C, THURSDA.Y, JULY 4, 1901 FIVE CENTS STATISTICS A LITTLE ACED APPEAR AT LAST IN AN OFFICIAL RECORD OF AN INDUSTRY '>>ir That Is Making British Columbia One of the Most Frosperous Sections of Canada. ***?!��� . m :v L4** |v)>' r .. Pr The annual report of the minister of mines for the year ending December ' 31st, 1900, is to hand. There is little that is new or original in the report, for it is the work of Willian Fleet Robertson, provincial mineralogist. There aro a number of tables of statistics that are of no great interest and a number of illustrations that have nothing to do with mining as an industry. The sta- ��� tistics from the different mining divi- '"sions show that there is either n good deal*��of prospecting being done or a good \leal of relocating. It is noteworthy in connection with these statistics that Nelson stands at the head of the list in the volume of business transacted under all live of the main heads. The total number of mineral claims recorded in East and West Kootenay for the year was 3912 and the assessments reco*. Jed were 5312, which means that over- half a mollion dollars were expended in doing* assessment work. Certificates of improvements wove issued for 49G claims. Assuming that the new claims recorded during tho year average 40 acres each, 156,-ISO acres of crown lands wore staked and 19,8*10 acres surveyed for ciown grants. The number ot bills of sale recorded indicates that there was considerable trading done in buying and selling, the total records being 2525. The number of free miners', certificates - issued indicate the number of people interested in mining as owners of ground. The total being 71ES. There arc but two reports of the ���Operations of mining companies incorporated in the report, and they aro, by far; the most interesting statistic** in the volume of 300 pages.' Both companies aro in Nelson mining division. One j** the Ymir Mines, Limited; fhe other, the Athabasca Gold Mine, Limited. .Evory detail of "the cost of mining and treating the output of their mines is given.

Tlie following advices were received from Yokohama by the China: Field Marshal count von Waldersee's visit to Japan was eminently successful. He was accompanied by a suite of several olficers and spent more than a week iu the country. He had two audiences with his majesty, the emperor, and her majesty, the empress, and-was made the recipient of handsome' gifts by the former. He also paid Yokohama a visit, and attended a reception at the German Club, and inspected the United Club's fine new Quarters on the Bund. 'After a trip to Nankow ho returned to Tokio and thence embarked by the German warship Bertha for Nagasaki. The German minister, count von Arco Valley, accompanied him as far as the southern poit. During tho field marshal's stay in the capital the Shiba detached palace was placed at his disposal. <* Desperate Colorado Miners. DENVER, July 3.���News reached here late this ovening of an outbreak of striking miners of the Smuggler mine, at Telluride in the extreme southwestern part of the state. The information was to the effect that the whole place' had been blown up with dynamite and 15 mon had been killed outright. Thc- wircs leading to Telluride have been cut by the_ mincis. The new** of the riot came trom Ouray, Colorado, across the mountains from Telluride, and was telephoned into Ouray from Camp Bird mine, which "is between Grey, and Telluride. The Camp Bird is the property of Thomas Walsh, a resident of Washington. .It is said that miners from Lib- rcrty Bell and* Camp Bird mines have joined with the Smuggler strikers and H00 men now surround the Smuggle; mine. Tho dispatch from Ouray statef that the fighting was still going on when the dispatch was sent. The strike in the Smuggler mine has been on foi some timo and only recently an arbitration committee, appointed at Telluride to try to effect a settlement of the differences between the miners and the owners of tho property.

MONTREAL, July 3.���The inquiry into the alleged paper makers' combine reopened this morning before judge Taschereau, the paper makers-being on the "stand all day. The principal witnesses were John R. Barber of Georgetown, Ont, and John MacFarlane of the Canada Paper Company, Montreal. The trend was to show that the company was in no way responsible for the advance in prices, which was due, as in the case of nearly evory other commodity, to an increase in prices of raw materials. WINNIPEG, July 3.���Writing in the Free Press of this morning a railroad union man gives the reasons why the labor unions and the public at large of Ontario and Quebec do not sympathize with the trackmen's strike, but on the contrary regard it as ill advised and absurd. The main reason, he says, is that .the C. P. R. pays higher wages in the province of Quebec than either the Grand Trunk or the government railway system, whilst in Ontario wages are also higher than those paid by the Grand Trunk. Nevertheless, while the trackmen have struck for still higher wages on the C." P. R., the members of the association on the Grand Trunk and International remain at work under a lower scale, thus leading the- public to believe that they are satisfied to work on these two roads for less than is paid by the C. P. R., and giving currency to the impression that, in ordering a strike on the C. P. R. Mr. Wilson was actuated by some motive other than a desire to better the condition of the members of the order. The writer goes on to say: "Here in the west conditions are somewhat similar. There are now two systems in Manitoba���the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern, with whicli the Northern Pacific and Manitoba has been incorporated. ' It is well known to all that the .Canadian Pacific pays its_ trackmen higher wages than the Canadian Northern and as a matter of fact it pays higher wages than the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, just south of the line; nay, it pays higher than most of the .roads .running into St. Louis, where Mr. Wilson resides.- This being the case, the public, including the great body of" men belonging to other organizations, cannot understand why this strike should have been ordered on the C. P. R., whilst the trackmen on roads operating in similar territories, north and south of the line, which pay a lower rate of wages, should' remain at work. The better course, the only logical course, would have been~to' compel'the roads paying the lower wages to level up to the C. P. R. scale and then, if need be, to strike on all in order to * secure a still higher rate from all. I have the best ,of reasons for knowing that the reports lately printed to the effect that the C. P.' R. was willing to arbitrate are absolutely without foundation. Arbitration would have to be canied on by the labor bureau at Ottawa, a department of the Dominion government. But with what face could the government officer ask the C. P. R. to'put up its wages another notch, when it has all along been paying higher wages than the government's own railway. How, indeed, could they ask the company to make a further increase, while Mr. Wilson is tacitly admitting that he and his fellow members of the Trackmen's Association are content to work for a lower rate on the Canadian Northern and on the great majority of American and Canadian roads. Can it -ever-come-to-arbitration-to-let_it_pay_ as low a rate as these other lines in Canada and the United States. Mr. Shaughnessy would not, of course, resort to such a step as that. He feels that the C. P. R. is paying all that, under the circumstances, it should be asked to pay, and is profundly sorry for the men that they should have followed 'M'.\ Wilson in his ill-advised course. -As I said there will be no arbitration. Public oi-inion-Js with the company, and that being the case the company is sure to, win. It would be better for all concerned for the track* men in the province of Manitoba and the northwest territories to ask Mr. Wilson to call the strike off, and not order a fresh one until, as a preliminary step, ho has forced other lines in Canada and tho United States to" come up to the C. P. R. scale." TORONTO, July 3.���Nearly all the striking trackmen in Ontario west of Toronto have returned to work. The men vainly expected that some of the other orders of railroad workers would have gone out in sympathy ere this. The company has so patroled its lines and made repairs to track with flying gangs that it is now apparent to the men that so slight had the operation of the road been affected or is likely to be for many months through the strike that "they have resolved not to risk their jobs any longer. ST. JOHNS. July 3.���The striking trackmen are returning to work, being utterly disgusted with the inaction of the Montreal committee and apprehensive that Wilson is only holding it together for his own glorification. MONTREAL, July 3. ��� President Shaughnessy of the C. P. R. in an interview tonight emphatically denied the intimation of an evening paper that his mission to Ottawa today .had anything whatever to do with the dispute between the trackmen and the company. When he saw the strikers some three weegs ago and delivered his message to the men, Mr. Shaughnessy says his personal connection with the affair completely ceased, it having been placed entirely in the hands of the general manager of the company. WHITE RIVER, Ont, July 3.���Striking trackmen here are endeavoring to molest and interfere with trackmen sent to take their places. The company has ���made several arrests. The' superintendent here states that the men working for the company will be protected with the full force of the law. Queen Alexandra and the Nurses. LONDON, July 3.���Queen Alexandra, in company with the king and princesses Louise and Beatrice, this afternoon received 770 Victoria jubilee nurses on the lawn of Marlborough House and distributed decorations to a number of the nurses who have just returned from South Africa and others who have been engaged in city and outdoor i*elief work. Her majesty said: "It is a pleasure to receive you and help you to carry on your noble work begun by our deeply beloved queen Victoria. It is a satisfaction to be associated -with you in your labor .of love. I can't imagine a more holy calling than yours. I pray tnat God's blessing may' be bestowed on your noble work and that he will have you in his keeping." '��� . - Calamity Howlers. *: " LONDON, July 3.-���During the debate today in_the house of commons on naval estimates the cabinet ministers were heckled on all sides regarding the condition of the navy. Members asserted that the British Mediterranean fleet was especially inadequate to meet French and Russian squadrons, saying that it was undermanned and unequipped, especially with modern guns; that it lacked colliers and the coal depots were all exposed to an enemy's fire. The members generally predicted that in case of war the admiralty would break down as completely as tho war office did. H. O. Arnold Foster, secretary to the admiralty, in replying referred tb the great demand onUhe admiralty for service in South Africa and China amd promised to strengthen the .Medterra- nean fleet when new battleships were available arid to add to the fleet cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers.

And Starts a Stampede for the District Lying Between Corn ��� and Summit Camps. CRESTON, July 3.���For the past two weeks tho people of this town have been in the throes of a placer mining excitement and even at this late date "it-is-impossible-to-say���whether��� there, is anything to warrant the excitement which is being shown or not. The excitement was started by a siwash who made his appearance in town with some remarkably rich gold rock. He showed his find to police constable Wilson, who is stationed in the town, and the result was that the constable and tho Indian started out for the place where the rock was supposed to havo come from, an assay made from the' same having given returns of $98 in gold. When the Wilson party camo back and made known the result of the assay and further announced that the ledge had been found and located there was a perfect stampede from Creston and Kuskonook. The Wilson"locations aro said to have been made upon a hill between Corn and Summit creeks, a few miles from Creston, the discovery being in a small bluff in which the ledge has been exposed, and those who arrived on the scene somewhat later have staked the entire section in the hope of catching a piece of the lead. Tho Wilson discovery is said to be a good strong ledge and if work upon it shows that it is in place the property will have a good speculative value. It is not known as yet that any of the reck taken by the locaters from the find has been assayed, and some doubt has been thrown upon the Indian's integrity by reason of his actions subsequent to the announcement of the discovery. Naturally everyone was anxious to get a slice of a gold property which promised as high as $90 to the ton, and in consequence the Indian at once created a market for his services as-a guide. A syndicate composed of Jack Hampson, W. P. Sloane and R. J. Long were the first to strike a bargain with the Indian after he had returned from piloting Wilson to the find. They made a dicker with him whereby in return for $15 in hand delivered the Indian was to show them where the rock which he had brought to town had come from. The party made a start, but the first night out the Indian gave them the slip. A week was then put in by tho anxious prospectors despite the heavy rain, but they could find nothing ,and returned to town very skeptical of Indians and their mining romances. . ��� -.. HENLEY ON THAMES, July 3.���The Henley regatta opened today formally, although owing to the large number of entries for the Thames' challenge cup three heats in the contest for that trophy were rowed yesterday - afternoon and were won by Trinity Hall, Cambridge; the School of Mines Rowing Club and the Kingston Rowing Club. The results today were as follows: Wyfold challenge cup���First heat: Kingston -Rowing Club beat Trinity College, Oxford. Kingston's time was 8:08. The Grand challenge cup���First heat: Leander Epwing Club beat New College, Oxford. Time 7:09. Second heat: Pennsylvania University beat London Rowing Club by three lengths. Time 7:01 2-5. Thames challenge cup���Fourth heat: Trinity Hall, Cambridge, beat the London Rowing Club. The regatta began under favorable conditions. The sun was bright and warm and'a cool breeze was blowing off the towpath. The attendance, however, does not equal the expectations. Comparatively few American flags were visible. The Pennsylvania crew came down to their boat house at 11:30 a. m. They all declared themselves fit and confident. Leander, which was to meet New College at 12:35 p. m., went out for a spin, but the Pennsylva- nians did not embark till they went to the starting point. "Bob" CookMn his final summary of the Pennsylvanian's prospects said: "No American crew was ever at Henley with better pros-' pects.. They are in splendid condition and confident. They, will, in my opin-. ion, meet Leander in the finals when, I fear, the Englishmen will beat them." The Pennsylvanians undoubtedly won their heat in great style. They were never extended, and it is now freely -admitted by those who thought the Le- anders had a certainty for the grand challenge cup that they are extremely dangerous. "I don't like the looks of it," said the London crew's coach to a representatives, of the Associated Press, but V never "thought the- Americans would show such capability." When umpire Pittman's launch arrived at the starting point the crews were waiting. The most encouraging feature was the perfect nonchalance * the Americans showed while waiting. Without delay Mr. Pittman started them on their journey, Pennsylvania rowing 40 and London 41. At the end of the island the Americans led by half a length. Opposite Fawley court, which they did in 3:24, the Americans were clear, and rowing 43. They seemed to be rowing a little short opposite the Leander enclosure and the London crew made their final effort.- But it was no good. The, Pensylvanians increased the distance rapidly and near the grand stand hit up the stroke to 40 and then to 46, crossing the line at a terrific pace. There was practically no cheering". * HENLEY, July 3.���Theodore Cook, an Oxford oarsman, who rowed for his university against Cambridge and who helpcd-coach-Harvard���has-written-the following for the Associated Press: "The weather today was perfect for the Pennsylvanian's first race, as the conditions were absolutely equal for each starter. The sun was fine and warm and the wind was from an unusual quarter off the Berkside shore and gave nope the advantage, which would accrue to the Bucks (Buckinghamshire) if the breeze had blown off the bushes. Tho water was slightly rippled, but not enough to impede the blades in the least. As the Pennsylvania boys came on the regatta course to paddle down to the start they received loud and general applause from all sides of tho river. Tliey looked brown, wiry and as well trained as possible, considering the severe and secluded nature of their preparations on a hill above the town, from which they only came' down to row, without ever watching the other crews from the tow- path or even bringing their strength against the other crews at all. They looked far less nervous than I should ever have imagined and a few of them actually smiled as their shell was paddled to the starting post. This was very different to the tense and stern faces of both the Yale and Cornell crews on the same occasion a year ago. The Pennsylvanians were on the right side of the river as you looked from the start to the finish. The members of the London Rowing Club crew averaged 168 pounds each, as against 164 pounds each for the Pennsylvanians, but the Americans looked, far more' stocky and wiry, and Mr. Low, the coach of the London crew, who also watched from the umpire's boat, did not seem to like the prospect at all. His fears were justified, for although his crew got ahead for the first few strokes at 40, Pennsylvania whipping in at 41, soon cut down the difference and began to go ahead very quickly, getting a lead of a quarter of a length at the first, with the London Rowing Club hard behind them, but the Englishmen were quite unable to press the leaders and Pennsylvania passed Fawley court boathouse cler.r and away, rowing well within themselves at a level and a strong 38, which suited them capitally. Number five and number four were doing especially well at this point and John Gardiner, though his stylo is not attractive, was doing just what his crew needed and in the best way any stroke could do it. They negotiated the half course in three minutes and 24 seconds and immediately began to take off the full- pressure, which had lasted up to this -time. The London crew spurted then, but they only produced the effect of falling still further back and the race was practically over when Pennsylvania passed the lawn of the Leander Rowing Club, two lengths to the good. Soon after this Gardiner broke his men out of their easy gait, although there appeared no necessity whatever for doing so and worked them up to nearly 40, apparently with the object of. showing the grand stand how strong the Pennsylvanians could finish if they liked. The boat rolled at flrst under the change of pace, but rapidly became steady again and the blue and crimson-jerseys passed the post three lengths ahead, doing their hardest. The course was completed In 7 minutes 1 2-5 seconds." TRYING THE YACHTS. ROTHESAY, July 3.���In order to give the Shamrocks a thorough test in open waters, a triangular course was laid out for today's race. Starting at Garrick Head, thence to Holy Island, around the Erin, thence 10 or 12 miles to the southeastward, around the Erin again and back to the starting point Sir Thomas Lipton invited the reporters aboard the Erin to witness the racing. But Mr. Watson canceled the Invitation, desiring to preserve the secrecy with which he has futilely endeavored to surround the challenger's movements: The boats fetched-out of the bay under jib headed topsails. A brisk easterly breeze was ruffling the water and giving a fine wind all the way down. Although the formal racing commenced at Garrick Head,' the boats were sent off from Craigmore pier in racing order. The challenger took up a position on the weather bow of the older boat as she crossed the line and rapidly opened away, the Shamrock I. following in her wake. Off Ascot, three miles out, the challenger led-by about half a mn- ute. Finding the ,wind contrary the original race plans were abandoned in favor of a trial inside the firfh, and the two yachts started on a reach across. Off Cumbra the challenger was leading by ,53 seconds. Soon after they sailed into a calf and the Shamrock I. passed the Shamrock II. wide to windward. Fetching up "the firth the wind headed the boats and their jib topsails etaoin shrdlu mfwy vbgkqj xzfifl xzflff etaoni shrdlu mfwpy vbgkqj xffi fil,. zfi were taken in. The breeze freshened, but the challenger gained very little. Later she bore away and passed wide to leeward of the Shamrock I. This left the plder boat still in better position and she -was soon'able to repass the Shamrock II. and slightly drew ahead. At the finish "of the* actual racing the Shamrock' T-. lead' 'by. a minute-"and a hr-lf. HOT WAVE STILL WITH THEM EASTERN PEOPLE SWELTERING WITH HEAT. Deaths and Prostrations Increase and No Signs of Abatement of Temperature. ' SHARKEY DOWNED AGAIN. BUFFALO, July. 3.���Dan MeLeod, th'e Scotch wrestler, tonight won his match with Tom Sharkey, the sailor-pugilist, at the Broadway arsenal. The conditions of the match required MeLeod to throw Sharkey twice within an hour, catch-as-catch-can. Both ��� men were in fine condition and there was not an uninteresting moment throughout the struggle. Sharkey acted on the defensive and succeeded in holding the muscular little wrestler off for 44 minutes and 30 seconds. MeLeod scored the first fall after 19 minutes of hard work. The struggle of the first round tired MeLeod, while Sharkey was comparatively fresh. A succession of bridges finally disposed of the sailor. Time of last fall, 25 minutes 30 seconds. Charlie Mitchell, the English pugilist, refereed. TELEGRAMS IN BRIEF FORM From Various Sources. LEIPSIG, July 3.���Herr Schwedler, a wool merchant of this city, drowned himself today at Sewickau.

The practical utility of the report is very small except for historical purposes. For instance, ."^-the province is congratulated upon the great expansion of the silver-lead mining'industry, but,from cover tocovei* (" there is not a word about the new con- I editions confronting the silver-lead industry, '���..���ere aro very few people in - British Columbia ��� who .are worrying then* heads about an increase of 206 per cent in the output of lead last year. But there aro a great many people in Biitish vj-jiumbia who are putting in over time thinking about how the dif- ,, iiculties confronting the silver-lead industry at the present itme are to be met and overcome. Thero is not a word in the report about the problem of home "smelting and refining as compared'with foreign smelting and refining, regarding which, accurate data of comparative * costs, and concerning the necessity and possioiiity of the lead produced in Brit- " ish Columbia reacliing the consumer by ^a different' route from hitherto,. wouid ' have been most practical and valuable. -So far as the report of the minister of mines is concerned the bureau of mines seems to have got into a rut and to be -==?=^=-staying-there-^It=does=n6t=seem=to7=keep= pace wiui the.new problems .in mining and metallurgy, and market to which the development of the country is' giving rise.

This money can be procured in two ways. One way is for our people to incorporate a company and subscribe sufficient capital to carry out the venture without other assistance from the city than a free lease of the ground for a long term of years, giving the. city the option of purchasing the improvements at the expiration of the lease. The other way is for the city to make all the. improvements, then lease the ground for a term of years to a responsible company on a rental basis that would pay the interest on the cost of the improvements, the company to maintain the park in first-class condition during the life of the lease.

I-K-' IS"'j fers-to "later advees;" .that is, advices received since Mr. Robertson's visit, which point to the discovery of tho rich paystreak worked out on ��� the creek claims on tho benches on Spruce and Pine, opening up possibilities of profitable drift, mining. If these advices are correct they, to' some extent, at least, invalidate, the goneral conclusions ar- .rived at in", the report regarding the immediate future ��� of Atlin as ' a placer camp. ' Thoy do not, however,"counteract the impression of hopeless gloom in regard."to Atlin, whicli is the one result of a careful reading 'of the report. There is nothing of any interest in tne repoit which has not. been forestalled by the pamphlet already issued by the department except the report on the Atlin country by Mr. Robertson. As usual the report is built up out of official reports by the various gold commissioners and mining recorders, whicli are not particularly valuable and certainly far from interesting to read, and a few notes dotted hero and there of the personal observations of Mr. Robertson made on his flying trips through the country. Some companies have contributed tables of mining and milling costs and so forth, which contain valuable information of a technical kind. The' Athabasca company in particular. As all reputable puulic companies publish such documents, it is a great pity they are not collected and published in the annual reports. In regard, to quartz the position of affairs is even worse in Atlin. It appears from the report that tho country rock of the district'is. of a soft porous nature and has suffered surface enrichment by the same' flow of gold which' enriched the creeks, arid what has been mistaken for an enormous mass.of low grade milling.ore is merely ,a skin of rock into which a little gold has-filtered from above. Of course there arc veins in Atlin, but these veins have become enriched on the surface from the same cause as the porous country rock, only. ,mpr.e^so. and���whenever���tested-at-dentli- have not been shown- to maintain their gold value. As described by Mr. Robertson, the quartz resources of the district are not by any means tempting. Apart from the report on Atlin there is nothing in the whole document which shows any independent research, and the compilation of the information contained in it is on, the old traditional lines which certainly seem a little out of date now that wc have more than prospects to show for our mining industry in British Columbia.

According to it, placer mining in the ordinary sense is practically at an end, the area of the deposition of gold in paying quantities being limited to those creeks which have already been worked out or nearly so. As for hydraulic mining difficulties of dump and water make it impossible until the rights of the placer claims are either sold ti the hydraulic companies or abandoned, and until all the hydraulicing on each separate creek is consolidated in tho hands of one company, so that the ground may be worked from the lowest profitable point up stream. It may be pbserved, however that the report re: The Economist is :of the opinion that lacrosse attracted more people to Nelson than any other event that was pulled off at the celebration. While lacrosse is a popular game, it is no more so than baseball. On Monday there were over 500 paid admissions to see a ball game alone at a time when there wore many attractions, among others a circus, going on. On Tuesday, when, there were no other attractions, 1000, people paid the price of admission to' see both lacrosse and baseball, and over 600 remained through a rain storm in order to see the baseball game finished. Baseball is played in every village, town and city in Canada, and is the one game that most of the people understand. It is the one game that is regularly played in all the large cities as an amusement venture, and good games appear to draw as large crowds today as they did twenty years ago. " . AUCTIONEERS.

NOT MADE. \ Once there was a shy, apologetic Man named Buchanan Meek, who lived in Chicago. Ho wore a frightened Smile most of the time. Mr. Meek believed in the Golden Rule, although it seemed to be costing him Money every Year. He never liked to hurt any one's Feelings or inconvenience those with whom he c,i*ne in contact, and -co he was always backing out of the Way and Bagging Pardon. He h;*,d read in a Book somewhere tliat he who is Gentle and Considerate will find Sunshine wherever he goes, but ono cannot depend on these ��� Weather. Predictions. He had lived Years without getting any Returns so ' "far as he could Figure. He had been ' -scattering Seeds of Kindness, but there, had been a steady Failure of Crops. Sometimes Mr. Meek would suspect that there was something wrong wilh his System. Jt seemed' to him that those who got .put and made'Rough House and ; walked on other People usually secured " seats at the First Table, while flic difli- . dent and unobtrusive kind got nothing ����� better than a belated sWhack at what - -J.*ps 'left over. / \ ln this same .wp.s rown-of. Chicago there man named Covington Beefer. lie was a walking Thunder Cloud'and showed his Teeth when he talked. He .worked." along on the ^Principle that a Man is Entitled to anything he can Get. -He wouldn't take anything that was Spiked Down unless he happened to have a Nail Puller with him. Mr. Bcefer was good to himself. He was a self-made Business Shark who had neglected to.read up on the Brotherhood of Man. x -., .Mr. Meek carried enough Milk of Hu- *'- Jlaan Kindness- to stock *a fair-sized 'Creamery. Pie could not find it in his Heart" to buck through a lino of Shop- ��� pel's, extending across tho Sidewalk or give a'frail Newsboy the Knee in order to hurry him out of the way, so when he was on the street they usually had him Hemmed In like a piece of Insertion and he was habitually lato in arriving at the Offlco. Mr. Beefer, however, would move up the Street in a Bee Line, throwing tender young "Girls and doddering old Gen- ^jrvJdeinen off into the Gutters/ cutting =i=A^rough=a=covey=of^WTomen7=regardressT .''���"'"���"Ad lifting them right and-Jeft like a I jfeet" Sweeper. He never lost any \ une, and- therefore had a Reputation \Punctuality, f.Uhe..evening when it came time to /Home, Mr.; Beef er" would heave his y\*ay through the Swarm, drag People yoff the Platform, hunch his way into the Car, pull a Small Boy out of a Seat and Sauat in Comfort all the way home, reading his Evening Paper. Mr. Meek would fuss around the outskirts of the Crowd and be shunted back and forth a few times. He did not believe in un- i seemly haste and rudeness, so he would \ wait for tho others to get aboard rather than work the Elbow Grind on refined fl Ladies, and as a consecucnco he usually had the Privilege of riding on the back Bumper. But it was in.the Restaurant that the soft-spoken and forbearing Mr. Meek got all that was coming to him. A waiter .would bring a clammy Napkin and a glassful of shattered lee and then lie .would go away and never come back. Mr. Meek would sit there and Moan and Murmur, occasionally lifting his Finger, but they couldn't see him. And what would Mr. Covington Beefer do in this same auick-action Feedery? He would come in and demand a Table all to himself and. unless they gave him a clock-work service the moment he sat down, he would pound on the Ta- ,ble and send for the Head Waiter and *tyant to know what kind of third-class Joint they were running. Then the Head Waiter would apologize and put the German Curse, on waiter number 19 for neglecting one of their best Customers. In a couple of minutes Mr. Beefer would havo nearly everything on the .Bill of Fare laid out in front of him. Number 19 would be breaking his Back to hold his Job, and the Head Waiter would be hovering around in a further effort to Square himself. And Mr. Buchanan Meek would-still be folding the Napkin and watching the Ice melt. As a result of the occasional Blowing Up and sending Dishes hack to the Kitchen to be warmed over to suit him, Mr. Beefer established a Reputation and he commanded Respect. Every time lie walked into the place they put on a fresh Tablecloth and the Head Waiter ii'*- would come around to brush away im- NOTICE.

Mr. Beefer always began the degree Business with the Senegambian as soon as ho found his number, and con- secuently ho received four times tne Attention for the samo Tip. The tradesmen got onto the fact that Mr. Meek would rather be Soaked than raise an Argument, so they palmed off last year's Hats on him and delivered Glucose instead of Sugar and gave him Rump Steak at the price of Sirloin. If the Tobacconist had a cigar that was a slow Seller, he pushed it out to Mr. Meek because the latter was a nice,, obliging Mark who' took what was cf- fered him and then went out on tiptoe. As for, Beefer, when he came in and began to file his Complaints, they opened Fresh Boxes until they found one tiiif. suited him. - A great many canvassers and Agents came around to lean against Mr. Meek and take up his Time. He had been posled ou the Bulletin Board of the Grafters' Union as the Prize Pudding, lie never would repulse a Fellow Cre ���- .ture who was honestly endeavoring tu earn a Livelihood, so they filed in one-, after another aud made u_\.e a Burden to him. But thoy Kept away from Beefer. Mr. Beefer began to bark like a Prairie Wolf the moment one of then put a ��� Nose inside his Ojnce and Mr. Smooth Salesman usually was glad to make \i Run for it without waiting to catch the Elevator. In the course of time the knowledge that ho was being Bilked and Horns- woggled and Imposed Upon began to embitter tht nuiet little Man. He still believed that a Soft Answer turrsoth away Wrath, but he wonaered wny it was -the policeman always selected him as the one to be shoved along. He had a Cheery* Smile for the Liuie Ones,'so the Tough Kids at tht Corner whistled through their Teeth at him and cal'io" him "Lizzie.".- He began to revise hi* Theories of Life, for it seemed evident that .the Scrapper who goes around ���_���:*.- cuting Call-Downs and howling for his Rights, is the only one who gets a bh'jjv for his White Alley? So Mr. Me->k decided that he won]*.! shift his Tactics and begin some noisy Bluffing and compel Pro'Me to uoti'***' him. He said his Money .was as goot! a . anybody's and% he did not propose io be Run Over any longer, lie decided to start in at the Restaurants, Decades that -was whore they had trampled on him for Twenty Years. Hotiran.lv a c-u- ple of Hooters to fix his Courage and. then he went into a busy Cafe. As usual, a waiter brought him a limp Napkin and a couple of pounds of Ice and then evaporated. Mr. Meek waited live minutes and then all .the ^accumulated Wrath that had been simmering ami steaming for Years broke forth in one mighty Protest. He pound od. o.i the Table, just as he had seen Mr. Beefer do. He denounced the place as being worse than a Tramp's Boarding House. Jie^called=fpi=the*-Head=-Waiter-=in=ne>-.'o- and strident Tones. He announced th .t he would register his Roar with no one but the Boss. He had noticed that a successful Bluffer always waves tne Underlings out of the way and demands au Audience with the Main Pi op. It seemed to Mr. Meek that he was giving a very fait* Imitation. \ He know that when Mr. Beefer arose and' declared himself he always Cot Away with it. But perhaps Mr. Buchanan Meek didn't do it just right. At any rate-, the manager of tho Cafe ran up and Handed him a couple. Then Mtv Meak'.'*.- True Nature asserted itself. He began to Apologize and that'was tho fjignal for a Close-in. Three-Waiters beat nim down to a Gasp and ran him out.to the Street and tried to upset a hansom Cab with him. As soon as Mr, Meek recovered and sat up on tho Cobble Sttr.U's, .ie made a Vow that he would never again speak abovo a Whisper. Moral: Kickers are Porn and not Made.

Peel has thirty days to serve in the Nelson jail for tarrying firearms. v.;. V The load of rock which" was drawn by Mike Scully's team on the stoneboat on Tuesday was weighed yesterday and found to turn the scale at 4930 pounds. This makes a pretty 'good-load for a dead pull, but Scully keeps good horses for good work. Of those_who subscribed to the fund for the Dominion Day celebration, 63 have not yet been called on for the amount of" their subscriptions, which total $531.50. It will be convenient for the finance committee to call today to make the collections. - ~ - - All accounts for materials or supplies furnished tho celebration committee should be handed in at once to either the chairmen of the sub-committees or to secretary H. R. Cameron,-as the executive committee want to close-up their affairs on Saturday. Nelson has a sensational preacher of the Bantiet persuasion, named Morgan. He is attempting in frothy sermons to show that the city of Nelson is engaged In illegal practices and winking at vice. An inspection of the police court docket of Nelson will show that there is nothing in what Morgan is ranting oyer, vThere were no bidders yesterday*'at the sheriff's sale of the interest of J. A. MacKinnon & Company in the Hampton group of claims on Springer creek, or-the sale of-Herbert Cuthbert's interest in the Blend mineral claim on the west fork' of Rover creek. In consequence both sales were postponed until Saturday, July 6th, at the same hour in front of the sheriff's office. - The lacrosse game between the'Medicine Hat and Nelson teams, to play off the tio which resulted' in Tuesday's match, has been postponed until Saturday. * In the interval -the Medicine Hal boys' will go over to Grand Forks . Ic try conclusions with the Grand Forks, team. During their brief stay in the city the boys from the territories made, many friends and a good gate may be expected at the Saturday match. - Charles Hunt was run in by the police last evening upon a charge of gambling. In addition to being charged with gambling, Hunt is also suspected of having given those who went against his game considerably the worst of it. He war- taken beforo J. K. Strachan, J. P., shoit- ly after his arrest, who admitted him to bail in the sum of ?150 in cash, the prisoner having something over $200 with him at the time of his .arrest. . The klootchman's race for the shawl of the McDover tartan was run off yes- torday afternoon under the direction of Charles A. Waterman, and was won by Miss Lo of the Kootenay tribe. Follow-,, ing the klootchman's race there* we're =a=number=of=tenas=race^=run-=foi���t-he= little pioneers, after which the klootch- men wore put back in the running for ���cash prizes. Although it was raining- heavily at the time, they kept up the running as long as there was any money, in sight. A' number of the bridgemen on the Kootenay branches, have gone out in sympathy'with.: the striking trackmen, but otherwise the local situation remains unchanged. The best of feeling continues to prevail/This was well evidenced yesterday when a small slide came down on the Boundary branch, near Shields. Tho trackmen on this sec-' tion were on strike, of course, but the foreman" p.t once reported the slide to' the company just as promptly as if he were drawing pay and in a short time the track was cleared. E. -B. McDermid, accountant in the ofliQevpf^he Duncan Mines, has received ���notice^'fj'om W. B'ddis, president of the. Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, notifying him that he had been successful in his examination for admission to the Institute. The examination for admission to this association [is particularly rigidand includes an examination in law as well as in accounting. That success in an examination of this kinds means something may be gathered from the circumstance that at present there are but 60 members in this Institute, which is'the best recognized in the Dominion. ' ' '. The full court has sustained the decision of Mr. Justice Walkem in the case of Lawr vs. Parker. This was an action for a declaration of title to some mineral ground on Morning mountain, the plaintiff as the owner of the Rebecca mineral claim applying to have the same declared a valid location as against tho Blue Jay, owned by the defendant, Charles Parker. The Lawr title was attacked on the ground that the Mineral Act had not been complied with in several particulars, in view of which the Blue Jay claim had been staked over it. Among other things there was no work done upon tho Rebecca mineral claim and no record made of any intention of performing the necessary work upon any adjoining claim. This led to the belief that the Rebecca was vacant and the Blue Jay was staked over it in consequence. At the trial of the action last fall justice Walkem found for the plaintiff Lawr.

' Tom Wilmot of Cranbrook, who took the horse Roy Carruthers over to Grand Forks for the celebration races, pessed through Nelson last evening on his way home. He did pretty well at the forks, having captured two of the principal events on the racing card. c. T. G. Roy of the Silver Hill mine left this morning on a trip to his home in Montreal after an absence of 13 years. He will go by way of New Mexico, where he. will visit three brothers who are ranching there and at Buffalo will take in the Pan-American. He expects to be away about six ��� weeks. G. F. Bhrenzeller and L. Beer of New York, who have been through the Slocan sizing up the possibilities of that district as an ore producer, left for Rossland last evening. They represent European smelter- interests and are also said to be extensive buyers of ore. Their chief business on their present trip is to see what they can do in the way of securing about 3000 tons of ore or concentrates for the European market. Frenchman Wanted Salvage. R. Robitaille is the name of a Frenchman whose peculiar views on the salvage law has got him into trouble, so much so, in fact, that he now stands charged with an offense which might send hini over the road for three years. Robitaille's^ trouble is in connection with a couple "of landing floats belonging to the tramway company whicli got adrift from.their moorings at the tramway, park. The floats were picked up by Robitaille, who refused to give them up unless the' tramway company would pay him-.?25. " Manager Mason of the tramway company was willing to pay $5 for the return of. the. floats, but he considered that- $25 was more than the floats were worth. He accordingly consulted the provincial police to see what he should do. As a result he and provincial constable Young paid a ,visit" to the Frenchman at his camp and made,a formal demand for possession of the floats. Robitaille not only declined to give up possession of the floats but made a show of force when the police officer attempted to take possession.- The result was that officer Young not only took possession of the floats but" put the irons on Robitaille as well and brought him to the provincial jail. His friends secured bail for him in the sum of- $500 for his appearance yesterday morning. In the meantime he had secured the services of a lawyer to get him out of his troubles and the lawyer asked for a remand until Tuesday next, which was granted, the same bail being accepted for the prisoner's appearance. The criminal code is very strict in cases of this kind, it being an offense =punishable^with=three=i.yearsMmprison-= ment to even refuse'to give up any timber found adrift in the lake; or to make any attempt to ��� render identification of the same difficult after it has been picked up. -��� Mining Records, Seven new locations have been recorded at the Nelson record oflice.

This means that the city has saved the accrued interest upon the debentures, which at the time of the sale amounted to $lt50, and which it was thought the purchasers in the first instance had demanded. This makes the city the gainer by this amount. Compared with the former .offer, which was hung up by reason of some flaw in the legality of the debenture issue, the city is the gainer under the new sale by something over $1000, and. as against the present offer as first construed, by something close upon $2000. The money for the debentures was paid through the local branch of the Bank of Commerce. Nelson Debentures Sold.

Retallack for member simply because it-loved John L. In 1900, the Ledge supported John Keene solely for love. Robert Green was in both contests as a candidate, and easily won in both events. The Ledge is very bitter now against Robert F. because he has not caused the Ledge to be placed on the list for government advertising. If the Ledge's influence in political cam-, paigns is to be measured by results, "Bob". Green need not pay much heed to the Ledge's strictures now that tnere is no campaign in sight. Newspaper abuse, when the abuse is based on grounds that are of the earth earthly, counts for little in elections.

The interview lasted about 'half an hour and at its conclusion general Gomez reiterated through his interpreter that his mission to this country was in no way political. He came here to see the president, for whom he has a very high regard and to express to him the deep gratitude he felt for. the assistance of the United States in the Cuban struggle. No political topics, he said,' had been touched upon during the interview, which was purely social.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-07-04 |
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. |
