SUGGESTS A PROPOSITION THAT WILL CONFORM TO MUNICIPAL ACT/ The consideration of the proposed agreement for the taking of the West p Kootenay Power & Light Company into partnership with the city in the lighting business was the chief business en- i gaging the attention of the city council at tho meeting last evening! Tbis question was introduced by the reading of the petition calling upon the council to submit for the vote of the ratepayers the deal that has boon framed between tho mombeis of the council and ttu. pov.er company. A.; was intimated in The Tribune some days ago, the proposition for the taking in of the power company as a partner of the city in the lighting business is illegal, but the city •solicitor has found a way around tho dif- Jiculty 'so that the power company, while not appearing as such, will to al! intents and purpose- be a partner of the' city in the lighting business. When the -petition»of the ratepayers calling upon the council to submit _tho oy-law was read alderman Madden raised .the question as tp --whether the proposition {as, submitted at the .last meeting of tlie city" council was legal. Ho said he had heaid^it stated that the '■relationship -proposed «was not m _ac- cor'dance with the,1 terms" of the Mum-' ' cipal Act, and as the city .solicitor was present he'thought it desirable to have" n,n opinion from him before tbe matter, proceeded any further, tt r. ply to this the n ayor stated that this pbace of the auestion could_ come up later. It was , then Acc.'**Pd', ,"Ppn motion. of alderman Paterson. seconded'by alderman Hamil- to.i. to ii-fic^uce a by-lay/, and upon motion cf alderman Selous,-; seconded bj alderman GillettXthe? by-law was intro_, duced*and lead a-first-time. ..AsMjrtrpj* duced the by-law differed un some, respects-* with that submitted, at ,the previous meeting<of'the otty-council, anc( for * this reason explanations' were In- order. They came from the-.city solicitor," who explained that tho proposition of the city council as outlinedsak, the previous, meeting of the council -v^as'illegal, in that the city could not take "in any company as a paitner with it in the lighting of the city. Another fatal ol.-., section to the scheme as first outlined was that the city could not bind' itself, Lo any outside company to charge a given late for -electric lighting. This was a surprise to several of the aldermen, but thoy recovered their-composure when the solicitor explained 'the manner in which he had got around the provision of the Municipal Act. With ic-spect to the percentage* agreement'ihe means adopted by the. solicitor was to figure out what the amount coming to tho power company would be under ■such proposed arrangement and to —fcavo-this amount set out as'-the.amou-it payable to the power company for its _>brvices. The second difficulty wa. got around by leaving the rate to be charged by the city open. The amount payablo to the company is fixed, but the power rests with the company to either raise or lower the rate. In case the rate is raised the city will be the ftainer, tut in case'the rate is lowered the city will be the loser. After the city solicitor had made thes" explanation aldeiman Scions diiecte. tho attention of the council to the fact that there was nothing in tho by-law as submitted with respect to street light ing. His recollection of the matter wa. that Mr. Campbell of tne powr-r company had n;.i*eed to furnish the city with •street lightiug up to 50 horse power at -the mte of $3 per month per horse power Mayor Fletcher suggested that 11 •would he a good scheme to put the by- , How through its flrst and second readings and then make such amendments in it p" may be' dee.ncd advisable, an observation whicli called lorth the rc- icm irk from alderman Selous to the effect that it apueared to him that the hv-law would have to be picked to jpieces Alderman Madden asked how tho ft-h.tnged terms of the hy lav/ would af feet the city with respect to bad dob's. hi appealed to him that in switching &_roi_i the percentage basi.-? bf net returns tc -i fixed sum the city would be k lied upca to pay the power company fc*-, o*-oT--r>rtion whether the full amount of ihe rentals were received by the city .oi not ( ..

Alderman Madden again raised his loint. with --respect to bad debts and .few.'from alderman SelouB-.the ■remark hot:in his opinion tho city should hs -.sponsible for all bad debts after tho for the city should turn off the service. It being generally "understood that the by-l_w was not ln presentable shape it was decided to postpone further consideration of it until Thursday evening at 8 o'olock. , Tho communication of H. G. Sheppard of the Lad. smith permanent relief committee, asking for assistance for the sufferers of the recent mining explosion, was leceived and filed. The petition of II. B? Mclntyre and others for a sidewalk on Mill street between. Hondryx and Cedar streets was referred t*> the public works committee'. On the .'uggcstion of the tnaj or it was decided to lav a 6-incu water main on Vernon street, from Stanley to Ward, and to open the alleyway in the rear of tho Humo hotel. The alleyway in the reor of W. P Robinson's property will also be opened up. It was ("ecided to spend ?50 in removing ihe log jam in Cottonwood creek •_ quarter of a mile this side of the "old sawmill. The request of Mr. Linblad for limber for tho construction of a drain was referred to the city engineer. OYER $76,000 IN STAMPS Stolen From 01.ic.igo Postoffice. CHICAGO, October. 21.—Burglars last night stole ?76,000 worth of stamps from the Chicago postoffice and escaped ""without leaving the slightest trace or clue. A tunnel which had taken more than a week to complete was run from the rear of the building and a hole was .then drilled through the1 bottom.of the "wholesale stamp vault. There? were ninety-seven**1- small holes1 around 'the square plate cut out and some of the drilling looked several days , old. . The stamp vault was only six feet away from the cashier's vault, which contained over $300,000 in cash! The latter had evidontly been the "objective point. •• Postoffice inspector Stuart said: "It was the largest^ stamp robbery ever committed in the^ history-.of the postal servico ,in this country. To get to the vault* the men dug through the brick foundation wall, and a hundred feet or ,so further-on-they encountered another wall and this also they dug through. On the way they met with a number - ol. pipes and as the floor is but two feet and in,'some places three feet above the ground they' tunneled* under .the'pipes? Their whole course is plainly marked in this way. l The wholesale stamp vault,, like the cashier's vault1 and r the money, order vault, is'supported by a brick wall. . Informs.a square and,before the'rob- t'hery was air. tight In this the robbers broke two holes possibly to»secure more air, for the place undoubtedly was'very foul, or to have an extra place of egress in case of discovery. For light they-, used a dry battery, one of whicli they left be- ;hind. The battery and the wagon tracks are the only clues, we have at present. shot across the line only two feet ahead of the juniors. The gentlemen eight was about half a length behind. The time was 4:20. The second event was between the academic and scientific school freshmen crews and this raco up to the last hundred yards was as close as its predecessor. From ,this point on, however, the academic eight gradually pulled away and finished a good length ahead. Time 4:33. The final was between the winners of the two preceding races and was won by^the sophomores. The gentlemen "eighty consisting/of sev-. eral varsity oarsmen, >paced the-crews.' The sophomores from about.half the distance down the course slowly but surely crept"away from the< first-year men and won the raco by about three-quarters of a length.' Time 4:23. DUKE'S GOOD-BYE ' Canditates for Cardinal LONDON, October 21.—Candidates for the "purple" at the 'consistory which the pope usually holds about Christmas time, according to the Rome correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, are arising everywhere, their numbers seeming to increase in proportion' to the distance from** Rome." The United States, for instance, besides the candidates of long standing, archbishops Corregan and Ireland, two opposite factions.in the American Roman Catholic church, has on this occasion, two additional'aspirants for the red hat.'- There are ^only four vacancies in the college of cardinals and the American prelates are thought to have few chances, of. selection,^ as, the pope is credited with a (.determination" not to have more than one cardinal in the United States, fearing-that the friction and antagonism would be difficult to harmonize and might be" fatal to. Catholicism in America. t Z CORDIALLY THANKS CANA^ ""'; DIAfo^OPLE. :_ IMPRESSED WITH THE LOYALTY/ '''HOSPITALITY AND RESOURCES )" HOT THE'DOMINION. * . •: >■ Astor's.

American Competitor f. r R. n!ey. NEW YORK, October 21.—New York oarsmen are keenly interested in the proposition which has attained some, proportions to send Constance S., Titus, a member of the Union Boat Club, to Henley next year to compete for the diamond sculls, says the Times. Titus, who originally hailed from New Orleans,, gained prominence last year when he won the association single scull race in the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, which victory practically declares him as the champion amateur sculler pf America. E. H. Teneycke is really the champion, but -he-has'announced_his-determination_to_ retire from rowing competition. When ho won the championship race last summer tlie Union Boat Club honored Titus with a life membership in the club. A special meeting of the club has been called for Sunday to devise means for raising funds necessary to send Titus abroad to compete for the diamond sculls. The friends of Mr. Titus express confidence that the mpney will be raised. > Bourassa .Ridicules Royalty. MONTREAL, October 21.—Mr. Bour- assa, M.P. for Labelle, whose attitude on South African contingents gained him much notoriety", was the principal speaker at a meeting here tonight, held to celebrate tho anniversary of a pioneer newspaper. There was a largo attendance. J. A. Chicoyne, M.L.A. for Wolfe, presided. Bouraasa's subject was Great Britain and Canada. 0ilo took oc-' casion to make a violent attack on Great Britain for her action in South Africa. He said it was unjustifiable and due to Chamberlain and a few others, He ridiculed Chamberlain and the royal family, and said war had shown how weak Great Britain reallj was./^England's army was worthless and it was not known what her navy was worth, as it had not been tried. No nation is now afraid of Great Britain. He denounced acceptance of titles by Canadians and said the constitution should be so amended as to prevent a .Canadian accepting imperial honors. .He believed a connection should be maintained J.etween Canada and Great Britain. He di*} not believe in independence .or annexation, as the latter would be death to the French te.£$.4 ' ■" ' Two Killed 'Outright. WACO, Texas, 'October 21. — The fiercest street duel that has been fought in this section since 'the famous Brann- Davis tragedy occurred shortly after one o'clock this afternoon on Augustine a'vef nue, the busiest thoroughfare in the city. The principals in ihe affray were cx- sherife T. Harris and his son, W. T. Harris, on one side, and Dr. G. Lovelace and his stepson, Z. R. Rinolds, on\he other; It, is 'said that bad feeling existed between the men for some time over family affairs. Tho parties met by chance in the Turf saloon and young Harris, it is alleged, opened fire with a shptgun on Lovelace over his (Harris) father's -shoulder-but—without-=^_.ect.—Lovelace^ immediately returned the fire with a revolver, killing young Harris almost in-, stantly. Lovelace then turned his revolver ou the older Harris who, likewise was killed. Lovelace and Rirolds were uninjured. They immediately gave themselves up and are-now in the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury, which is in session. W. T. Harris, senior, was for six years sheriff of this county and made an excellent reputation. > At the time of his death he was engaged in farming. The younger Harris for a number of years was connected with the Provident National bank of this city, but more recently he has been with the Cotton Belt railroad. Dr. Lovelace is a practicing physician of this county, while-Rinolds is a farmer. The principals were all related in some degree by marriage. W.t T. Harris, Jr., was unmarried, while the elder Harris leaves a widow and two married daughters.

I recognize this >as a proof of-strong personal loy-, ,alty to .the throne,', as, well as the deep-,' seated .devption ,on the part of the people ot Canada,„to ,that,unity of empire which..the crown ^.is^the symbol..

Wherever we have been the police,duties were admirably carried outiand.,we wish to express our special obligation^ the commissioner of ,the Dominion police, and other police officials for. the important responsibilities devolving upon them. Short as unfortunately our., stay m West Canada had to be, it'was sufficient for us -to understand something of its boundless possibilities .and the - scope which it affords to those who with k spirit, enterprise, determinatiqn airfi willingness to work desire- to seek, a wider, less crowded and licher field than that offered by the congested industries and professions of the mother country. I trust,that these po.sibiliities may be taken advantage of in ,the future and -that.suitable_emigrants_from-the-moth-. er country may come m larger numbers. At Calgary we witnessed a large and representative gathering , of , Indians. Then and on other occasions addresses were presented from different tribes. I was glad to hear of the progress they have made and of the contentment ln which they live under the arrangements made for their benefit by the l^ominioa government. One of the most important features of our visit was the enormous distance traversed by rail and we feel a difficulty in adequately thanking the Dominion 1 government for all that Avas organized and efficiently carried out for railway journeys. The train built specially for that purpose was a maryel of convenience and comfort and nothing seems to havo been forgotten which might tend to reduce the fatigue inseparable from such a long journey. Special facilities were afforded to enable 'is to see the most striking points of interest in the vast reeions of magniflclent scenery through which'we passed, while we received every possiole courtesy and attention from the officials and servants of the company. To the authorities of the Giand Trunk and Intercolonial railways, also, our special thanks are due .for all the trouble and consideration which they devoted to providing for the part of our jqurney which lay over their lines and the efficiency and success with which all the services were performed. We hope that the public did not suffer on account of arrangements made for our tra.cling, which, perhaps, necessitated some interference with the general traffic." I am specially anxious to record my appreciation of the splendid force of the Northwest mounted police. I had the pleasure of inspecting a portion of the force at Calgary and was much struck with the smart appearance of both men and horses and with their geneial stoadine_. on parade. They furnished escor"! throughout our stay ih West Canada, frequently horsed our. carriage . and found the transport, all of which duties were performed with a willingness and in a highly creditable manner.. The re- ,.view3 which were held at Quebec, Tor- en^ and Halifax enabled me to-judge of this in-ltyiin' paPacityyof the Dominion; and of the BpleHdid ipfl|9j-ia} ?vt its disposa.1, many of the corps" showed smartness and soldierlike. bearing; I .yyyas: glad to find thaf; a f^ld: hospital pr- gftj-izat. oil, lias been p. ovided -as alsp a company of engineers. I was much interested in our visit to the royal military college at Kingston to see what excellent provision the Dominion government has made available for the preliminary military education of its military officers. Every country now recognizes tho necessity 'of securing, the greatest possible n.ilitary effl-iency in return lor its outlay of defense, and the material at hand should not be sacri- ^ficed for the sake of .inadequate train- *ing;'and leading, which can best.be secured by a fully qualified staff. I was delighted .with having,.the, opportunity of presenting a large number of medals, to officers and men for service in South Africa and it was very gratifying to see" with' what enthusiasm they .were received by their fellow citizens., It was a great, pleasure to us to be accompanied throughout our journey' by the distinguished premier of the Dominion, ^aud as It-- must have been "done at a^ great personal inconvenience, we areJ''all, the more" gratified to~ sir Wilfrid Laurier for' his" valuable help" and * companionship.'Finally, to lady Minto and yourself 'we wish to express our most' sincere, thanks for the unfailing-, kindness ■ and generous hospitality which'we have , received'as your guests and also^for.the 'great pleasure and valuable assistance -that, we realized in the presence of^ either lady Minto or both your_excel- .lencies during our long journey." I am .further anxious to record my thanks to" ■ major Maude for the eflicient manner in which he and the,rest,of our staff,dealt with the'exceptionally hard work and overcame'the numerous difficulties-connected with our tour, and for.all,that they, ,-iave done to help me-and my own staff. We wish it had been possible to remain longer in Canada and by'availing'ourselves of many pressing invitations received from,different centers to have;become acquainted mon_#intimate- 'lyvwith its various districts/and Jts people.

These men, elected to ^safeguard, the interests of Nelson at all times and under all circumstances, have fallen down before and are now worshipping at the feet of a company that is doing its utmost to-kill municipal ownership of public utilities. They do' this, too, at a time when the city's efforts to secure a site for a power station on Kootenay river is being fought by the company to whom they are willing to transfer the business of electric lighting in Nelson. These.men are willing to close down the city's electric lighting plant, a plant that is earning the city ?2000 . a month, at an. expense of less than $250 a month, in order to enter Into a contract with the West JS_ootenay Power & Light Company; bjr. One of the best known public men in .Canada, Nicholas Flood Davin, is'dead by his own hand. The deed was done at Winnipeg on- Friday 'afternoon,- yet it was not considered of, enough importance to wire any r_ewspaper in Kootenay. Is it any wonder that the men who are trying to make newspapers at Nelson and Rosffland sometimes wish their newspapers were in hades. Th'e only - Vancouver..nowspaper that treats' VJoe" Martin with any degree of fairness-- is the News-Advertiser, although its editor is'not "at,all friendly to Ithat "eminent statesman. -The trouble with-the Province arid.the World is, they'both sacrifice truth* in order to be sensational. ���<���_-'.*";-' ~* Six months ago,'the'man who is now editor'.of the Vancouver ;V/orld was writing fulsome puffs, of premier.

' ��� i ���< Coronation Eegulatiohs. ' , The rules and regulations governing what is to.be worn at thecoronation of ,King Edward next year has just been- issued >byi'the', earl marshal. Among other things, there is a curious graduation'in the fur-trimmings of the robes, which emphasizes the fine distinctions- existing,'in" the ranks of the ars'tocracy. All the peers have been notified that itheir robes" must be of "crimson-velvet, edged with minever, the *cape furred -with~minever-pure.=and���powdered_with_ bars or rows *of ermine, according to their'degree." Here follow the numerical graduations distinguishing between the ranks. Barons are allowed two rows of ermine, viscounts two and a half rows, earls three rows, and dukes four rows. All, the mantles and robes must be worn over - full court-dress, uniform, or regimentals. The earl marshal's order banishes counterfeit pearls and all jewels from coronets, wliich are to be "silver gilt, tho caps of crimson velvet, turned up with ermine, with gold tassels on top. No jewels or precious stones are to be set in coronets, nor counterfeits of pearls instead of silver balls." The number of the latter permitted revives a' nice sense of distinction. A baron's coronet bears six- silver balls, a viscount's sixteen,' an earl's eight (with gold strawberry leaves between), a marquis's four balls and four leaves alternately; a duke's coronet has no balls and has only eight gold strawberry leaves. Tho earl marshal next prescribes the robes, mantles, and coronets to be worn by the peeresses. These are of the same material as the men's, with similar graduations in the number of bars of ermine and balls.' The length of the train marks the difference in rank. A baroness is allowed a train of only three feet, a viscountess has one and a quarter yards, countesses have one and a half yards, a marchioness has one and three-quarter, yards, and a duchess |;wo yards.

The Canadian Mining Keview, pub- " hshed at Ottawa, is slating the Granb. Mining Company. 'It says that the Granby company is overcapitalized, that it* i oro doss not pay to work; in tact, that the company is a gigantic flotation to j lob the public. The Review article has I been reprinted in the Coast newspapers, which may lesult in injury to the coun- ' try ir the misleading statements therein Iait not refuted. The Tribune's regulai ' correspondent at Greenwood, E. Jacobs, |]__ s undertaken the task. The following n.-i:-om his-pen: GREENWOOD, October 19.���[Special Correspondence of The Tribune.J���Ai one whose particular business it is, in ������ny capacity of special correspondent in Iho i-oumlaiy distnct for several news- wpeis and mining journals, to keep well informed respecting its mining and smelting'- industries, I may be permitted lb make some comment" ou an article that*recently appeared;.]]! the Canadian Mining-Review regarding*tlie operations ,-j'f ** the Granby Consolidated J'uning; Smelting & Power-Company, Limited, the more so. since on the. 3rd instant -fa., tl. C. Miner,':'''president of the Granby company, in granting, my request for a ,-_���.{_��� with him respecting the: article, told me that the directors of the com- ban'y were treating it with tno iaiiiffer- enco they considered, from its naturo, jt ���deserved. In talcing up this matter I tun more concerned about the effect tins criticism, which I think'I shall show is |.'iot warranted by the facts of the case, nay have upon the mining Industry.ot- *ho district, ttiajiupon the Granby com- iany; which is?well able to take its owu iart v/henever-its- management shall tiinlc it necessary,to do so. The Granby ;o__ipany's mining and ysmelting indus- 'res lieingrby far.the largest in the dis- Boundary district prior to the publication of the Review's criticism, nor had I seen any reference made to it in any of the provincial newspapeis that came under my notice. Mr. Miners leply to my enqun y as to the truth or untruth of the statement alleging a proposed increase of capital was "We never even thought of raising the capital of the company above its presont amount of ?15,000,000. Why should we when we have one-fourth of the capital stock intact in the treasury available "for the advancement of the company's interests should occasion arise?" (2) "It is an undoubted fact that the prosent capitalization of $15,000,000 is enormously in excess ot the value of the property." In this connection I remark that tne -shareholdei s.of_the four_companies_that_ combined do not seem to have thought so, since they ratified the schemo of consolidation. I am informed that they received, pro rata, thi ee-fourths ot the now stock and that none was offeied lor salp to tho public. (3) "It is a well known fact that the total expenditure in cash both for pui- chase and development of all the ���properties in'the Granby smelter group, in- duding the smelter itself, does not. exceed one million dollars and when in the early months of this-year the representatives of-this company,. J.. P. Graves and 'A, J>. White, were in New York negotiating for the sale of the property, or at any rate exchanging pour parlers; with the Amalgamated gopper Company having that object in vieAy, the latter could not be induced to give as much as two million dollars for the property." Tp this I reply that I have definite assurance tJiat the cash expended to date on the company's properties is about ?1,500,000. Tliis dpes not, though, represent their value, for a considerable proportion of the original consideration for the mineral claims was in stock, whilst a large and valuable tract of land (situate near-Grand Forks) was received as a smelter bonus or subsidy without any lift it seems inadvisable*that judgment cash therefor?; further, that the tow^of '"hall be permitted to? go against ut, and Phoenix is partly on the company s m_n- ;Urou"*h It'' against the district, by de-1! eral claims, adc__ig.: very largely to^their |-_ult.'-. '.'���' '���:������'- ������'���' li Perhaps: the "simplest way* to endeavor lo show the Granby company in what 1 Link to be afai r,er light wil-.be. to take. IL-iatim the statements���of, rather, mis-: Fakements, as most of them appear to [jo to be���to which I take exception and ���ike some comment on them succes- Bveiv as I go. I Will premise, though, V stating that Mr. Miner ��� assured me Kost positively that every statement Meeting on the Granby company in the 1-ticle under notice is -absolutely take, bave selected the following allegations, W which I comment as under: ���... im '��� "Considerable interest is aroused I. British Columbia by the announcement that?:tl)S Granby smelter people B'ntemplates an Increase m their capital, Sising it from fif tee:, million to twenty iillion dollars and thos.c who aro best Kilo to judge consider the proposal a i|rcical one in view of Jhe past nf story It the. company." * - ?. m liAs to the "considerable -interest- * 1 surface value. : As to the alleged attempts to sell, Mr. Miner assured me that the directors had not tried to sgU the property; oh the contrary they had . declined offers,.* .yh. ch they, had fully satisfied themselves, were bona fide and backed by the necessary, capital, for the purchase of the property, at miiQii..higher figures than the $2,000,000 mentioned. (4) "No authoritative statement has yet been given as tp the, average value per ton of ore treated although the smelter has been in operation since la. t year- Repeated applications have been made to the company by shareholders for this information but i+.'h89 bepn.refused for motives of policy.". Mr. Miner stated to mo that ?lo shareholder had been refused information that he was reasonably entitled to. Statements of receipts and ��� expenditures had been submitter! to general meetings of shareholders whenever'. required by the provisions governing tho conduct of the financial affairs of the several com live only to remark I had not heard any I. panics now consolidated. 'When presld- jentio-j'.'atall. -poadeof this matter in tbo ing over general meetings be had on sev eral occasions stated to shareholders present that the ore was yielding a profit, hut just what that profit was the directors were not yet prepared to make public. In adopting this attitude at the present stage of their undertaking the directois considerod they were conserving the best interests of the company and were only doing the same as other manufacturing concerns wheh do not divulge details of the cost of production (5) "If, as is curiently believed by thoso in*the best position to judge the averago gross value _of the ore treated docs not exceed five dollais, it is doubtful if operations are not being carried on at a positive loss." ' i Perhaps the most effective reply 'to this is contained in the following excerpt from a en cular, dated August 12, sent to shareholders with their stock m the new consolidated company. "Instead of" striving to pay dividends > before your property was fully developed, it has been the desire of your directors, and to this end evei y effort has been made, to equip and put the properties and plant m a thorough condition to earn and pay dividends legulaily. We have been spending; nearly, ?200,000 in new, equipment, during-the present summer, -which will: m(-re than double our present output .'arid, profits. All of this sum we are taking out of the ground, not having advanced' one dollar for the past year to do this work. "It would 'seem that "those in' the best position to judge" state .most plainly that ���' operations are returning profits, thus directly contradicting the' suggestion'that they, "aro being carried on at a positive loss." (6) "It.is . . .;������'��� . culpableion the part of the directors of the Granby company to withold important information without'which it is impossible to est.-, m'atoi the value of the stock they arc apparently bent on increasing and* which in any case they are offering the public as an attractive investment." ���;Mr, Miner's statements to me.applicable to these strictures; may be-summed up thus: (a) Shareholders have been given all the information, they are entitled to. (b) The directors have not even thought of increasing the stock, (d) They are not offering any stock to? the-public,? . I: desire to add that not only in the Boundary district, but *when at Nelson and Rossland lately, the simple mention that the'Canadian Mining Review had_ attacked the.:,Granby company promptly elicited replies, remarkable in their un1. animity, in effect that that journal is notorious for its. general hostility towards British' Columbia mining enterprises,; ���'...'.* .::*: ���* * ' At the risk of making an unreasonable demand on your spaqe I. ask your permission to here briefly summari.ct tlie history and work of the Granby1 Con^ solidated Mining, Smelting & Power Company? Limited, having a capital of $15,000,000 in 1,500,000 $10 shares. The QQHSOlidation embraced four Incorporated companies, viz., .the Old Ironsides Mining ��� Company, Limited, capital $1,000,000; the Knob Hill Gold Mining Company, ; Limited, capital $1,500,000; the Granby Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company, __ imited, capital ?900,-)00, and tbe Grey Eagle Gold Min ing Company, Limited, capital $1,500,000. The mineral claims owned by these companies are situate at Phoenix and all adjoin. They are the Old Ironsides, Knob Hill, Victoria, Fourth of July, Phoenix, Aetna, Grey Eagle, Banner, Tip Top, and Triangle; these consituting, so far 'as known, 'the "biggest copper mining proposition in the Boundary and probably in3 the province. For'tome time prior to the consolidation they were jointly worked under the one general management, .The Old Ironsides and Knob Hill companies did a large amount of development in their respective mines, and haye been at work with,scarcely any intermission for about, five years. The first Granby company, which was of more-recent organization, worked the .Victoria and ' built and operated the smelter at Grand Forks, these reduction works being ' thoroughly' modern and most effective and successful in their results. Preliminaries 'having been arranged during the latter half of 1900, tho consolidation was consummated eraly, in the current year, since when there has"been a gradual enlargement of operations." ", In the development of the Old Iron-, sides, Knob Hill, Victoria, and Grey Eagle mines *-2256 lineal "feet of sinking and raising and 10,000 feet of crosscutt- mg and; drifting���together nearly two, and.a half miles in length of workings haye been done. There has also been about half as,much .work again done in very large raises.and drifts which, although in new country, has been counted as ^stoping, not as development. The deepest "shaft' is down 400 feet and the diambnd.drill has proved the occurrence of ore down to a, depth of 800 feet. Large surface quarries have been opened in 'ore which is known to extend about 3000"feet on the company's ground and to have a width'of 300 to 400 feet. As now opened the deepest face of ore in the quarries is about 60 feet, but a cut is now being run into the hill that will eventually give an open (face Lof more than 200 feet in maximum depth. The railway cars will shortly be run into the quai nes and there be filled with ore by means of a steam shovel, thus economizing in the cost of loading. Shipments of ore were commenced in July, 1900, and during that year 64,535 tons were sent to the smelter. The output foi nine months of 1901 ended September 30th, was 168,620 tons, making an aggregate tonnage to the latter date of 233,155 tons. At the Canadian Mining Review's estimate of $5 per ton this would give a gross value of $1,165,775 With the tonnage increased to 1200 tons a day, as will shortly be done, these mines will yield at a similar valuation $600 per diem, but this is by no means anywhere neai their limit of daily pio- "���ductionr^Cwhich-it-ls-planned-to^next year further inciease to about 2000 tons a day) so easily accessible are their onormous oie bodies The mines aie well equipped with improved machinery and plant, and have, foo, commodious and substantially built accommodations for about 500 n^cn, theie.being at present rather, more than 300 on the pay-roll.. ;?Tbe smelter is at present;running two blast, furnaces, these together treating nearly 600 tons of ore a day.f Two. more furnaces are overdue, to arrive at the works, and these shou.a be in operation before tho end of the year.' .This addition will increase treatment .facilities to about 1300 tons, a day. It has been decided to increaso the number,: of furnaces to six early in the new year so as to on- largo the capacity of the works to about 2000 tons of ore daily. Two "copper converters wil also be installed here,shortly arid these with other betterments also being made will bring the equipment up to the most complete and.impprtant cop. per producing'plant in Canada.? Adverse criticism. regarding ' the big capitalization of the Granby company may or may not be warranted, but surely the proper time for this was when last, year an authoritative '. public announcement was made of an intention to inc. ease to $15,000,000 arid.(ndt when runic, r usually most carefully'ignored by reliable journals, concocts a story en- ,'tirely at variance! with facts. The Canadian M-Eihg Revie.y.has now added to -its reputation in tho interior mining districts of the province of being '; a "knocker," so far .as mining in British .Columbia, is concerned,, evidence that either ignorance, or prejudice so/influenced it tbat it did. not (take. the , most, ordinary precautions to verify its infor- ..mation before making sleeping? reflections upon the status and management of an extensive and thoroughly bona fide mining and smelting enterprise?

After an examination of the body was made. Dr.'Macdonell said that Mr. Davin had been dead about ten minutes. The room when viewed presented a gruesome sight; the clay of the brilliant parliamentarian lay in an easy attitude on the bed; the pillows on the bed and the garments with which the body was clotted were .soaked in blood, as were the pocketbook and documents which were taken from the body by the police sergeant. Deceased evidently had no baggage with him, but on a table in the room his gloves and hat and part of a (box of cartridges were found. The revolver was fully loaded, with the exception of one chamber, and the muzzle bore the imprint of the lips when taken from the hand.* All the money found on his person was $6.80. Up tilljhe present no satisfactory reason can*be assigned for the comnoUt- tal of the rash act, but.lt is thought that deceased must have become despondent through business and political "reverses. -He arrived in'the city from Regina on October. 9:*and engaged a room, at the Clarendon.

Curley Mining Company for Tuesday, the 29th instant. This is an action brought by the plaintff, Smith, and a number of other miners to enforce a mechanic's lien for wages amounting to $1540. The case promises to be rather complicated, as the property is said to have passed *from the ownership of the company for whom the wages for the labor sued for was done.

Eugene Croteau of Rossland is applying to the gold commissioner for the Nelson district for permission to work the Yankee Girl. Canadian Girl and Yale mineral claims through the tunnel which the Dundee Mining Company has run in upon the Kitten Fraction in the Dundee group. This tunnel is now in 250 feet and Mr. Croteau is asking permission to drive the tunnel 350 feet further, which will bring him to the Yankee Girl ground. Mr. Croteau recently secured a bond upon the proper- tics he is developing, and if he is successful in ltis application to the gold commissioner work will he started on :. large scale at once It is said the officers of the Dundee company are not- averse to granting the application, but in view ot the tangle in which the Dun-y '. i No Cause Assigned. The following is from the Winnipeg Free Press of Saturday: Nicholas Flood Davin, one of Cana? /la's' brightest parliamentarians and -journalists.-committed suicide-by-shooting at the Clarendon hotel, this city, yesterday, afternoon about 4 o'clock: ��� ���*. The news of Mr. Davin's suicide spread with startling. rapidity and caused a general sensation in the city. The circumstances surrounding the affair-are not very clear,, but the deed must have been committed between 3.50 and 4.10 o'clock. Mr. Davin left the Clarendon hotel about noon yesterday and coming down town went to Ashdown's retail hardware store on Main street, where- he purchased an expensive i evolver, * stating that he wanted it to send to a friend in the west. Later in the afternoon he returned to Ashdown's and complained that the revolver would not work. Mr. Lindsay, the manager, examined ' the weapon and found it had been broken, evidently in an attempt to load tho chambers. He saw that Mr. Davin could not properly handle a revolver, and promptly returned the money paid for it, refusing to give him anothei. Mr Davin again left his hotel shortly before 3 o'clock and walked down to the Queen's. At the latter place he engaged a cab and drove down to Baskerville's hardware store, where he purchased a' small five-chambered, 32 calibre bulldog revolver. He informed the clerk from whom he purchased the weapon that he wanted it for target practice and for shooting cats which annoyed him. He said he did not wish nny cartridges as he had plenty. From Baskerville's he drove back to the Queen's, and thence to the Clarendon, where he arrived about 3.30. The deceased left his cab standing outside the hotel door and went into the office, where he informed the clerk on duty that he was going away on .._._ west train, and Immediately took the elevator upstairs for the purpose of packing up, as he said. At 3:50 o'clock the clerk sent the bell boy up to his room with a letter for him, and at that time he was apparently all right. * Sometime around 4.p.m. a couple of chambermaids thought they heard a report, but could not locate it, and no attention was paid until the; hotel porter went up to the room to inform Mr, Davin that it was time for him to leave and to carry his baggage down to the cab. which -fas still waiting at the door. .Tiiere was no response to a J-noclr, and Mi Mi Mi Mi ��_ Mi, .

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-10-22 |
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. |
