ARLINGTON MILL NOW CRUSHING GOOD ORE. Property ia Such Shape That Shipments Will Provide" All Funds Required for Development. I The Hastings (British Columbia) Exploration Syndicate . is ��� meeting with every success in tho development of the Arlington, group of claims in the-Brie neighborhood, and the syndicate is now entering 11:1011 the period '���when returns may bo expected. .The concentrator and tramway,- recently erected; are -working smoothly, and the property is now in"such shape that the product "of the-mill, from ore taken out solely in the way of development/ will provide sufficient to keep up the management's present program for. thoroughly opening up; tho property. The syndicate has,-11 claims in the Arlington group upon which operations have been carried on for the past two or three years, there being upwards of- (iOOO feet of prospecting and development work done upon the gioup in this tune. This, genoially speaking, has bliown that the vein on tho property is,- rather" flat, 'nnd."tliat the . ore body is somewhat irregulir. The greater part of thc: work ^consists of tunnels, and so far the greatest depth attjincd upon the \ein is 170 feet. The values in the ore are chielly gold, and it was largely with a view~to e:\perimcntnig with their ticatment that the present stamp mill or concentrator.Svas erected. The values secured are in a quaitz carrying iron pyrites, with a little zinc blend'and galena, but cai rying as a rule no free gold. It appears to bo amenable to coarse concentration, which gives a very high class concentrate with values clnelly in gold and considerable silver values The piesent mill is, a comparatively small atfan, but it will answer the purpose for which it was built and will treat about 30"or <10 tons' per day, ac- ing to the character of the ore.' There is some of the oro which the management will ship in its crude state, and this with,, the concentrates from the mill aie at present coming to. the Nejsbn emclter fof-trer-tment,*- j.,.- .-���, > '. The mill itself Ms''sbme'vvliat':Unimtiar -ii its construction and design for ,this country, in that Tremaine,steam stamp-* aro used for crushing the ore." These in the opinion of the management were considered to be preferable to any other form of crushing, and the experience so far has upheld this view. The course of tieatmcHt in the Arlington mill is as follows- The ore passes from the bin nt the lower terminal of the liamway out on a sorting-belt, where the clean /'ore and waste -slate are sorted, out by hand. The ore that is to be concentrated is then passed to a Dodge crusher, and from theie to a No. 1 Tremaine steam stamp,. where it is -crushed' so that it will pass thiough a No. 5 mesh screen. * It is then elevated to trommels or revolving screens, where, it is sized for the jigs into which it passes. The jigs have three -products, "clean concentrates, clean tailings and middlings. The middlings areTthen:recrushed in a No, 2 Tremaine;:stamp, so that it will pass through a 25 mesh screen, and from-this-to-a^Wilfley-table-and-frue- vanncr'. One of the reasons why the Tremaine stamps were decided upon" for the crushing of tlie ore was. owing to the.presence'of considerable quantities of slate. They are used extensively upon a large-scale in the crushing of copper ores in the state of Michigan, but the Arlington syndicate is the first to experiment with them on a small scale foi*: the crushing of gold rock. Tho .tramway from the mine to the mill also has some new features in the way of mine trams. It is a two-bucket tram, with a span of 2100 feet, and is nt present moving 50 tons of ore in the day of 10 hours/the carrying capacity of oach bucket being 1100 pounds. Not only Is the tramway giving every satisfaction, but the. management has also tho satisfaction of knowing that they have probably the cheapest tramway over built'in the province Cor its size. An'old cable from the Hall Mines tramway wn3 used for the stationary rope, and the entire' cost was within ?2300. The English syndicate that is developing the Arlington is probably the most conservative operating in the -proyincdi' 'It has ample capital paid up for all.pur-' poses,*-and has quietly, pursued its poi^ icy /of, thorough development..and atr,' tractod as little"attention fj-.ani, the public as possible. -Now that everything is' in order, and working smoothly, regular shipments will be made, but there is. no necessity for 'crowding the property,' which: will continue to be developed to. the best advantage without respect to its output. There are now'employed at the mine and mill about 45 men, and in the milling of the ore already available,! and of. such as will be taken out in further proving up the property, it is expected .that an output of from GO to 100 tons per. month of high grade concentrates will be maintained, which will have a value sufficient to provide for the future development of the property and carry something over to the profit account as well. The development of the Arlington has been peculiarly difficult, hut' the syndicate has been remarkably fortunate in the choice of the men whom it has entrusted with the work of opening the property up, two of whom, Messrs. Bucke and Mackenzie, were pro- vented by death from witnessing the fruits of their well directed labors. It is reported from East Kootenay that J. J. Fluetot has taken a number Tricks of Brokers. ST. LOUIS, July 17��� Sensational admissions, have been'made-on the stand by Samuel A. Gaylord, senior member of the firm of G-tylbrd, Blessing & Co., which failed recently; -Mr. Gaylord, who is one.of the oldest.stock brokers here, admitted at. the hearing . before bankruptcy referee Coles that the firm had been practically.insolvent for two years and: had been doing business,on funds secured from local customers. Deals wherein ."ho...stock, over changed ..hands, being -i. mere matter of bookkeeping, in which- the -firm never forgot to charge up- commissions, margins and interest, were admitted by Mr. Gaylord, who also told of the employment of relatives' names arid the.use-of an- insane man'.--, namo::n the accounts. At.the. tP-ne of the failure* they were short $150,000 in bonds, face value, and over 6000 shares of stock in New York; 7 It was ^admitted by the witness that the failure wasdue to their own speculation,* by which they had hoped to win out and pay off their indebtedness,-estimated to .have been something near $200,000. As to the missing collateral, .left with the "firm" by customers, attached to promissory notes, Mr. Gaylord admitted that all.had been hypothecated with > banks as securities for loans to-the firm.

Situation Yesterday in the Industrial Centers Affected���English Interest in the Struggle, SNAKE RIVER PLACER MINES Confirmation of Rich Finds. BAKER CITY, Ore., July 17.���The dispute as to the find of gold in the basin of the Snake river, above Ontario, is settled beyond dispute, in the opinion ;of David Wilson,, a well known- mining man .who is bf.ek direct-.'from the scene of the big strike, and confiims all that lias: been said of: the riches of the new Eldorado. "I have beon operating on these low bars .on the Snake river for fine gold for many years," he said. "Mr. Singer, on whoso propeity the "recent rich dis- coveiy was made, has been working theie for the past six years or more." He ha-* undertaken to sink a, shaft to 'bedrock, but it is almost like putting a well in tho bed of the river. He is- -now down S7 feet.- I saw Mr. Singer in Spokane ^"on the Fourth. He told me that they struck values, partially in Ireo gold, at a depth of between 10 and 50-feet,'and that they found prac- .tically continuous values until, a depth of S7 fee't \vas reached, and tliat th'e val- fues> wer���e greater at the lower depth*5 .-"thanJhlgher\up.���, The-assaysTqf'-tlie ore., ^weut Jiom* $4 te--i��13- ,per ton? whicli would be $7 to. ?23���per cubic yard. Thes*- valuos wore, obtained in a conglomerate rock or cement formation thnt 's rf hard that it. requires..to be blasted, and there is every reason to suppose thai the same formation practically-.underlies that entire basin or territory...'..Mi*. Singer's idea was'that'the whole basin was a lake bed at one time. I saw ,T. S: Camp,' an engineer who has, loca'tec" about 3500 acres, arid has done his worl very thoroughly .and systematically. Hr is evidently the agent of some large syndicate that has'plenty of money to -put. up. He .told me that he found ���joinc conglomerate rock taken from the bottom of a well 42 feet deep, located near Roswell, and got -an assay from it ol $60.50-in.gold arid $3 in silver to the ton It was'the same kind of rock found-by Mr. Singer...- There are no towns.or im provements in the territory. I, should say that at least a thousand location*? have been made in the basin. Mr. Sing- _or_stated_that_thejargei*_portion-of_the_ gold is shot.gold, coarser than the ordinary Snake river fine gold, and average? $17 to the ounce, while the other-gold runs only from $12 to $14. About a month ago-I visited Mr. Baxter, assayer at Boise, who told.me that when Robert Wilson"sunk a well at the'Boise natato- rium for. hot water, and also when ������"ii well was sunk at the penitentiary, lie struck at a depth of 400 feet a strata of material. 100 feet deep which gave gold values running from $4 to $20 per ton.. This would be about the same level as the strata struck by Mr. Singer at a depth of 40 feet below the surface. There is a lot of. fine gold in the. Snake river valley, and I believe that it is of local origin,, by ?. system of ��� oxidation which liberated the gold in thjs underlying strata. Prom present indications, many wells will be sunk there soon. 7 expect to sink a shaft within-the town limits of ..Ontario'within thev next 30 days. The description of this deposit corresponds; exactly with the description which''!-secured pf the. celebrated Johannesburg deposit in South Africa', .which, before the-Boer war. .was. turning put $40,000,000 per year. The African deposit is about 12 by 60 miles in extent,, lies deep below the surface in the same formation and averages $10 to $15 to'the ton. London invested millions there before a pick was put in the ground, because it was known that only. the mechanical operation of extractinir and treating the gold was required. There in every reason to believe that the Eastern Oregon' and Idaho deposit is richer and much more extensive than the African deposit."

PITTSBURG, JULY 17.���According to figures compiled by the Pittsburg Dispatch, the steel-strike, is daily, costing the companies involved $210,000 and'the' wpi-kmen $16,000. Practically no stocks have been carried and the consumption has kept pace with the production for some little time past.: About 700 tons of the 1000 tons daily produced by the American- Sheet .Steel Company is being; lost; and this represents a loss each- day "to'Tthe combine.of at least $50,000. In -addition to these losses the many and! varied industries crippled now and in prospect represent losses to the men 1 of large sums that .cannot be compiled now. The Amalgamated men are said to have a fund of over $200,000 with which to keep the strike going, and the many Amalgamated men: employed in the various mills still operating will go a great way toward keeping the sinews of war in good condition. PITTSBURG, July 17.���'*"We have not heard from the other side at any time in any way or on any subject since we. r��-rted at the Lincoln Hotel last Saturday."- .This is'; the statement made by the. president bf -the Amalgamated- Association this evening, which ^disposes of rumors from New_ York 'today that the strike had been settled. Mr.Shaffer stated further that-mbactual negotiations were "on .between -president Bishop pf the Ohip State "Arbitration Bpard and himselfrtending toward arbitration. A letter received by "Mr. Shaffer from Mr, Bishpp asking if he weuld consent tp a reopening of the conference has not been answered as vyet. The principal events, in the day's strike history were the failure of the sheet steel people to reopen the Wells- 'ville plant with non-union men*, the offer of financial assistance made to the .Amalgamated Association by the. 200,- J000 - members pf the American Fedeia- .tion of Labor and J*y the American Winr ���dbw" *GHass >\Workers'~ Association^ ; the 'concerted" action of the "associatlonrto organize the immense steel plant at Van- dergraft and the fact.that several closed plants are being patrolled by. armed watchmen and guards. The Amalgamated officials tonight profess great satisfaction over the result'accomplished since the strike began, but officials of the company, as heretofore, will say hothin-r. WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 17.���The close of the second day of the stationary firemen's strike finds fully 33.000 miners idle in the Wyoming district of the anthracite co**.! region, whichv extends from Duryes to Nanticoke. The number of idle men was increased.today by, the suspension of railroad crews on nearly all coal branches. No coal is being mined, there is none.to haul to the breakers and consequently there is no work"for railroaders. The total number of men idle now in the whole anthracite'region is estimated at 65,000. There are 40,000 mine work- 'ers_in_the_La"ckawanna_region"rbut~th"ey are not all out. If the strike extends tp the Hazelton, Schuylkill and Shamo- kin' resrions, 130,0004- men may be idle before long. The tie-up in this region is complete and the strikers are much encouraged. The hoisting engineers held a, meeting in this city, this" afternoon and discussed the situation from their point of view. Although the meeting was secret, it is.learned from pretty reliable sources that the striking firemen received the moral support of those present. It is almost certain that none of the engineers will consent to take the'places of the striking firemen. PITTSTON, July 17���The mines in this section which are idle owing to the ���stationary engineers' strike are said to be filling with water, despite the ef7. forts of. officials, who ute themselves in engine rooms endeavoring to keep tlie- boilers warm. The operators are discharging the stationary engineers who refuse to take the strikers' places. The firemen have posted pickets about the mines to prevent a threatened importation of non-union men from Philadelphia. -. -. . SCRANTON, Pa., July. I7.r-There was an (almost complete cessation of mining operations today in the Lackawanna, valley because of the strike of stationary engineers. Less than half a dozen mines :managcd by. individual, owners and the group of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railway, mines in the West Scranton district were the only ones in satisfactory shape, for ruri'n'ing when the whistles blew this morning. Only six Delaware & Hudson collieries are in operation. Those idle involve 27;000 workmen. With the pumps idle, the flooding of most of the mines is threatened, involving a-destruction of property that will be enormous. NEW YORK, July 17.���President William H. Truesdale of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad made, the following statement today with reference to the situation in-the mines under the control of his-road: "There is no change in. the situation since yesterday. Up to the present the strikers have succeeded in closing only six of the mines, and we are not at all worried without them, for we can fill the places of .those who have struck at any time. However, the strike is not causing us any inconvenience. We shall take no steps at present, but when we are ready we shall fill the vacant places and go ahead as usual.". }2 NEW YORK,. July 17���The steel strike in America is attractlns much attention in England generqliy. and while long articles are being, printed. In the newspapers on the subject, ino comment is made in the editorial columns.

These are chiefly concerned ^ with West "Indian reciprocity arrangements." When asked if he thought there was any possibility of arriving at an agreement regarding the Nicaraguan canal before, congress reconvened' he replied: "Yes," I sincerely hope so.

He expressed sympathy with Mr. Hiy in the lbss of his son. When asked'if the joint commission is likely to sit again in Washington, he replied: "Yes, I think that it'iwill, although 'this "will * not occur, until after my return. The . joint commission has threshed but many points of difference between Canada and the United States, although the inability to agree as to the Alaska boundary and the sad death of lord.

It will be one of my aims- when I return to the United States to foster this desire for _l closer commer-, cial relationship between the Dominion and the United States. In spite of the trade-difficulties-bf both Canada and Newfoundland in dealing with the United States, I by no means despair of effecting some sort of a reciprocity scheme which, when, the Nicaragua * matter has been justly settled^and the West Indian treaties have been arranged, will bring Great Britain and. the United States even to a better basis of common undorstandinc than exists to��� 'rinw " "������ '--.! Missouri Town on Fire. KANSAS CITY, July 17���Marshall, Missouri, p. town of 5000 inhabitants on the Chicago & Alton railway, 50 miles east of Kansas City, is reported to bo burning. At 1:30 p. m. the correspondent of tho Associated Press wired: "The town is on fire and the people are almost hopeless. The Now York, one of the principal buildings here, is gone and the east side of the square is now burning. There is practically no water." At 1:45 all means of communication between Marshall and Kansts City was destroyed. Just before the Chicago & " Alton office in this city lost its wire at 1:30 the following was received from Marshall: "The fire started in the New York store at 12 o'clock and soon destroyed that building. In less than an hour's time it destroyed that side of the public square and has just jumped across the street. Aid has been- asked for from Slater and a special train bearing the fire lighting apparatus of that city has started." Not a drop of rain has fallen at Marshall in over a month. The temperature has remained at the 100 mark for 10 days past, and everything is dry as tinder. All vegetation has been literally burned up. At 2:30 p. m. the fire was reported under control. m i r H M J {lawlessness in Pekin.

Moreover, we observe from The Tribune that the *! per cen I tax Is levied upon lhe net earnings, whereas the mines in British Columbia aro not permitted to deduct frcm the gross amounl Ihey pay upon any of tho payments which they may incur for cost of mining- the ore. This as Is well known bears heavily upon the-British- Columbia mines, on account of tho high" costs of all mine supplies, such as powder, fuse, steel, etc., on this side of tha line. 1 We^ trust that you will, kindly publish "(his explanation regarding taxation, as we believe! -that The Tribtino will agree that it*. Is only fair in afl matters of this kind that both sides should bo heard. Tours truly, J. RODERICK ROBERTSON, Manager Ymh* Geld Mines, Limited. ~ Yesterday and the day before, The ���' Tribune gave the views of the.mana- - gers of two wholesale houses on the question of railway discrimination against Nelson. Both claimed that the ���" blanket iate on freight from.Eastern , and Coast wholesale points to points ' in Kootenay and Yale worked against Nelson as - a wholesale point. Today -' The Tribune obtained the views of a 1 ail way man on the question.- The railway man .said it was the policy of the company which he represented to divide the country into districts, and to mako rates to and from common points in these districts the same as rates to and from common points in competing districts. As an illustration: The rate from Eastern points to Winnipeg and fiom Winnipeg to common points in Kootenay and Yale is exactly the same as the rate from Eastern points to Nelson and from Nelson to common points in Kootenay and Yale. The same rule ' governs shipments from the .East to Vancouver ' and from -Vancouver to points in Kootenay and Yale. This places the Winnipeg wholesale merchant and the Nelson wholesale merchant on an equality, as far as freight rates go,' for the trade of Kootenay and Yale. The Vancouver and Victoria' wholesalers' are exactly on the same footing.' This holds ���good-on-ncarly-all=lines=of=staple=com~ modities. Asked asT to the practice of Eastern' and Coast wholesalers combining the orders of. several small,'.dealers in the same town and shipping them'-in on the carload ��� rate,: the'railway mail said that such could be 'done,, but he doubted very much if the wholesalers of Nelson could point to a single instance whore it had been -done'in any town outside of Nelson.' "Of course," lie said, " wo protect merchants like TI. Gicgericli "of Kaslo, William -"Hunter & "Co. of " Silverton, and Hunter Brothers bf " Rossland, who often purchase conimp-: " (lilies in carload lots, and they get the "samo rates as the Nelson wholesalers." From the above it will bo seen that tho railway companies'are doing the fair thing by the wholesale dealers in Nolson; or, tit least, as fair ns they can do under existing methods of operating rail ways. THOMSON STATIONERY CO. Ltd riK.vos to Rent. ��� - - NKLSON, B. C. ?8.S8- per ton. The company realized ?379.612.03 from this ore. The total cost of mining; milling, and transporting the ore was ?4.S4 a ton, oi\?206,87G.12. The company therefore had'$172,735.91 over 'and above all operating expenses. Three pei* cent on that sum would be .$5,182.07, which would,- had the mine been in Montana, have gone into the-treasury of that state as-taxes. Deducting , all the charges except mining- from- the value of the ore, leaves the value for taxation, under the laws of British Columbia, $6.17 1-3 a ton, or a total of $261,866.79. Two per cent on which is $5277.33, or'-just $95.20 more than would be paid under-the Montana system. But these ligures do not agree with figures prepared .by J. Roderick Robertson, manager of the Ymir Gold Mines, Limited, which are given in the following communication: : Latest Burglar Alarms A house fitted with the latest burglar alarm will be safe from the fraternity, if. they know of its presence, as soon as they have had'a very little experience of it. Tho house is provided with a sort of wire entanglement, so that it is impossible to open a window or door after, the apparatus has been set without setting the alarm going, ^and a most ���formidable alarm it is. In the first place,' a stream of air is discharged through a very powerful hooter, or buzzer, owing to a valve between the fog horn and a reservoir of compressed air being opened electrically. At the same time, too, a powerful electric lamp, placed outside the house in as inaccessible a position as possible to minimize as far as may bo the risk of its boing tampered with, is lighted up,- so that the police or others attracted by the piercing sound of the alarm, which can be heard at a great distance, are guided to the place where their services are required. It should be mentioned that only a person ln the house can stop a sounding of the alarm, whicli otherwise continues till the air stored in the reservoir is exhausted, say, an-hour or so. In.that time it can be guaranteed to arouse the entire neighborhood, even if Endymion-were included among them. It' is obvious th**.t tho contrivance will serve as-a fire alarm as well as against burglars by using a thermostatic arrangement, so that the alarm is set going when the wires get heated. This invention is most ingenious and well thought out in all its details, and may be depended upon as being as certain as it is emphatic in its action. It may handicap the noble profession of housebreaking very seriously, indeed, and add considerably to the hardships inherent to the lot of the. cracksman. ^Wgf*-' <*'0*% 00: 00' 00? 00 "2>' ^t^, *00*T%) ;*3r*2S 1*st*3&i. rjc ' X:7��f tot to\ axzxzjsxxzxxxxz Art baxr _"1 NEW B UNDERWEAR.

Commenting on the statement, The Tribune said the company, had its property been assessed as real estate, ; .would have paid a larger amount as taxes than it paid under the system of taxing the value of the ore 2 per cent. The Tribune also stated that there was little difference between the system of 7 taxing mines in Montana and the system in British Columbia. In Montana t.he tax is'fixed by statute at 3 per cent on the net proceeds realized from the ore mined. In British Columbia the tax is (also fixed by statute) at 2 per cent on the value of the ore, the only deduc- tion that- is allowed being the'veost of transporting the ore from the^mrne to . the mill or smelter and .tiie^.mill or. smelter charges. During .the:year 1900, the Ymir mine milled and shipped ��� 42,-r J-13 tons of ore of the average value ot NELSON, July 17.���To- thu Editcjr of The Tribune: We observe-ia one oC .the editorials anpeari:.!*. in yon1-, lb--ir\. of tl*e lo:\\ instant a reference to the mineral tax paid- b>; the Ymir mine, which reads In part as follows:. "If it had paid the 2 per cent tax for-the " whole year 1901 it , would have cald " IfDI.O'J more than if it had been taxed 3 " per cent upon-, tho net ear.nlngs;.whieh "is the rate of taxation in Montana." ,.'. ���JW--*��� -lo^not��� lenn-w���what���cxpenfllt uro��� Is. . provided .for under, the-3 per.pent-tax you. refer to, but,assume as you state that the present'ratejot- taxation in -Montana is 3 .per'cent upon the net earnings. AVe have, looked into the above.figures and find that the.mineral tax-paid.by:the Ymir company last year was as follows:, ?10(I8.S5 on a basis of I. per cent;'..$:i327.(H:.on a basis of 2. per cent, or a total of !"l:'0(i.l9 on account of mineral .product- for the year ending .'list December, li>00. If -tho Ymii: company.; had paid -2 per cent for tho entire year, bv-' stead r,f at the rate of 1 per ceul. to 30tli June nnd Tor the balance of the year at *.' per cent, tlie total tax paid by tho Ymir company would havo amounted to $IO(!S.sr> more than the above, on a total for the year of SPilli.'i.'M.

My subtracting this amount from the above $.,!fi5.3l we lind that IhcsAYmlr company would have paid under the 2 per cent run- and the conditions- levied by the British Columbia government $1)71.80 more than the company would have paid if assessed at the Montana rate of taxation referred to by The Tribune. This your ihe Ymir mine lias already for the six mount;' ending 30th June, 1001, paid a miieral tax amounting lo $-l"37.Mi, and assuming for argument that for tho second half of tho year the tax will be. n, more than for the lirst half, this will give ..Highly a tax for the pear of $85000. If, however, we calculate the tax paid for 1000 at $5,65.3! on the basis of the net prollts of-$M0,C!)2.S5, it will'seem that the Ymir company is paying a provincial mineral tax at the rate of 3.G5 per cent upon its net prollts, or 05'per cent, or two-thirds of 1 per csnl, higher than on the basis of the Montana ,tax. above referred' to.

A NEW FUEL. ,- An artificial fuel tliat can be manufactured, its inventor says, for 50 per cent less than coal, is announced by Dr. Henry W.'Morrow, chemist, of Wilmington, Delaware. For JS years lie has studied the experiments made by European and American scientists to find a substitute for coal. He had profited by their failures, according to a test witnessed by the representative of the New York Journal. Dr. Morrow has appar- j, cntly an article tliat will revolutionize the heating business. The artificial fuel is,composed of about 90 per cent of common earth. Any kind can be used. For domestic purposes Dr. Morrow thinks ordinary earth, such as is found in back yards, is preferable, while for high-draught fires, such as locomotives,, steamships a ���nel industrial establishments require, fuel made of clay is preferable, as it hardens better. To tlie earth is added about 3 per cent of >;oal tar, as a protection from the .voather. With the coal tar in the fuel a can be exposed to rain for any len-;"-h of lime without being damaged, ^i*. A5oii*ow has pieces of his fuel that has lain in water from two to three days without being impaired. A trile of bnwdiist is added, although it'is not necessary. It is merely added to the fuel for do.ncsti.* use so tliat it will burn "out ami nnke the fuel porous. To these parts is added the secret compound, which Dr. Morrow says *'I hr.ve b?'ck*of my ers.. aud [ will keep it there until somebody pays me for it." The fuel with which a demonstration vp.s m*\fle w**s manufactured in a hand mold in Dr. "Morrow's laboratory. It was in the shape of small bricks. Each weighed throe ounces. When placed on, a lire they burn with an intcnsc"hoat. According; to tho experiments the artificial fuel under an ordinary draught such as used in houses will burn from four to six, hours. Under a, forced draught it will last from two to,four hours longer than coal. Another point in favor of the fuel is ihat it throws off no smoke, gas or vapor. When lirst placed- on a lire it takes about 90 secoiulf* fpr the coal tai* in the bricks'to be consumed and after that th,ore is not the slightest odor, but the" fire burns" intensely with a small blue Jlnine. At the demonstration a fire of wood was kindled in an ordinary cook stove. On k>p of the wood was thrown about 20 little bricks���"eggetts," the in- vontor calls them���of the artificial fuel. In loss than 20 minute*- these bricks were glowing at a whito heat. Thoy kept cleaning themselves, for as the (Ire burns the outer surface, bricks gradually peeled off, always lr " .hg a bright white heat surface. Thei /were no clinkers, everything being reduced to the finest ilits), and falling- into an ash pan. As to the post of manufacture Dr. Morrow hits mtide whafc he considers a liberal estimate. Earth eosj.s almost nothing; coal tar is very cheap, for tlie barrel in which it is carried costs more than the tar itself. The secret ingredients arc staple articles that are inexpensive. Dr. Morro-w, in his 'estimate of manufacture, has figured the cost of a plant, the cost of hauling the dirt, a big inter- _est_on=_the_-japital .invested ,_and_says_the_ fuel can be easily manufactured 50 per cent less than coal now costs, .A Novel Proposition. The Denver doctors wish to pass a law for killing off all imbecile children. These doctors are known as among the most progressive in the country, owing ,to their city being a resort for invalids, and in making this proposition they seem to be living up to their reputation. ������The-proposition is now before the Colorado State Medical Society, which has been holding its annual convention. The consumption problem has been an especial study, and Dr. Charles Denison formulated rules of marriage to avoid consumptive offsprings which have been generally indorsed by the society. They are in part as follows: Find tho proportion of all the mother's and father's and their married brothers' and sisters' children-born���i. C, the person's parents', uncles' and aunts' children���who were living at five years of age, First���Then .(excluding deaths wholly attributable to accident or having nothing to do with, disease), if less than 80 per cent of such children were alive at that age there is reason to suspect- a weak strain in that lineage. Second���If less than 60 per' cent of such progeny .were then alive, there iy strong .proof of \such. degeneration. Third���Add to this, or consider it separately, that either the person's mother or father or any two of his or her grandparents, "uncles, .aunts, ..-.brothers' or sisters died of consumption, cancer or scrofula, then the proof of some defective biology in that family strain is still more evident. * Fourth���Add to this that the person's' health is not good, even so little defective as "never very robust," of the person now,flat-chested and uuder weight, then his or her fitness-for, .parentage is still more impaired. ,'���' :;' It is Dr. Dennison who wishes to exterminate imbecile children;- The suggestion is embodied in the following petition drawn by himself and submitted to the society; "To the Legislature of the State of : Your petitioners, and .husband and wife, residents of the town of State of Robt.

HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. respectfully represent that one of their six children, a daughter aged 20 years, is a hopeless imbecile, a groveling idiot, not susceptible of any education and not possessed of any knowledge of right or wrong or 6f cause and effect; that her existence has been a -burden to all her relatives; her presence in the family circle has been a blight upon an otherwise happy home and a great discouragement and positive injury to the lives of her brothers and sisters. Your petitioners further represent that they believe this affliction was caused by a fright of .the mother; that while' no blame is attached to this creature's parents for hor being, the laws of the state do not recognize the right of her parents nor is-it the duty of anyone in authority to have her life taken that this worse than useless existence may be brought to an end (by such painless, and by her undetected, means as gradual suffocation by carbonic acid gas). Your petitioners, therefore, believing- the state to be responsible under these circumstances, humbly ask your honorable body to tnke this matter in hand, to have a commission appointed to examine into'the true state of this creature's mind-and body, and if the within facts and statements are thereby verified, to carry out said painless extermination of this defective life." .. - Capital Rest $2,600,000 $1,850,000.

Diekinr son of New York, who. with her. husband, captain Dickinson, is visiting Catalina for the summer, landed unassisted a 216-pound tuna, the largest of tho last two seasons, and tho second in size ever caught there. Having landed a tuna in excess of 100 pounds weight Mrs. Dickinson is now eligible to membership -in the world famous Tuna Club. Captain.and Mrs. Dickinson left the beach early in th,e morning and when about three miles off tbey ran into a school of leaping fish. .Mrs. Dickinson's reel soon began to sing its" merry song as a tuna took yard after yard with him. Then began a L'attlo between the seafish and the sportswoman. Reeling in, giving away line, and the same double process over and over again for 45 minutes, her arms wero cramped, from the severe physical strain, Mrs. Dickinson fought her first tuna to a successful finish, conquering it without assistance from boatman or husband.* Landing a tuna, the greatest game fish that swims, is the most difficult feat known to devotee-* of ihe rod and reel.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-07-18 |
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. |
