C, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1901 FIVE CENTS .MINE OWNERS' MEMORIAL ADDRESSED TO THE GOVERNOR- GENERAL-IN-COUNCIL. A Document Dealing in the Condition and Needs of the Mining Industry - i ��� of the Province. , The Mine Owners' Association has had ; 'two meetings at Nelson within a month. The members -'aro very close-mouthed . as to the proceedings had at these meetings. The first one was held on the 2Sth of June, and the result; of that meeting is given rbclow. It is published exclusively this morning0 in The Trib- ���'June, for the members of the association are beginning to admit that The Tribune is the only newspaper in the province that is !a strictly impartial authority on the economic conditions at pres- ' ent prevailing in Kootenay and Yale. The proceedings had at that meeting in June were in 'the- shape of a Memorial to His Excellency the Governor General in Council. It reads as follows: TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL IN COUNCIL: This memorial of tho British Columbia Mining Association, an organization duly incorporated and formed under the laws of the province of British Columbia, and representing.in its membership .the metal mining industry of the province, respectfully sets forth as follows: That the province' of British Columbia prior to the recent development of its' metal mining industry had acquired n population of only 65,000 whites. During the past 10 years the growth of this industry has afforded a rapidly increasing annual .production which in the year 1900, had reached a total of S11.348.4S1. . ���.." Large amounts of Canadian and British capital have been invested in thic new industry. This rapid growth has stimulated numerous industries throughout the'province and the Dominion; lias brought the physical, geological, and mineralogica! features .of the province to,the notice of the world, and has been the chief factor - in increasing,its population to the-present figure of about L10.000 whites. ��� ln the continent of North America! 4(|'he Cordilleras of the Rocky mountains'. ��� after passing thr'ougli'j;M��xfc'6"'and tlie United States, in their hdi'tliward course enter the province of iaritish Columbia, and pass through its entire length, 700 miles, covering the. entire 'width, 400 mile's: From these ' Cordilleras within Mexico and the United States have been extracted the vast stores of metallic .. wealth that .have enriched these countries and Europe. There is no geological reason Svhy the Rocky mountains should not be as prolific in mineral resources within the province of British Columbia as within the '-countries named; therefore, British Columbia. ''--measuring 700. miles in length and 40C miles in ������width, and having an area of '280,000 square miles, or 179,200,000 acres, or. about 1630 acres'for each white inhabitant of the province, or 34 acres fo: each white inhabitant of the Dominion so far as is known is one vast minerai field. That this vast mineral field, witl the exception of- a narrow strip alon: the Boundary line of the United States ��� and a few isolated spots, elsewhere, is ���entirely^undeveloped���and=even=unex��� pi oral.. The development of these resources begun a few- years ago so auspiciously has been brought to a practical standstill; and whereas a few years ago the ���mountains were swarming with prospectors, today these pioneers of the mining, industry have nearly disappeared. The flow of capital into the province has been practically cut off; the metal production is at present decreasing: numbers of producing mines have closed down, and,those operating have, with a few; exceptions, ceased to pay dividends. The working mines are struggling under heavy burdens which are still accumulating each year. It is now frankly admitted by mining men that the industry is prostrated in many mining divisions and; that its condition is rapidly becomin**: worse. This association has been reluptant to make public these facts, hoping that their realization by the communities immediately interested would lead to the gradual removal of the evils that caused the***., but it is, nt l?.st evident that there is no chance of this ben*.**- realized,, and consequently any further con- ee-alni'ent would be useless and detrimental to the, best ..interest of the country. It is-believed that the only hope for the industry and the communities interested lie's in wide and frank publicity and .-officiaL.investigation. No other course offers any hope of bringing about the prompt- and radical reforms necessary to re-establish the industry in the position it.- should occupy naturally. Now, .-therefore.'the British Columbia Mining-Association balls attention to the fact that the, blighting of the industry is not due' entirely to natural causes, but mainly to unwise legislation. The ore deposits of. British Columbia prom- is�� to enual those found in the Rocky .Mountains- elsewhere, but their development and utilization are .serious]*' retarded 1*7 br.rt !r.v/s. In making these statements it is clearly recognized (that the growth of metal mining, just now checked, has suffered ���from .the infantile diseases that affect the industr;*- in other minin--- regions' of the world, to-wit: The ordinary elements of chance in the behaviour of ore deposits in new fields; the difficulties of -pioneer work in new regions; over valuation of prospective mines; stock swind les; bad management, etc., etc. Such evils, which always appear during the early growth of the mining industry, have been no worse in British Columbia than in other mining regions of the world, and should gradually lessen and disappear as the industry becomes established and. permanent. These evils, however, together with the tendency to ascribe to each individual failure some natural cause, have blinded the public to the great and overwhelming burdens resulting from legislative enactments. With the improvement of the other conditions unfavorable to the industry during the past few years, this artificial burden has become more clearly recognized as the main cause of the present depressed condition, and it is believed unless radical relief is given at. an early day the industry will with the exception of some rich deposits here and there, be surely crushed out eventually. The total-weight of the legislative burdens bearing so heavily on the industry can only be properly seen by viewing them in the aggregate, and considering not only those that may be easily cured but also those which at the present time seem permanently established. It is recognized, for instance,* that the mining industry must bear its fair share of the reasonable cost of government, and that it is not within the power cf the Dominion government to open the United States lead market to the product of our lead mines unless it become possible in the future by some form of reciprocity, to be arranged for by the representatives of both countries. The need for radical-relief to the industry where it is possible, however, is apparent from the following summary of the artificial burdens now imposed: ; PUOVlN>*l.'\L TAXATION.

Owing to the imecual distribution of present taxation it is notorious thai mining districts bear an excessive proportion of the-load, making the per capita, .for. .them-more''.than the above amount. The above .taxation is shifted mainly to the ultimate producers. If divided among the five industries; according to their relative importance, roughly indicated by such statistics of production and exports ;as exist, the probable share carried by each is: Industry.

Balance left for expenses and profit (?) $S,77G,20fl As a matter of fact the unequal distribution mentioned makes the real load much in excess of this 22.7 per cent. It is also evident that the other four industries shift :���- considerable portion of their taxes on to mining through the supplies which they furnish to it. Thus the actual load is considerably in excess of the above fiirure. The results of the above excessive taxation show themselves in mining communities in the form of costs of living, in business and in mining operations, which, in view of their distance from supplies, are very excessive. This is notorious and is the subject of general" complaint. Such items as the following list bear directly on the mines, and are thereby clearly recognized, while the others reach them in innumerable ways through the gradual shifting of taxation on to the ultimate producers. 1. Customs duties, the effect of which is to increase running expenses by an amount which, as nearly as can be estimated, is about 12 per cent. 2.-Tho two per cent tax imposed" on., the output of mines. *. The effect of this tax is to appropriate six per cent of the net profits on ore of medium grade, increasing to 12 per cent and upwards on ore of low grade. This prevents the extension of mining to low grade ores, and has led to the practical suspension of further investments of capital in that direction. Such low grade ores exist in large quantities in the province, and experience in other regions has shown that they constitute the most powerful factor in establishing a mining industry upon a permanent basis. 3. Excessive fees payable on the incorporation or registration of mining companies. 4. Excessive and vexatious fees for boiler inspection. And several other matters, such as tho fees payable for the registration of land titles, the high rates charged in connection with the recording of min- The Last Payment on the Bond Falls Due on the Twentieth of Next Month. J. Frank Collom is steadily making a mine out of the Speculator, group on Springer creek, and the indications are that it will be one of the biggest properties in the Slocan. Since he'has had the bond upon the property!1 for his syndicate Mr. Collom has spent upwards of $40,000 in its development, and it haSj opened up so well that. there is now very little doubt but that the syndicate will complete the purchase on the 20th of next month by the payment of the balance upon the bond of- $55,000. There are two full-sized claims and two fractions in the Speculator group, which are located on the north fork of Springer' creek. The work done upon the property has demonstrated that it has two good strong ledges running through it, much of the ore from which gives remarkably Jhigh values in silver. That, the values indicated by the assays, will be maintained when'the property is in shape to make large shipments is not to be supposed, as some' of it runs away up in the hundreds of ounces in silver, but there* is every reason to believe that, the Speculator will be the producer of- some of the highest grade ore on the- creek, which is noted 'for its high grade properties. The Speculator will require to be worked by shafts and work upon it has in a measure been" delayed by reason of the non-arrival of a hoisting plant, which as been tied up-in one of the strikes on the other side of the- line. - On what is known as the No. 1 vein a tunnel has been run in for 250 feet, all of "which is said to be more or less in ore. Some 200 feet in from the mouth of this tunnel a winze has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet. At the bottom of this' winze a drift' has been run for 50 feet, in which the ore body which had been sunk on in the winze is said to have very greatly improved. Where this vein has been cross-cut it has been proven to be from 25 to 30 feet. 'The whole of the ledge is, mineralized, but along one of the walls is a very rich paystreak. The ore in this ledge so far as it has been developed appears to be very much mixed, some of it carrying- the.richest values in the mine, and in other portions of it the ore carries as much as 30 and 40 per cent-lead. From the bottom on the winze which has been sunk on the Ncv'l ledge a cross-cut has been run for 9G feet, which cuts the No. 2 vein. This vein carries-a- dry * ore.-which is ofvlOO ounces silver, and is generally supposed to be the Arlington vein. It has been further opened up by a 900- foot tunnel, run in through the upper end of the Speculator, through the Speculator- Fractional, and into the Mineral mountain. :This vein is said,to average 25 feet in width and in one place where it has been cross-cut it has been found to be 60 feet wide. Much of the worli done upon the Speculator has been unr der the personal supervision of W. Ml Thomlinson, the'present superintendent at the property. ��� : admiral. In his desire to escape all criticism on the point of bias, secretary Long felt that these were reasons sufficient for looking out for new material and for some man who was absolutely disassociated from the great controversy in any phase. Late this afternoon he believed he had found such an officer in the. person of captain Sam C. Lemley, the judge advocate general of the navy, a selection calculated because of the rank of the officer to constitute a.full recognition of the dignity and importance of the forthcoming court of inquiry. While it cannot be said that the matter is absolutely settled, secretary Long went so far as to ask Lemley if he felt free to accept the assignment if it were offered to him, and it is believed that captain iLemley will decide to answer in the affirmative. Captain Lemley- has * known j both men, Schley better than Sampson, perhaps. He was one of Schley's personal friends when he (Lemley) was in' active line of service. He accompanied Schley on the famous Greely relief ^expedition and rendered valuable service to, him on that occasion, which service the senior oflir- cer recognized. On.the other hand cap-; tain Lemley has known Sampson officially in the navy department when the admiral was at the?, head of the ordnance - -bureau and;, they were thus thrown.into close contact in ���*. business point of view for ��� several years. TELEGRAMS IN BRIEF FORM FROM VARIOUS QUARTERS OF THE GLOBE. Interesting Occurrences of Yesterday Condensed and Printed in a General Way. Bob Nelson, who has charge of the development on the Juno property, was in town yesterday. He says he has about 125 feet more to go with the 600-foot cross-cut which is being run to catch the vein, but he is now in very. hard rock and is not making more than, two feet per day. The rock he. is now in breaks well, but it requires good hard work to get the drills into it. The present cross-cut will give the owners of the Juno a vertical depth of 275 feet on the vein, but the depth on the dip will be very much -rreater. "William as a Peacemaker. LONDON, July 25.-PThe; rumor as to early peace negotiations which has pervaded the house of commons for some days, says the Daily Express, has taken the more- definite form that emperor William is soon to assume the role of peacemaker. Mr. Kruger and his advisers are represented as having empowered the kaiser to act for tho Boers, and he is considered willing to take the initiative in order to popularize himself with the German people, who disapprove his friendship for Great Britain. Something aparently is on'foot, whether emperor William is ia it o-- not. Mr. Kruger's arrival at The Hague is connected, the Daily Press thinks; with peace suggestions. .THE HAGUE, July 25.���Mr. Kruger arrived here this afternooii and proceeded to the residence of Mr. Wolmar- ingen, a watering- place on the North .Ter.. ���b * -b * -b -5- <���:��� * *b -b -b -b -:*��� -J- * * -I- *b * * ���b FAVORABLE FOR NELSON. -b -b SHAWNIGAN LAKE, July 25.

The Athabasca company has not decided to give the property up, by any means, but it is understood that an effort will be mado to negotiate a new deal under which tlie present holders of Venus stock will take more stock and less money than was called for under the bond which was to have run out early this month..-. The Schley, Investigation. WASHINGTON,' July 25..rf-Secretary Long announced this morning that he had selected Admiral Dewey,and rear admirals S. Kimberly and Benham as members of the Schley court of inquiry. The precept to the court has not yet been published. All day secretary Long was engrossed in the consideration of the details of the court, seeking particularly for a suitable judge advocate, realizing that upon this officer would devolve the largest measure of responsibility for the conduct of the inquiry to a successful issue. It was thought that such a man had been found in the person of commander John E. Pillsbury, a sailor who hr..** the brightest reputation professionally, and is, moreover, regarded as of a judicial temperament. In fact, it was announced early in the day at the department that he had been selected for the place. But later, on more mature consideration, his name was abandoned. It was recalled that as commander of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius he had served upder Sampson off Santiago, and moreover as equipment officer of the Boston navy yard and was now again a subordinate of the same ��� The writs were'issued yesterday in the cases of Regis Robitaille vs. Arehi; bald -Victor Mason, superintendent of the Nelson Electric Tramway Company, =and=Charles^WriYoUng:-=3rovincial=con= stable. . This is Robitaille's way of getting even'on the superintendent of the tramway and the provincial constable who were instrumental In havin**; him arrested upon his refusal to give over to the tramway company a couple of landing floats which he had found adrift in the west arm of the Kootenay lake. When the tramway superintendent and the police officer went to recover the property in question Robitaille refused to give it up. -Asa result he was placed under arrest and as he did not take kindly to this procedure the police olllcer thought it necessary to place tlie hiindcuffs upon him. He was tried before stipendiary, magistrate Crease, who set him at liberty, as he held'tliat the floats in question did not come within the meaning of the section of the criminal code under which the prosecution was laid. Robitaille' now claims that he lias suffered damages to the exte*rit"bf $S00, wliich amount he would like to get out of Mr. Mason of the tramway company, and of Mr. Young, the provincial police officer, and_ from the summons issued' in the case it is apparent that he is not the least,particular which of the two named puts up the amount required to restore -to him the position which he had in stieijety before his arrest upon the charge of refusing to deliver to the owners property illegally in his possession. Of the amount claimed by Robitaille, the sum of $800 probably represents the injury done to his feelings by reason of his arrest. Tho remaining $G6 is made up of $50 as the charges of his lawyer who defended him upon his trial before the stipendiary magistrate, three days' time at $4 per day for time which lie lost in connection with the hearing of the charge against himself, and another day at $1 for time lost while under arrest and in jail awaiting bail. The only things wliich stand between Mr. Robitaille and the securing of.tlie amount claimed are the tramway company, which will probably defend tlie action of its superintendent, and the attorney general's department, which may be counted upon to defend the action of the police officer, otherwise he bas plain sailing.

DAVENPORT, La., July 25.���Fire last night destioyed an area of sawdust and residence propel ty in Da\enport equal to 20 ordinary city blocks, causing a loss of $700 000.

A wave of vrionism swept over Nelson a year ago, '���wnen building operations were unusu- ' ally '���ris!*:. Hundred** of mechanics and laboicrs were employed, and all the dif7 lercnt trrdes *'*ere organized into unions. Now that building operations havo practically ceased, the members of th'e different union1* have had to go elsewhere fo- employment, leaving some cf-t!*e unions with not dough members to form a quorum, and others with so few members that factional fights have broken out as to who will hold the of-' fices of honor and occupy the seats of trust in the labor council. What is hap- "no-".i**g i*i Nelson in this respect has happened in hundreds of other places; and will continue to- happen. Nelson has had no end of societies and organi-' zations of "one kind and another, and how many of them are in existence today? So with its trade unions. There arc but three trades, miners, carpenters, and printers, with a membership sufficiently large to keep up a union permanently. The others, until their membership can be retained at twice the number required' for a quorum, should return their charters and affiliate with unions in the nearest city that has permanent unions. This advice may not meet with the approval of local labor leaders, but it will meet with the approval of all men who have had practical experience as members of labor union0. , Nothing is so disappointing to tho angler as to return home after a day's fishing Vith~an~empty c7eel~You may make elaborate preparations and take apparently everything that Is necessary, rod, line, reel, casts, flies, troll, bait, net and gaff, hut unless they are ' made of the right stuff. it is money thrown away.

The red " rag was waved;so continuously before "'the men that' a' strike had to come. k " Tho Gtrike was brought about to satis- "fy the real 'agitators' and stock job- ".bers in London, and it is being used " as a lever to bear the share market "]there, to serve the ends of the cor-.

" Stock jobbing, pure and simple, has " given mining in British Columbia a ".black eye. I am in full sympathy with "tho men in their fight for ?3 a day, "-and the mucker that cannot earn that " wage should not be ..employed in a " mine at Rossland. John McKane's iri- *' tervicw is cood, but ��� it does not go " far enough. The Tribune articles " **hoi'!d bo reprinted !n the London "���pa ess." There ic an element in Nelson and in the Mine Owners' Association who arc opposed to the effort that is being made to build a lead refinery in British Columbia. They claim the refinery "honld '*? l**:i!t by the government or by somo one other than the owners of tho Trail smelter, and they have even rtonc co far as to write letters to the members cf the Don: in ion government advising them to discourage private capital fiom undertaking the enterprise. The Mine Owners' Association, r.t the jr.oct:.*g held in Nelson this week, THOMSON STATIONEBY CO. Ltd Pianos to Rent. NFXSQN. R C placed itself on record ��>s in favor of the refinery being built at once by any company with sufficient capital to successfully carry on the industry, which was (-"linently sensible. No event would bring more outsiders from a distance to Nelson than the regatta of the North Pacific Coast Rowing Association. This year the regatta is being held on Shawnigan lake, thirty- odd miles or.t from Victoria on'the Es- ru'malt & Nanaimo railway, and the following boat clubs are represented: Poitland, Victoria, Vancouver.,and Nelson. An effort is", being made to get the regatta for Nelson next year, and it may be successful. The Nelson Boating Club has a crew at Shawnigan lake, and tomorrow they will contest in the junior four race. If they win, nothing will be too good for them when they return; but if they win both the race and the regatta meeting, then they can have the freedom of the city for at least a The Mine Owners' Association has drawn up a "Memorial to His Excellency the Governor General in Council," in which is recited all the troubles of the association and some troubles that are not of the association's. The burden of- the plaint' is that-taxation���pro- =vincial=and^Dominion���is^so^excessive^ that the mining industry in British Columbia is being strangled. The text of the Memorial is printed in full in today's Tribune. This will enable the people of Kootenay and Yale to judge of the questions at issue for themselves. In the opinion of The Tribune, un- proven contentions r.re so sandwiched between statements of fact that the Memorial will not have the weight at Ott^ya that it would have had had the truth been strictly adhered to. A Pauper Prince VIENNA, July 24.���Not only has baron Wall burg had all his household furniture and effects seized and sold at public auction for the benefit of his creditors, but he, his wife and their six choldren have become inmates of the poorhouse at Pesth, and. in spite of their membership in-the imperial family, figure today on the municipal registers of the Hungarian capital as paupers, depen'dent on public charity. The; baron is the son of the late archduke Ernest by his actress wife, who was created baroness Wallburg on his marriage. This marriage was regarded in Austria as morganatic, and as such the baron was debarred from inheriting any of the enormous wealth of his father, the archduke. The latter, however, made his home in Hungary, where most of his property was situated, and, according to Hungarian laws, all marriages are equal, and archduke Ernest's son was, therefore, entitled not only to his royal honors, but likewise to a considerable share of his property. This the imperial family declined to admit, and consequently the baron began legal proceedings, not for any recognition as a royal prince, but for tlie share of his father's property, to which he was entitled by Hungarian law, Owing to this the emperor cut off tlio small allowance which lie had been paying him, thereby reducing the hnron aiid his children to de.-*t:t'.:tio::. When the emucror was last In PeBth the baron in vain sought audience of him, and at length threw a petition into tho imperial carriage, be- j ing in consequence thereof arrested. He was, however, released after a few hours' detention. His wife is a Woman of humble orisin. A Cairo Hasheesh Joint. A German physician describes in a medical journal his visit to a. den of hasheesh smokers in Cairo. His guide was a donkey boy, who could speak German. In a dark and dirty alley they came to a lighted doorway. Entering, they passed through a room filled with men playing dominoes, to the smoking,, room. "Here," says the explorer, "we were welcomed like old acquaintances. The room was filled with smoke of peculiar aromatic odor and the smokers were in a very happy mood. On the walls were Arabic inscriptions and pictures of European beauties. In one corner was a stone bearing a mass of glowing coals. A man cut up some tobacco, another filled a clay pipe bowl with it, a third bit off little pieces of brown hasheesh paste and laid them on the tobacco, a fourth added some glowing coals and attached the bowl to a nai*- ghileh, or water pipe, which he then handed to his neighbor. The pipe passed from mouth to mouth, each man taking a few whiffs and expelling, the smoke from nose to mouth." The German physician declined the proffered pipe and ordered coffee. All the emokers talked and laughed incessantly. Most of them were young or middle-aged men. Suddenly an elderly man rose to his feet and stood staring at the floor, with a vacuous smile. He was a hasheesh wreck, ah imbecile. "He is a philosopher," said one of the others, and a general laugh followed. . The German visitors did not stay long. Their guide told them that the pipe would circulate until midnight, after which the smokers would fall into deep sleep. ^jtf��^��.��MG&A����,*lWMMfcM��&i^ ^^SC&cuw^^ f. ��-yiv iViAaa'fti yBr-^tS'-tag*-ii8*Tia&*5IE*-i5ft'-w*-i?'^* w*���uB'*-S*���Si'* Si * ���Si'*iri* fttih 00-00 -00- ^A'f*'0^'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'00'0W0'00~1^}' ^.*S?JS��?. h LADIES' SUNSHADES 8 W AT HALF PRICE.

Saving's Bank Branch OOBBKNT BATK OF INTEREST PAID, SIEGE OF PEKIN ROMANCE Reward of a Dashing Lieutenant. Blood and fire, long-drawn-out horror and suspense, famine and fear of death ���these and many other terrors shadowed'the historic siege of Pekin, a-year ago. A ghastly atmosphere for romance to hlossom in���yet, as has long been surmised hy many wise singers of songs and tellers of tales, romance has a way of doing that very thing. So it happened that while the group of young American.; women ��� under the charge of United States minister Conger were suffering thoseoften-descrihed days of mental torture and bodily privation, they were also, in the most natural way in the world, falling in love. The romance of Miss Mary Con- dit-Smith, sister of Mrs. Leonard Wood, who -was one of the besieged colony, and who has since become" a bride, is one instance. Now conies the news of the betrothal of Miss Laura Conger, eld- daughter of Mr. Conger, and, before.affliction' fell upon it, the belle of the United States legation in Pekin.' The young man who was fortunate .enough to form, one of the relief expedition and to play a hero's part in the eyes of the rescued Americans, .and who has now reaped so rich a reward, is lieutenant Fred B. Buchan of Troop K, Third cavalry, one of the fighting young soldiers whom the country sent to China. It is believed that the wedding will take place at an early date,., for lieutenant Buchan has; all the traditional impatience of lovers, and Miss Conger, in spite of her all-to-close observation of the horrors of war, thinks nothing can be more desirable than to be a soldier's bride.;. The secret has been; kept for . ��� a year, but since the recent announcement of the engagement the details of .the pretty story have leaked out one ,i.by'one. The time was ripe for heroes .'"'when lieutenant Buchan first Hashed his , sword in Miss Conger's delighted sight. Week after week the distressed foreigners had huddled .within their ���insecure shelter. Day by day slaughter ��� fire and 'Quillets became more and more familiar spectacles'. iBoxer horrors -were- as common as summer showers: Daily the specter of death'strode hearer. The food , supply was practically gone, hope was dying and communication with home or with any part of the world had Long been impossible. - So familiar, indaod, had the thought of death become that it seemed far less horrible than the possibility of capture by the Boxers. To avert all chance of this one unspeakable horror the women of the colony were daily schooled in methods of suicide, that they misht die rather than fall victims to the brutes from whom they could expect no mercy. And the strain of this horrible situation had beg.m months before the siege actually set in. "I tell you, they (all hate us," Laura Conger wrote home some weeks pre- ; yjous, "and'would be glad to see every ���white uerson out of China." Then, one heaven-sent day, came the rescue party, and, well to the front of jt, a tall, fearless figure of a certain young lieutenant.

The Congers have a special reason to delight in the affair, as they regard it in the light of a compensation to Laura for a tragedy which she has already suffered. Miss Conger is 29 years old, tall, graceful, fair-haired, a singularly gracious and lovely girl. But the sad look that you will sometimes notice iri~ her eyes is the result of an unfortunate marriage which she made as a young girl. Her husband, George Londrum, whom she had loved devotedly, proved altogether unworthy, and the marriage turned out a deplorable mistake.' After several years of misery, therefore, the girl secured a divorce and the right to- return to her maiden name.- Since then she has lived with her own family. George Londrom enlisted during the Spanish war, was wounded and died in a southern hospital. Wherever she has been, Laura Conger has been regarded as a brilliantly accomplished woman. She has been froni childhood something of a. mathematical urodigy and was for several years head bookkeeper in the Iowa state treasurer's office. She is a close friend and companion of her father and accompanied him on his last trip to.Brazil, when he was minister to that country. In Des Moines, where the engagement was announced, Miss Conger was very popular and the announcement of her happiness has been followed by a chorus of congratulations. Special Bargains IN Boots and Shoes Notwithstanding that there are two bankrupt stocks of boots and shoes now being offered in this city, T am prepared��� to meet the prices listed for same, and as my**, stock is fresh���just opened up���from the manufacturers, I would solicit an' inspection before purchasing. The results that I have obtained since advertising my discontinuance in business have been most satisfactory.

Whilo not actually engaged in obeying the orders of his superiors, his only thought peemecl to be the succor of the women of the legation. And such comfort as one young soldier could give them lieutenant Buchan saw to it that they promptly had. Lieutenant Buchan is a Kansan, His father is W, J. Buchan, a well-known lawyer and politician cf Kansas City. But Frederick Buchan hud never a fancy for the dusty stillness of a lawyer's office. Kansas is a state of dauntless men, and young Buchan's particular hero happened to be a doughty little man of the name of Funston, who )ias since become famous as a general. In Funston's footsteps, therefore, he was determined to tread. And his hei/oic conduct at the siege of Pekin was the . flrst step toward that career. Miss Cogger was not the only American who admired the lieutenant's bravery. And no, when the horrors of war had subsided somewhat and a few; wjeeks of comparative quiet having "made a nearer acquaintance possible between the two, lieutenant Buchan asked for Mr. and Mrs. Conger's sanction to the engagement. It was cordially given. Laura Conger's friends now laughingly relate how promptly she recovered from the hardships of the siege as soon as she had met and known lieutenant Buchan, for it was a love-at-flrst-sight affair, and file young people did not confide their ^ec-'gt at first. Indeed, Miss Conger's raditiflt, manner was noticed by her own ���iamiiYj who attributed it to the fact jthat she had been relieved from hunger. "La-.im is not strong," wrote minister Conger abjjtijt this time, "but much ���j-ettej* than when the trouble began. Horse meat and rice was the diet she needed," Which was, of cpurse, simply -jr. Quaint instance of parental humor. "Both the Buchans and the Congers are delighted with the engagement, and interchange of family felicitations is now well under way] Minister Conner stopped at Kansas City recently on his -yay to visit his brother in Arizona be- fWP sa.iling on the 15th from Sn.n Fran- cistw for China, and he visited the Buchan family at the same time. Miss Conger paid her first visit to the family ,of,hor betrothed soon after her return from China in May, when she spent several days at the Buchan summer WIS HAVK THK BEST FLIES AND THE BEST LEADERS MADE.

All but Two of the Nineteen Lots Sold Were Bid in at an Advance Above the Upset. Charles A. Waterman returned from New Denver last evening where he conducted a very successful sale of the government town lots which had been sold at the first salo of-*lots in the government townsite, but the bidders of which had neglected to complete their purchases. There were all told 4S lots offered for sale, the upset price of which aggregated $S400. Upon a number of them the original purchasers had placed improvements, the value of which the auctioneer appraised at $11,760. There were just nineteen lots sold, and the prices realized show that no' hardship was worked on the original purchasers, who were compelled by the sale to buy in for the second time the same lots, as the prices realized yesterday were in many instances loss than one-third of the prices paid at the original sale, so that those: who purchased in the first instance and lost their first payment in the end got their lots cheaper than ���; those who made all their-payments due under the first sale. The lots were all offered with an upset price of $100, and the terms of the sale were that no bid of less than $5 would be considered. Of the nineteen lots sold all but two were bid in at $5 advance on the upset price, and with but one or two ex-. ceptions the persons who had the improvements upon the lots bid the lots in.

Henry of Ainsworth, whose place of business was destroyed by fire on the 9th instant, in which the following compliment is paid to the companies mentioned for the liberal manner in which the loss was adjusted and the prompt manner in which the claim was paid: "I wish to thank the Phoenix and Western 'Insurance companies through you for tho very fair and reasonable adjustment of my loss and the prompt payment of the same." He is "Boston" O'Brien. Much has bei-n written, in the press of the United States and Canada concerning Edward O'Brien, the man who now awaits the death sentence in Dawfon upon charge of murder. Notice was first directed to the case of O'Brien by reason nf the heavy expense Incurred by the Canadian government in the fastening of the crinio of murder upen him, it boing g-merally known that the conviction of this raur- ���dcrer in the fnr north was not secured until an expenditure amounting up into the hundred thousands had been incurred. This was cited all through the press of the'United States as an evidence of th"* thorough manner In -v,"Ch the criminal law of the Dominion is administered. It now transpir-is, howei'e.-, that O'Brien is none other, than the celebrated '"E-rstoa" O'Brien.r who is known from one end of the Dominion to the other as an old tun-- sprinter. Eighteen years ago O'Brien was a resident o*; Ottwa. Ho was a bnckiayi*.- by trade. His'.claim as r. celebrity, how- eve.-, rested on his speed. lie wis reputed to be able to cover a h-iU mile in better time tWin any other sprinter in lhe country. In yie^arly ill's there was a hose team in-Ottawa, a volunteer organization that cuuld cover ine ground faster than a cyfl"nc. O'Brien was on the team, so was Sam Cassidy and several others who were speedy in their youth. The dj- ings of this bunch of world heaters an? still fresh in the mind:* of many. Mining Records, There was but one location recorded at the Nelson record oflice. yesterday: The Free Gold, on the north fork of Quartz creek, and two miles from Ymir. being a relocation of the Glasco, by F. S. Clements. Certificates of work were Issued to Francis O'Reilly on the Pearl and Mima mineral claims, and to Alexander Long on the Good Hope Fractional. (Continued from First Page.) eral claims and transfers of the same, the unfair imposition of timber dues and the tax for free miners' licenses tending to discourage prospecting for minerals. OPPRESSIVE LEGISLATION. 1. Eight hour law, the effect of which has been to increase the* cost of underground labor by about 16 per cent, which was passed by the provincial government during the last two days of a session; without any previous notice to the general public, the mine managers or the miners themselves. 2. Severe struggles between capital and labor originating through the eight hour law. These struggles accompanying the decline of the industry have changed, the former friendly relations to class antagonism, which leads to incessant urging of class legislation dangerous to the industry and communities dependent thereon. 3. Extension of the eight hour, lavFto ��� certain surface employes. 4. Unreasonable demands by the provincial government for information concerning private business for alleged statistical purposes. .?.'��� 5. Unwise technical provisions In Mines Inspection Act, one instance-of which is the new code of signals for shaft hoisting. This unnecessary interference with the most delicate and dangerous technical operation of mining was not asked for by'anyone or . justified on any grounds, and was framed by parties not practically acquainted with mining. It endangers life and restricts the-hoisting capacity of mines and was passed against the official protest of this association. 6. The steady increase of taxation and the continued urging of oppressive legislation so that mining capital is kept in constant apprehension and uncertainty as to further burdens. 7. The provincial "Master and Servant Act," which practically prohibits the employment of labor in any other province, notwithstanding the fact that labor for a new and unpopulated province must come from elsewhere. 8. The Dominion "Alien Act," prohibiting the engagement of labor in the United States, notwithstanding the fact that Canada hasonly a small supply of skilled miners and that the men required for developing the mining industry therefore must come mainly' from the mining regions of the United States. ''���-��� UNITED STATES-CUSTOMS. . United. States tariff duties on lead in ores and bullion, thereby shutting off the United States market for this product. We call attention to the fact that the sum total of these artificial burdens, due to human enactment, is not equaled in any mining region of the world. In individual capacity, and as an association, we have repeatedly informed the provincial government of our distress and petitioned for relief. These requests, together with those for a commission to investigate the industry have ���HitlTefto'per^ ignored. So far, from having, any prospect of relief every session of the legislature sees new additions to the load, and still more severe.legislation is being- ursed. Generally speaking, there is little hope for proper security for investors in British Columbia mines until this policy is changed and radical measures for relief adopted. We beg to record our appreciation of the fact that the special difficulties affecting the silver-lead industry, recently laid before the Dominion government, were by it afforded a' measure of relief, and trust that the present petition will receive no less favorable consideration. Your memorialists therefore humbly pray that, in,'view of the vast sums of Canadian aiid British capital now involved, the 'very existence of which is imperiled,, a royal commission be appointed to inquire into the conditions set forth herein with a view to recommending measures for relieving the mining inflhstry of British Columbia from many grievances complained of. The Sheriff Was Eight The last Issue of the Monetary Times contains the decision of the Ontario courts upon a question as to whether the sheriff could seize the proceeds of a bank check,, which had been placed on the bank counter and appropriated-'by the sheriff's officer before the execu'fibn debtor could get his hands upon it.i The case came up in Toronto. The debtor Called in at the branch of the Bank of Montreal and handed in a check for payment.'amounting to $63. The teller in the bank laid tho amount the check called for on.fth'e' counter in front of the debtor, but "before he could get his . hands upon it the sheriff's officer had it in his possession. The "debtor then sued the bank for the amount of-the check as well as the sheriff, butMthe case was given against him. ��� ���-a : ���"' ���I* ���"I* ���!* *b *b *b *b *$* *I" "I* *��* **���* �������� "I* "I" -b *b *b 'b * ���i* Classified advertisements in- -i- ���b -b ���b * ���f. .j. .��- .j. .j. .j. .jj .j. .j. .j. .j. -j. .j. .j. .j. .i. .j. .j.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-07-26 |
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. |
