stock of the company, which he was - to float in the east- for not less than five cents per share. A further clause in the agreement, Wrighter says, was to the effect that he should receive 10,000 shares free and $500 - if he should sell the stock within a certain limited time.

Mackenzie aud Mann and James J. Hill contemplate upon " the provincial treasury, The World's latest story is that James J. Hill has signed a contract for the construction of a line of railway from the Republic mining camp, in the state of Washington, to the city of Greenwood, in British Columbia, and unless the provincial government pays over the subsidy of one or two million dollars which Mr. Hill and his associates demand, they will not continue the Republic-Greenwood line to Vancouver. This story shows the somewhat remarkable Mr. Hill in a new light, _in that it is assumed he has power to build railways into and through Canada without even the formality of a provincial or federal charter. In j ustice to its readers the Vancou- yer World should explain why Mr. New York, April 18.���The Herald quotes the duke of Newcastle, who is staying in this city, and is regarded as one of the leaders of the ritualists' movement in England, as denouncing the scene which prevailed at the installation of the bishop of London, in which John Kinset figured prominently. "I think it is typical of the Anglo- Saxon for the minority to attempt to overthrow the majority by lawlessness." His grace is quoted as saying: "John Kensit declared several months ago that he would break up the installation of the lord bishop of London. John Kensit is like your Mrs. Carrie Nation of Kansas. Neither one is truly representative of any class, creed, or political principle. Like Carrie Nation, John Kensit is a free lance, doing injury to the cause that he extols." Americans Well Eeceived.

Pittsburg, April 18.���The strike situation at McKeesport today was quiet pending the decision of the national advisory board of the. Amalgamated* Association, which was expected to decide today ���whether or not there should be.a general strike. The national advisory board got together again this morning about 10 o'clock, with _12 of the 15 members present,.together with the vice-presidents of the organization. Afc 1,1 o'clock there was a rumor about "the Amalgamated headquarters that there were some indications, of an amicable settlement of tlie difficulty, and that it was now possible tliat a general suspension of the union plants of . the sheet combine could be avoided. The members of the board, however, were positive in their assertions tliat there would be no settlement of the trouble unless all discharged men at tlie McKeesport works were reinstated. This, ib was said, was the ultimatum of the association. ��� President Shaffer said no hasty action would be taken by the board. A decision was not expected until late this afternoon. Pittsburg, April. 18.���A settlement of the impending great strike of sheet mill workers, arising out of the trouble at the W. Dewes "Wood plant at McKeesport, is practically on today, and how requires, only a settlement of minor details to end =the-uncertainty=thafc-has;character-= ized the last few days in industrial circles. This is expected to be accomplished before nightfall. The plan of settlement is that- all the nien,t.with'- the exception of George Holloway, be, reinstated at once. Hoi lo way '.s case will be taken up later, and while his reinstatement Anally is assured, he will be sits- pended,fdr.a period as a matter of discipline. The reason for the exception in the case of Holloway is rumored to be that a personal diffi-'- culty between him and superintendent Persefor'A. Smith, has put a new feature on his discharge. Bloodshed in Kentucky Strike. . Madison ville, Kentucky, April ���18.���The -miners' strike situation here has become alarming, and it is feared it may be necessary to call out the'troops.

The companies composing the steel combine have been paying $200,000 annually in pensions to men who are wholly or partially disabled by accidents. The average sum received by each man is $250 a year, or $2500 in ten" years! Most of these pensioners are compelled to live in idleness, and when they die. the pension' stops "and- the families are left in want and without homes. Now general ...Booth Tucker comes forward ; and proposes" to the trust that the Salvation Army shall care. for. -the ,^aged�� and injured employees of the big corporation,. giving each family a chance to own a comfortable home and'ten acres of land-on one of the home* colonies maintained by the Salvation Army- in the western states. The object of the plan is to furnish a method by which' tihese crippled persons may still do some work and .secure permanent homes for their families. Commander Tucker asks the trusts for $500 for each-family-of-pensioners on receipt of which the army will take charge of the families; locate them in the colonies and give -them- such help and care as they need. The ' plan and details have been so very carefully worked out that they have attracted the serious attention, of presidept Schwab and Mr. Morgan. The money is not to be given, but HEAD OFFICE.

Among tlie arrivals at the Hume last night was W. A. Preston, manager of the Olive mine. The Olive mine is in New Ontario, and in what is known as Mine Centre, on Rainy lake. Mr. Preston says the district is exceptionally rich in free milling ores, and that up to date: nothing has been found there but gold and iron, but there is reason to believe that some nickel deposits will be uncovered. The ore, as a rule, lies in immense bodies and is low grade, but many exceptionally rich leads have been located. The district is an immense one, and is. not prospected to any extent, and being somewhat isolated and difficult of approach, its progress will be slow. There is little machinery in at present, but a good deal of satisfactory work lias been done on the Olive. The climate will never make the place a health resort, as the fall is wet and the winter long and severe���40 degrees below zero not being uncommon. New Ontario, which is now attracting a good deal of attention in the east, is an immense tract of fertile land in the valley of the Rainy river, between Fort Francis and the Lake of the Woods. Hundreds of families are going in this year and. the district is fast filling up. The agricultural lands are very rich, and the place gives promise of a great future. Great belts of good timber are scattered throughout New Ontario and the water power is unlimited. "But," says Mr. Preston, "the man who called it Rainy river knew what he was doing. The raiufall is very heavy, but when the summer opens up anything will grow there. It will be a rich and populous country in the near fixture. Tlie Rainy lake drains the Rainy river and a number of smaller streams empty into it. We are in the lake district, which is a rocky country of early volcanic formation in whicli gold is found from one end to the other. In the winter months miners can only work underground, so severe is the frost. I have never experienced such thunder storms as prevail there. When we get machinery in the wealth of the place will astonish the world."

Major-general Schwartzhof, count Waldersee's chief of staff, appears to have lost his life by returning to- the burning building after having escaped from it. The foreign office has no further details of the fire, lias no theory as to its origin, and is awaiting further information on the subject. Prince Herbert Bismarck has made a speech at Berg today in which he criticized emperor William's zig-zag course, quoting the elder Bismarck's words : "The way of destruction for the government is to do first this and then that, aud promise today what it does not do tomorrow." Prince Herbert praised count Von Buelow as the most capable German diplomatist, and recognized VonBuelow's interest iu agriculture, but demanded that he follow up this with the assistance needed, which was an agricultural tariff. ~ PERSONAL.

Rossland, April 18.���The last boring made by the diamond drill on the Green Mountain shows that it has one.of. the; largest ledges in the Trail Creek district. Recently the diamond drill was started from the surface, boring at an angle of 45 degrees. When the drill had penetrated 200 feet a ledge. was enr countered. Ore was bored through for 35 feet, and then a porphyry Avail was met. The porphyry lasted for three feet, and next came 80 feet more of ore. Beyond this what appears to be an ancient river bed was met. This shows that the ledge is practically 115 feet wide, making it the widest ore body so far found in the camp.' The LeRoi has one ore body, being stpped from wall to wall, which is 105 feet wide. The" ore in the Green mountain find carries molybdenite, gold and copper.' It is identical with the ore found in the Giant and the management think that the ledge is an extension of the one found in the Giant. The borings run from $8 to $10 to the ton. Doubtless rich ore chutes will be encountered when the ledge is drifted on. The ore can be readily concentrated, and the find, may be regarded as the most .important that has been made.in <the camp for several months. The manage-; ment is arranging to open the ledge by means of shafts and drifts. P. McL.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-19 |
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. |
