3hf / 1? V h ��- ESTABLISHED 1892 MONDAY MOKN1KG, DECEMBER 9 1901 WEEKLY EDITION FOBD'SREVIEW NOW LONDON IS OPTIMISTIC ON WAR MATTERS. GOOD REPORTS EXPECTED PROM KITCHENER THIS WEEK-GERMANY AND AMERICA. P V NEW YORK, December 7.���I. N. Ford, cables as follows:. "It is expected that lord Kitchener will have a satisfactory "bag" to report'as a result of the week's work of the-British columns in South Africa. Rightly or wrongly, the impression is again in the ascendancy that 'the war is nearing a close. With this' view comes the revival of tho anticipation that the posi- ton will be so far clear by the time the government wants more money that it will be found possible to raise a Transvaal 3 per cent loan guaranteed by the imperial government and that no further issue of consols will be necesary. Meanwhile an official dispatch from Calcutta reporting briefly the result of operations against the Mahhuds comes as a reminder to Englishmen that they aie engaged in another little war on the Indian frontier. Router's dispatch reporting 25 British troops killed or wounded reads" uncommonly like a "regrettable incident." IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.. The board of trade returns for November show further heavy declines in British trade. Imports have decreased ��2,923,177 and exports ��1,728,213. The increase in imports is distributed over almost every branch of trade aiid the result is that tbe aggregate for the year o date- which has hitherto kept ahead of the 1900 figures, has now fallen ��1.770,000. Exports have this redeeming feature, that for the low price of coal thc decrease would have been much less as, although the value of the coal Iisipped is down ��1,360,000, there Is only a diminuation in quantity of 590,- .000 tons. GERMANY AND -AMERICA. An article in the Saturday Review on Germany as an American power, is attracting some attention. The Review takes the view and not for the first time, that the immense growth of German population in Brazil implies inevitably German interference in that country and a conflict with the United States. Tlie article goes on to say: With friendly Germany posted in South America and Joyal Canada in North America we could hold the United States in some kind of check. With Germany forever eliminated from tho political hcess board in the new world we should with our present policy of admitting the unbridled pretensions of the United States everwhere one day find ourselves elbowed out forever both from North and South America. Germany established in South America would not .effect the development of Canada, but the empire of~tlie_United_States" commanding the inter-ocean canal holding Central America n free and dominating the south with a Chinese wall of tariffs all round would ultimately force Canada in self defence to amalgamate with it. BETTER PASSENGER SERVICE. For some time past the Liverpool Atlantic passenger companies have been negotiating with the London and Northwestern Railway with a view to gaining more luxurious trains between Liverpool and London. The result of these rerpscutations, supported by the American consul, js satisfactory and yesterday the flrst train ()e luxe left Riverside station n Liverpool, QUEEN'S CORONATION ROBES, The designs for the queen's coronation robes have been finally decided on by her majesty. The task has been no easy one, as both the historical records and the precedents had to be consulted. A short time since, the king, hearing that tlie robes worn by ^MQen Adelaide, were in excellent state of preservation and were kept as heirlooms at Brodie castle, commanded that they should be brought to Marlbouough house for the queen's inspection ftnd guidance. The material of which they were made is of black velvet manufactured on hand looms and finished robes are elaborately embroidered and laced with gold trimmings. The kings cape, the most magnificent .cape which will be worn at the ceremony, will be decorated with silver eagles and shamrocks nad thistles, will be worked into the- general design. The fleur de lis has a; nptable historic significance as it point* to "��luf days when English kings were proclaimed riders ol France. The.gown and jewels will !}���? specially arranged for the occasion. The presioys atones, which consist of diamonds, rubies, pearls, sapphires and emeralds, will! number 6190, and includes the famous ruby which the king of Castile presen- was suted to tho Black prince in 1367 and was subsequently worn by Henry V at Agincourt. It is stated that Alien Alexandra meditates signalizing the coronaton by indicating a scheme to help the hosptal fund by her illus- trioushusband. This would take the |orm of a direct appeal to the women of England. Certain hospital author- ii 'S, it is added, have been made aware of the queen's purpose, and they are naturally gratified at such fuither indication of royal sympathy with their cause. ONE OF THE CEREMONIES Not the least interesting of the many ceremonies that London will witness j-exi J. n. wil be tho turning of the first s >d for the queen Victoria memorial by king Edward in the presence of his j.Mi"jts gathered from all parts of the world. The happy idea of beginning this undertaking at the time of the coronation originated with his majesty, who considered tha the presence in England of &o many foreign notabilities would prove an opportunity that the nations of the world would gladly seize to pay tribute to the memory to the late queen, it s regarded as practically setled that the presents accepted by the prince and princess of Wales in the course of their recent tour through the colonies will exhibited. Little, however, has been arranged in the affair, and the exhibition will certainly not take place for several weeks. A- precedent likely to be follower would point to the imperial institute as the first center at which the presents would be shown and their is a probability of a subsequent exhibition of the colonial gifts in the east and possibly in two or three of the leading provincial cities. ANOTHER UNFAIR CRITICISM By the Canadian Mining Review. A few weeks ago Ine Tribune published a reply to certain strictures on the Granby company which appeared in the August, number of the Canadian Mining Review. The November number of the same journal again deals with this subject, devoting to it nearly two" of its pages. E. Jacobs of Greenwood, who is the regular staff correspondent of The Tribune - in t Boundary district, wrote the first reply to the Review article, and his peply to that, journal's second, article is as follows: It appears to me, though, that there is exhibited such trickiness in attributing unreasonable delay in my previous reply and in other matters, and such a juggling of words and figures in the statements made in the latter number as compared-with the former, that to fully expose these would require that 1 use more.,of your space than would be reasonable to ask for. For "instance; the Review's criticism was published in the October issue of the B. C. Mining Record and my reply in the November number. The Review says there was an unaccountable lapse of time, but how could I reply earlier to that monthly journal? Similarly, were it worth while, I could give satsfactory reasons for my letter not havng appeared in your paper until early in October. As to juggling of words and figures��� the.Review says in November, "Our August article commeiite"cl upon a reported sugestion for the increase in the capital of the company," whilst the words actually used in August were, the announcement that the Granby people contemplate an increase," etc.; also, "the stock the directors are apparently bent on increasing and which in any case they are offering the public as an attractive investment." Again, the August number stated that "the representatives- of this company, Messrs. Graves and White, were in New York negotiat- -ing-for-the-sale-of-the-propcrty.-^-and- that the Amalgamater Copper Company ���"could not be induced to give as much as two million dollars for the property" <Jand there was no printer's error, for the "two millions" were printed in words, not In figures). The November number says "the Review has never contended that the directors, as a body, were trying to sell"���a seeming subterfuge, surely. In this connection I remark that the Review's informant, upon whom it has since placed the responsibility for the August statements, is now claiming that $12,000,000 was the price mentioned in August, .appears to be taking refuge in a misstatement, for we have the Review's editorial assurance that its correspondent mado a mistake, hence its printing the words "two million dollars." Still again, in August the Review stated that the total expenditure in cash for the purchase and development of the mining properties and for the smelter," does not exceed one million dollars." In November its words are "a property upon which one million and a half of dollars have been spent." Let me here anticipate a possible quibble by giving reminder that Mr. Miner's circular relative to the expenditure of $200,000 during last summer ante-dated the Review's first noticed criticism, published at the close of August. But getting away from the Review's juggling tactics, and making only this passing reference to what, that journal is pleased to designate "the principles which governed it in publishing any comments upon this company"���that two of these three, were not even mentioned in its flrst. criticism���I come .to what I assume to be, ih the opinion of the Review or its Nelson informant, the three main points to be considered. As to these I submit that in regard to: 1(). Excessive capitalization: Neither the Review nor the stockholders seem to have made'a vigorous protest, if indeed, any at all, at the proper time, viz., prior to |*he carrying out of the consolidation. This is a situation this district had no part in bringing about, so it is.not greatly concerned whether the nominal-capital be excessive, as alleged, or not. (2). Publication of information as to costs, -values and -returns: This, too, is a matter about which this district has little.or no complaint to make. If, as alleged, eastern stockholders be persistently denied information they are en titled to, they surely have a legal remedy. (3). The average value per ton of the ore treated. In this matter the district is interested, and deeply, too. ,-Mr. Miner has reiterated that the ore .Is yielding a profit and he, if. anyone knows. In August the Review said: "If, as is currently believed by those in the best position to judge the average gross value of the ore treated does not exceed ?5, it is .doubtful if operations are not being carried on at a positive loss." In November it said editorially: "On close inquiry we have ascertained that the gross assay value of the ore has increas- er since the beginning of the year, and that for the last six months of the present year it may have reached.the figure of $7 per ton." 'Our correspondent claims that the average realized value of the ore is not over ?5 per ton." The correspondent himself says "the average realized yield of the ore treated for the past three months is not more than $4." Now, where are we at? First, the gross value does not exceed ?&���; next, it may have reached $7; then the correspondent is stated to claim that the average- realized value is not over $5; finally;; the correspondent asserts that the av-;; erage realized yield is not more -than' $4, and to cap the lot comes the editorial dictum that "the question of whether the average assay value of the ore be $5 or $7 per ton is entirely beside the mark." And this last assertion, too, in regard to a mine in which, with its enormous tonnage,' a difference of even twenty-five cents a ton, not to say ?2, would largely determine-whether or not it-could be operated at a profit. Is this a fair sample of the criticism, put forth as authoritative, ot a journal pretentiously claiming to be the "representative exponent of the mining industries of Canada." If so we may thank the gods that its circulation in the Boundary district is extremely small, whatever it may be in the east where t he existence of prejudice and ignorance of western mining conditions are not so easily detected as in the mining districts of British Columbia. Just a few reflections in conclusion. The Review's later editorial utterances relative to the value of the Granby mines ore suggest that similar "close inquiry" should have been made���and probably iii the absence of- prejudice would have'been���before publishing the August allegations, so materially qualir fled ��� in November. Next, the query seems natural��� how is it possible in the face of the Review's allegation as to the "secrecy maintained about the working of the property" for the anonymous Nelson mining engineer to ascertain "both by inspection and inquiry" accurate and reliable information" about values.-We--have his* own word for it that it is refused by'those in authority. Does he obtain it surreptitiously? and if so, is it the custom of the Review to encourage mining engineers to spy about mines and smelters and to obtain by foul means information not accessible to those who scori all but fair means? Again, is tins instance of "no case, so bully the witness," by insinuation, innuendo and thinly veiled disparagement? Lastly, its references to "western boom sheets." My reply to the Review's first article was published successively in The Tribune, the Vancouver News-Advertisoivthe B. C. Mining Record, and the New York Mining and Engineering Journal. Are these boom sheets? If so what of the Canadian Mining Review, which to my knowledge in 1896-7 accepted 2500 shares of stock (no cash) for twelve months' advertising o f a Boundary company's mining claims of then unknown value, which venture, afterwards proved a disappointment and loss to those who put money into it, comparatively little development���work���having���meanwhile been done on the claims. Give us fair criticism; well-informed and without prejudice; and, too, by men not afraid to disclose their identity. We may not relish hard hitting, but we at least respect the man who has the courage of his opinions and does not snipe us from ambush. As to stocks: Eastern people may manipulate them if opportunity be given and it suit them to do so, and squeal, too, as some of them are apt to do if they cannot get dividends in the growing time of our mining ndustry.. But when t comes to the successful transformation of a surface cropping of mineral into a big mine��� well, we in the Boundary care not whether success be attained by men who are simply well experienced and thoroughly practical miners or by professional mining engineers privileged to spread their yellow-encased legs under the somewhat exclusive mahogany of the Nelson cub, so long as it be attained, and wo extend the glad right hand of appreciation to the one as readily as to the other. Wandered Away While Delirious WINNIPEG, December 7.���The bartender of the Royal hotel, who has been ill for some time, got up from his bed about midnight last night and putting on his clothes escaped from the house without being seen. Meeting a couple of acqaintances on the street he started to run after them, but they caught up before he had gone far and^asked what was the matter. After hesitating for some time he replied that he was going ot the river to drown himself. A little later he bolted from his friends and escaped twards the Red river. At an early hour this morning nothing had been heard of him. This morning about 8:30 the dead body of the bartender was found behind Kemp Bros, manufactory, L,omb^r-4 street with a gash on his' right wrist. The unfortunate man's name is Pierre Lapierre and he came to* Winnipeg from tho cty of Quebec about eghteen years ago. Max O'Rell (Pan! Bluett) the French writer and lecturer, is sick in New York. \ BONUS SECUBEB NEW VIgTOR GROUP WILL BE?0PENED UP. �� WILD HORSE FREE MILLING PROSPECT FROM WHICH BIO RETURNS ARE EXPECTED. Davio Boot!) leaves for- Ymir today.-to commence work upon the New Victor group' ot.. claims on Wild Horse creek upon\n��nicl|,4 "the - has just secured a lease/s'jandlvwQrking' r bond.' There are ^hreejclaiihs!~ln.,'-this group���New Vic- rtgr^l.Royal, and- Excelsior���which ad- * jblfis the - well-known Wilcox - property. There' has. ben considerable prospecting work fdony. .upon this property and the indicatioi^: are that the ledges upon it cary- good values in free milling ore. ': .\ The bond secured by Mr. Booth upon the property calls for the payment of ?20,000. , TheVrfirst payment of $5000 falls".due on. July- 1st, the second of an equal amount -three months later , and hte balance on; January 1st, 1903. The. bond is considered a very advantageous one, but it is;-not likely that "it could have< been, secured by anyone else,-"as the holder ofjlt���Mr. Booth���is one of ���the principal owners! n the property. The work done upon the..New. Victor, consists of a "shaft sunk 95 feet on the hanging wall of one of the ledges. This work has developed three feet of -gold ore which Mt' is predicted will average ?10 to the' ton', in "free milling values," in addition to'^which there' is a pay streak of very1,-rich ore from 8 to 10 inches ���; widef On the Royal claim a crosscut'- tunnel'" was- started for. a* ledge which outcropped on he surface, contribute to \i% development. It is now in some 18 feet, 'but is as yet fully 50 feetfrom-the ledge which it was started* ot ut. -. . j-y The principal showing on the group, and' the. one���whioh prompted- Mr. Booth to take'up'.itsf development "was uncovered ori the. New-Victor last fall. This occurs on a different" ledge from that upon which thc shaft was sunk and so far nothing but surface work has been done upon it. This consists of a number of open cuts, about 50 feet apart, for a total distance of 500 feet, throughout the whole of which the new ledge appears strong. The surface work done upon it indicates the presence of three feet of good paying quartz with a pay streak of 18 inches, the averaga "of which gave assay returns of $82 in gold and some eight ounces in silver. It is upon this showing that Mr. Booth will do his first work and he proposes to commence work witli a crew of six men. To get any depth upon this ledge will necessitate driving a crosscut tunnel some 150 feet. ��� Work is going on in a-quiet way upon a number of properties in the Ymir district. A small crew of men is still at work upon the' Wilcox and considerable has been sacked at the property _awaiting_snow*_for_shipping Above the New -Victor group the Golden Monarch company of Spokane has a force of 20 men.at work on the Foghorn. On this property a shaft has been sunk for 65 feet which has opened up 5 feet of quartz for which is claimed an assay value of over $50 to the ton. This ledge is also being opened up' by means of a short tunnel from which considerable ore has been taken out and will be shipped this winter. The management of the property is now driving a long crosscut to catch this ledge nt depth and three shifts aro at work upon it, the tunnel being now in a distance of 160 feet. Among the other properties in the district upon which work is beinn: carried on nre the Union Jack on Porcupine creek, upon which 8 men are working, and the Shiloh.

NEW YORK, December 7.���For a long time there has been much optimistic feeling with regard to the war, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. For days past, rumors of peace negotiations have been current in various quarters and these have hot dispersed by lord Kitchener's official confirmation of the report that, a large number of Boers have been captured in the Transvaal. This important work seems to have been the work of major Wools Sampson. This officer's admirable handling of the troops at Braackslagt after colonel Benson was mortally wounded rebounded very much to his credit and his capture of the Boer laager southwest. Lynch Promises Fealty. NEW YQRK, December 7���A telegram to the London Times from Dublin says that colonel Arthur Lynch who fought for the Boers and who was recently returned to parliament for Galway city, has written to the electors of that constituency thanking them for his election. He promises to discharge his parliamentary duties with his eyes directed toward the welfare of Galway and Ireland. The letter, however, does not contain any reference to colonel Lynch's proposed action in the near future. * Episcopalians' New Bible, NEW YORK, December 6.���A new bible authorized by the late general convention in San Francisco, to be read in all Episcopal churches in the United States, has been in process of completion by the committee on marginal readings, which has sat at the Episcopal general seminary in this city since last Tuesday and will conclude its work tomorrow, says the Times. It was stated that an English firm has promised to undertake the publication of this bible without* expense to the committee. The new bible is to consist of the text and renderings of the king James' version, the renderings of the English revision and the renderings of the recent American revisions. The renderings of the Episcopal committee were ordered to be printed in an appendix for pres.ervation. The late convention, while it praised the scholarship of its own commission, did not place their work upon the same level as that of the revisers, who had Included lay scholars, and who had spent many years at the work, besides being far larger in numbers.' The new bible Insures the very late renderings, although the reading of them is permissive only, not obligatory. THE LAND OF THE COLOSSAL Max O'Rell on the United States ' ���Here I am in the United States-for the seventh time. My first visit was paid fourteen years ago, in 1887. Since that day, what changes, what fairylike transformations! It is like phantasmagoria.- In 1887 the population of America was sixty millions; now it is over seventy. In fifty years' time it will be two hundred millions. Yea, the land !of the colossal, the land of intelligence, the land of light. In Europe they will no .longer receive the light from the East; they will have it from the West. As before, I find all the Americans :at the wheel, almost recovered from a tragedy that shocked tne world and obtained- for them the deepest sympathy of.the most, exalted in the land, as well as the lowest. But America cannot stop for the insane crime of a lunatic; ,she 'has her mission to fulfill; forward���she must go on. Rich and poor, young and , old���ryes, all, with the exception perhaps ,of,.avfew Anglo-maniacs "whom the Old* ��� World call gentlemen and the New One loafers. On my first visit the, Americans had "all built monumental blocks of fifteen and sixteen stories; today I find some in New York with thirty and thirty-two. If they go a little higher up still t.he Americans will have only a step to walk into the sojourn of the Seraphim. For that matter all things are explained. New York is built on a narrow island having the shape of a tongue from south to north. It is impossible to get extension toward the east or west, so in the business quarters, they spread- in the only region of space which is disengaged���that is, toward the firmament. Of course I cannot say that America interests me now as much as it did formerly. The novelty has worn off a bit. I am beginning to see things American with eyes almost American, instead of seeing them with those of the "intelligent foreigner." I no longer want to be guided, and I no longer run the risk of being guyed. During my flrst visits I received light impressions." which amused me and in- war indemnity imposed on France by Germany in 1870, and probably more. The papers announce the amalgamation of two great railroad lines. In future the new company will control over 10,000 miles. The financier who brought about this amalgamation is a man who could buy, u they were on sale, the Louvre museum and the Are de Triomphe. And how do these billionaires live? Well, every one in this world lives according to his own fancy. Some lead a life that might be envied by the European sovereigns.. Others prefer living like little bourgeois retired from business. Some have trains and steamers of ��� their own; others take the street car. Some pay their cooks ten thousand dollars a year; others eat a chop for luncheon. But for the colossal, give me American journalistic enterprise. Give me newspaper proprietors who from New York run papers in Chicago and San Francisco, and who, in order to do so, have private telegraphic lines stretching from one end to the other of this huge .continent at a yearly cost of $50,000. On the 1st of this November the Paris Figaro published an article of mine entitled "A New Education to Start."' Three days ago I received a Butte (Montana) paper of the next day, the 2nd of November, containing an editorial of a whole column on the Figaro article. Ex uno disce omnes. From such an insignficant thing as an article of mine judge what American journalism can do in the presence of great events. I have heard of cables costing tens of thousands of dollars. The Americans are well served. The earth is theirs. ��� "All. they lack yet is a bit of ivory on old walls. But this, if necessary, thev. will, manufacture as easily as cobwebs' are manufactured for wine merchants and hotel keepers.. IT SUBPRISED AIM GRANBY SMELTER PROVED A REVELATION. '��� REPRESENTATIVE OF THEJ AMERICAN METAL COMPANY; VISITS THE BOUNDARY. GRAND FORKS, Decern ber 8.���(Spec- . :' ial to Thei Tribune.)��� Mr.' Ste'/nfiitlfc"'"'ir.'^* of the American Metal Company of Neff J"^-^ York has left here for Phoenix. In anZ.Yf-ff interview he said: "I came'west with/"**-1''Zr[ -' ... ���terested me, and which also seemed to entertain the Americans who were kind enough to allow me to communicate them to them. Today I have opinions, and a fairly good knowledge of the country; and the opinions of a foreigner on the nation he visits have much less value than those of the natives.- Impressions and opinions are very different things. The impression of a fair- minded and fairly intelligent foreigner are always interesting, and the fresher they are the cmore piquant they read. When, fourteen years ago, I was beholding men walking in Broadway, frowning, careworn, tired looking, l remember that I exclaimed: "Poor devils, they are on a round of calls on friends who live at 538 East 125th street; 892 West 138th street, and, maybe, 2354 West 162nd street. By George, so would I look frowning and careworn if 1 had to remember all these combinations of figures!" That was an impression. Now, when I look at the same men, I say to myself: "So many men who do not know whether they will be ruined or will be millionaires today at four o'clock." And by the side of all those preoccupied faces I see pass, as before, cheerful, smiling, smart women, regular Paris- iennes in gait and elegance, wearing all the latest fashions of beautiful Paris, handsome, well-made, supple, with eyes dazzling with intelligence, beautifully corseted, gloved and shod, the whole crowned with magnificient hats, proudly planted on the top of the most beautiful heads in the world. Was it not the other day that Andrew Carnegie gave ten millions to found scholarships in the four universities of Scotland? This great American millionaire philanthropist's hobby is to be found in free libraries. He establishes them everywhere/in America and especially in his dear native land of Scotland. "I have two hundred and fifty millions yet to distribute before my death," he said only the other day. He evidently Intends to start the next world as he started this one���with little or nothing. ���The word millionaire, of course, cannot now convey an exact idea of the fortune of American plutocrats. We must invent a word and say billionaire. The Oil King of America possesses as much money as would have paid the -���:::*3-. No Chance of a Visitor From Mars Unless you have a longer than ordinary lease of life there is little hope that you will live to shake hands with a visitor from Mars. The fascinating possibility of communication with this much-talked of planet has been given ��� a solar plexus blow by the 'eminent astronomer, sir Robert Ball, now lecturing in this country. The likelihood of signalling to Mars has been so often discussed -and- intertwined with so much of a network of romance and speculation that sir Robert Ball's plain statement that it is an impossibility is causing a popular sensation. ��� " _ ... �� " ' It is liis array of figures .that makes sir Robert's statements impressive. Mars, he points out, is one hundred.and fifty times as far away as the moon, and it is difficult enough to get accurate information about the surface of the moon. Any building on earth would have to be at least one hundred and fifty times as long and as broad as it is before an inhabitant of Mars, with as powerful as telescope as we have on earth today, might happen to see it even if he were looking in this direction and the atmosphere was unusually clear. Using the modern methods of military signalling with flags, it would require a flag at least 300 miles long, 200 miles wide, attached to a pole 500 miles long, to be waved to and fro before an inhabitant of Mars looking through his sryglass would be impressed with the idea lhat there was anything unusual going on. Or, if the imagination could conceive of Lake Superior filled with petroleum and set on fire, the great blaze might appear as a speck of light to an inhabitant of Mars who happened the object of making' afiother tour of the Boundary country, of which wei hear so much of in New York, but primarily' to ascertain by personal observa-, tion the prospects of the Granby company in the way of quantity of output, of matte or blister copper and to in-- spect' its ore reserves' at Phoenix. The' company with which I am" connected, is one of the. largest buyers of .ores,' matte and bullion on the continent. .Weighing my words, I.-must admit that the Granby smelter proved a rev-' elation to me Both in regard to equip-:, jment and methods of ore treatment, 'as.��� well as in respect on _ae possibilities, of tonnage. no. .improvement could be " suggested. I - believe the Granby plant. is treating-its .ore, more cheaply, than" any other copper matting plant in ex- ~ ���istence, largely, because these ores.are; self-fluxing anel '-on "account. of'.\the cheap of power.

There are other stars visible to the naked eye lhat could not yet have received thc news of thc battle of Waterloo if the message had been sent by Marconi at the time the engagement began. Tlie so-called "canals" on Mars, discredited as such of late years, are, according to sir Robert, canals after all. He says that they are not the work of nature, becauso nature does not work on straight lines. These canals with tho assured existence of arctic and tropical regions, sir Robert said, arc indications that human life is existent on Mars. No permanent water and no river can be discerned on Mars. What astronomers sec are straight lines, or rather lines falling in circles around the globe. These aro undoubtedly canals in a great state of development. It is not known that these canals carried off the ice and snow that melted during the sjimmer season, but it is a fact that the observation of the canals is clearer at the season of the year when it may be assumed that tlie snow and ice are melting. Wcn't Consent to Transfer. NEW YORK, Dcember 7.���The high court of justice, chancery division, has declined to consent, to the proposed transfer of the life department of the Atlas Assurance Company to the Pelican Life Insurance, says a dispatch to the Journal of Commerce, from London. The terms of the arrangement would have relieved the Atlas capital from" all liability under the life policies of the Atlas. It is intimated that tbis complication may be a serious stumbling block in the way of the consummation of the Phoenix-Atlas amalgamation. 'Shipment'From'Molly^Huffhes Property,- Harry Sh^ra of New Denver was0 in Nelson yesterday on his way home fronii;"' the Trail smelter, .where 'he and his - partners in the Molly Hughes property,'- .have, just delivered another car of high grade ore. The returns from this ship- ' ment have not yet been received, but from thre former cars it is ' expected that the 20 tons will net the owners, something over $1000 after deducting, freight and treatment. The Molly Hughes 'output is a dry ore with silver and gold vclnes. In all 62 tons' have been shipped to the Trail smelter, - which after deducting a freight and treatment rate of $14.50 per ton netted the owners -something over $3000. It is understood that a reduction of $5.50 has been made by Harry Sheran of New Denver was in Nelson yesterday on way home from the Trail smelter, where he and his partners in the Mollie Hughes property have just delivered another car of high grade ore. The returns from this shipment have not yet - been re- cpived. but from the returns from three, former cars it is expected that the 20 tons will net the owners somethins*; over ? 1000 after deducting freight and treatment Misleading Maxims. Perhaps no maxims are so mislead- - ing to the judgment of those .who implicitly believe them as those which assert what is absolutely true actually and very often false metaphorically. For instance: "Where there's smoke there's fire" and "Straws show which way the wind blows." If by smoke wo understand scandal and gossip, then there is often a good deal of very nasty smoke and no fire at all. Neither, metaphorically speaking, do straws show which way the wind blows, for such aro tho cross-currents of character that you can seldom judge of it3 general trend by a trivial action. A man may save a penny and yet not be mean, or throw away a pound without being generous or even habitually extravagant. Take, for instance, the common Yorkshire saying, "When in doubt do nought." How very seldom the principle therein contained can be applied with advantage. How many weak wills, we should like to know, has this pestilential little proverb contributed to par-: alyze? "All things happen to those who';, wait"���and so they do wait, till the; only thing which is sure to happen to . every one does happen, and they die. Cculd they but have realized that "he who hesitates is lost" contains far more* truth than its opposite they might have done something in life. Not that this energetic assertion of an occasional; fact is by any means a sure guide. Who is not familiar with the man who never hesitates before any decision and nearly always laments his precipitation, usually aloud? Who has not got tired of imploring such a one to make the best of a bad job or of suppressing the obvious comment of "We told you so?" All the same, believers in a motto which spurs them into foolish action seems to do better in the race of life than those who rely upon one which preaches nothing but caution. And- hasty people generally seem to arrive at their goal, in however bad condition. ' i.

Is not such a proceeding by the judge government by injunction and a substitute for trial by jury? If judges can create new offenses unknown to the statutes, prejudge defendants by anticipation, convict them without trial by jury and prescribe penalties out of hand for acts not prohibited by law, the guarantees contained in the constitution are of no avail. If the courts are correct in construing the right of injunction as they have done of late, there is nothing to prevent an autocratic judiciary from making' still further encroachments upon the liberty of the individual.���Philadelphia North American. The Tinhorns Are Worse. Nowadays we hear a lot of the cruel way in which the capitaliststic class puts the screws down oi the thumbs of the poor man yet its mighty little we hear of the oppression exercised by the nimble fingered fraternity called "tinhorns" on the same hapless creation. It is a fact that these gentry get-away with more of the miner's hard earned dollars than capital squeezes out of him. Yet, it is rarely you hear him kicked at although: there 'is not one in ten of the men who go up against him who do not know that he is not taking any more chances than is necessary to preserve the fineness of his graft.��� Trout Lake Topic. 1 <��\\.< Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal ...President Hon.

Owing to breakages and other mishaps in moving Tho Tribune plant from tho Burns block on East Baker street to the McDonald building on West Baker street, there may be shortcom- nigs for a day or two. The Tribune, however, will appear every day in some form, and within a week everything Will be running in shipshape. The assertion by the Canadian Mining Review of Ottawa that the reply to ���its strictures on the Granby company's methods of doing business was published in "boom sheets" will not hold water. There are no more conservative newspapers in the country than the Vancouver News-Advertiser and The Tribune, and the B. C. Mining Record of Victoria and the Mining and Engineering Journal of New Yory have never been classed as "boom" journals. So far as The Tribune is concerned, during the ���nine years It has: been published, its owners and managers have never received directly or indirectly one dollar for the publication or suppression of news relating to mines or mining companies. It has printed hundreds of col- *-urnis ��� of. mining news, and no prospector, miner? mine manager, mine owner, or company promoter was ever asked for money, either directly or indirectly, for either publishing or suppressing news. Undoubtedly, some of the news printed could be construed as "boom," and some of it, no doubt, was unreliable; but the inten was good as far as The Tribune was concerned. No special credit is deserved for adopting and adhering to such a policy; but no man has ���/aver lost a dollar in mining ln British Columbia through wilful or paid-for misrepresentations appearing in The Tribune. The Tribune is in possession of information that goes to show that the Fetcher-Selous combine have been a trifle hasty in asking the people to vote them $10,000 purposes. No such sum is needed according to their own showing, and it is known that the government is disposed to treat Nelson at least not unfairly as compared with its more than fair treatment of Rossland. The ?10,000 for the publis schools, the $50000 for the isolation hospital (the one thing that alderman Selpus is "sweet" on), and the $5000 for the fire alarm system were introduced for only one purpose, and that purpose was to try and defeat the endorsement of the $150,000 for the electric power plant, tl remains to be seen whether the property owners of Nelson will allow themselves to be "jobbed" in the interests of the West Kootenay Power & Light oCmpany. Mackenzie & Mann seem to have trouble with labor everywhere. The contractors who are building their roads through Ontario and Manitoba complain of-the-way-j/n-which-they-are-treated- and they seem to be the only silver-lead mine operators in British Columbia who are not working their mines because of an unwillingness to pay the standard rate of wages. At one time "Bill" Mackenzie and "Dan" Mann were considered pretty decent men with which to do business, but, eveidently, since becoming capitalists they are like nine out o�� ten capitalists in this respect: They dislike to see anyone make a dollar except themselves. More Chinese Murders. SAN FRANCISCO December 7.���Another Chinese has been murdered as a result of the Wong Chin family feud in Chinatown. While walking along the street Wong Get was approachsd from behind and shot four times in the back, the wound proving fatal in a short time. The murdered threw away his pistol ahd ran up the street to a nearby house, where he was found by the police. He gave his name as Yee Loon.

Thus, periodically, he locks up more than is wise in bricks and mortar and steel. Even in his prudent moods he does not keep much actual cash, but he likes to keep his capital growing. He does not believe in gut-edge security, except for insurance companies and savings banks, because capital does not increase fast enough in 3 per cent stuff. His admirers have been asserting that he is going to be a great banker, if he is not one already. Probably he will be, some time, but that time is distant. James M. Keilie of Revelstoke occupies a column and a half in the Nelson Miner of Sunday attempting to prove, that The Tribune is in favor of disfranchising the people of Revelstoke nail Golden. If the people of these two towns are all as foolish as Keilie is, they shoud be franchised. Property owners, if you would see your real estate increase in value, vote FOR By-Law No 102. Increase of Government Injunction. The pointed commems of judge Tuley before the Iroquois Club of Chicago upon the rapid development of government injunction cannot fail to arrest the attention of the thoughtful. With he past twelve months judges in the United States and Canada have been particularly busy reading new theories 'into the law which they are supposed to interpret. In their eagerness to exercise authority at critical moments they have arrogated to themselves not only the right of the legislative power to make laws but the duty of the administrative branch of the government to enforce them. The fashion having once been set, there has grown a sort of rivalry betwen the courts of equity as to which one can go the farthest. Thc process of the usurpation of power by the judiciary is thus briefly described by judge Tuley: The judge, without hearing the defendant, decrees what he shall or shall not do in advance and without a hearing, enforces the performance of the commands of the writ, then brings the SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent.' GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. The Panacea for Trust Evil. WASHINGTON, December 8.���Publicity, which is president Roosevelt's theory of the legislation best adapted to restrict the trust evil, is provided for upon an elaborate scale in a bill introduced by representative Littlefield of Maine. It requires all corporations engaged in interstate commerce "to file returns with the secretary of the treasury disclosing ..their true financial condition, and of their capital stock, and imposing a tax upon surh as have outstanding capital stock unpaid in whole or n part." Before September 1st of each year all corporations engaged in interstate commerce must make reports, upon blanks -which=the=government^will^proyide=for that purpose, giving their name and the place and date of their organization, and the same nformation respecting constituent companies. If there has been a reorganization the name of the original corporaton must be given with the same information as to all prior companies in the chain of organization. These reports must show the amount of capital stock, authorized number of shares, par value, whether common or preferred and distinction between each, the amount issued and outstanding, the amount paid in, and whether in cash or property, and if in property, describing in detail the kind and character, with the cash market.value at the time paid in. The total indebtedness also must be shown, giving its nature and the purposo for which it was incured. The reports also must set forth the assets at prevailing prices and the liabilities, with current assets and liabilities, total earnings anu income, operating expenses, interest, taxes, mainten-, ance, .permanent improvements, net earnings and dividends declared, with rate and date during preceding year, and the salaries of officers and wages of employees. Swearing to a false report is made perjury, punishable as such under the criminal statutes. Corporations engaged in interstate commerce whose capital is. hot fully, paid in are required to pay an. annual tax on their capital stock. The tax is made a first lien, and corporations failing to pay it shall be restricted from ,doing interstate business. The secretary of the treasury is required to publish for free distribution a list of al corporations thus reporting. America's Credit Relations. NEW YORK, Decern Der 8.���An article by theflnancial editor of the London Times on the credit relations of the Lnited States and Great Britain has appeared. In the opinion of the editor the United States is in the position of a young, vigorous and honest manufacturer, who has also had great success as a farmer, and who is able to command first class credit at his banker's. He makes a great deal more net income than he needs, and employes all that he does not spend in extending his business. He has occasional fits of exhu- berant energy and enthusiasm, when he borrows largely to construct works Getting Bather. Monotonous. NEW YORK, December 6.���The Paris correspondent of 'the London Times quotes a dispatch from The Hague correspondent of the Temps in regard to the reports of a serious quarrel between queen Wilhelmina and her husband, prince Henry of the Netherlands. The Temps vouches for the correspondent as from a contributor who has the reputation of sending accurate information. The correspondent says the malicious rumors in ' regard to the queen and prince Henry are fabrications of cheap society papers in Holland. He adds: "It is a most happy thing that there is no domestic strife, the queen loves her husband and harmony has always prevailed." LONDON, December 6.���A dispatch to the Evening News from The Hague published today says peace reigns at the palace, and the happiest - man in Holland is major Van Tots who was wounded in defense of the queen by prince Henry, or as all the Dutchmen now contemptuously call him, "the German."

Neligan, third officer of the steamship Irada and an official observer of marine events for the hydrographic office, makes the following, official report: October 26th, 1901.���At 11 a. m*. today, in latitude 27 degrees 26 minutes north, and longitude 90 degrees 18 minutes west, passed a large sea serpent appearing about 100 feet long. The head was blunt; square-' nose and was ejecting water to the height of two or theree feet from; its nostrils. The animal or fish had three distinct sets' of fins and a tail lying- across like a porpoise. On its back was a series of humps like a camel. It was heaumg about east (true) and moving slowly. This seems to settle it���if there was any doubt about it. Since the dawn of history, since that flrst mariner whom Horace sauTmust have ' had a heart thrice bound round with triple brass to dare to adventure the unknown sea, there have been reports of sea serpents. They have ranged in size from the length of a giant boa-constrictor to the one described in the fo'castle song: From the tip pf his nose to the tip of his tail It's just nine thousand mile. . Scientific men have made due allowance for the vivid imaginations of seafaring men and have recognized that behind these tales there was a solid truth���a survival of those ancient monsters which peopled the sea when man was still a tailed arborean, speaking the ian"guage=which=professoriGarner*-makes= a living and a stir by trying to recover.- It is not strange that none of these monsters has ever been captured. The sea is so vast both in surface and In depth... When they die they go to the bottom or are soon torn to pieces by other fish and sea birds. They avoid the haunts of man. It may be that some of the more formidable ones have now and then met and attacked a small ship. If so, perhaps they destroyed th'e last witness of a combat so hideous that no imagination of possible horrors of the mysterious sea could conceive it. Origin of Beneficent Institution. One afternoon last year a Parisian lady saw a servant girl dissolved in tears seated on her knees. Inquiries elicited tho naive confession that she had been spending the previous hour in fruitless efforts to arrange the infant's attire, and after hopelessly struggling with the mysteries of swaddling clothes had given up the attempt. How was she to face the mother, her mistress, with the child in this undressed state? Despair at the thought had driven her to tears. Between the sobs she explained that she had that morning accepted an r.ivitation as nursery maid without ever having held a baby in her arms before. The kind hearted lady dressed the hapless infant and determined there and then to start a school for servant girls. The institution is now a flourishing concern, and the lady who founded it has had the. satisfaction of turning out several hundred domestic servants, fully equipped for the efficient discharge of their duties in various branches. ooiMiiP-A-isnz" 0FFICE:��BAKER STREET WEST, NELSOfl, B.

An army officer just back from the Philippines tells the following' story of a callow young officer whose mistakes are a source of amusement to his comrades: Early in his military experience- tKe~li"eutenant"was awakened_Uy~ a sentry at night, who passed by his tent calling out the hour and vouchsafing the information, "All's well." The youth turned over and settled down to another nap, but the next hour he was awakened by the unwelcome, call. When this had been repeated for the third time he decided to endure it no longer; and going to the door of his tent called out: "Look here, my good man, it's very kind of,you to tell me the time, but 1 have a watch here by my bed, so please spare yourself further trouble^ Philippine Forts Closed. MANILA, December 5. ��� General Chaffee has issued orders for the closing of all ports in the Batangas and Lagiian provinces. The quartermasters there will cease paying rent to the Filipinos for buildings used for military purposes, as it is found that a large portion of the money so paid finds, its way to the insurgents in the way of contributions, and general Chaffee intends that no more government money shall find its way into the hands of the enemy. The reason for closing the ports is that too many supplies are found to be getting into the possession of the insurgents. General Chaffee intends giving* general Ball, commanding the troops in Batangas, every assistance he may require to subdue the insurgents. Governor Taft is improving rapidly and expects to return to the United States in the government transport Grant, which sails before Christmas. Denver's Experiment in Consumption. Enterprising physicians and citizens of Denver, Colorado, have undertaken an experiment of world-interest. They have formed a colony of consumptives on a ten-acre tract of land five miles from their city for the purpose of thoroughly testing what Is known as "the open-air cure." The colonists are all In the early stages of the disease. They are compelled by the rules to live outdoors day and night, summer and winter. They are provided with warm clothing, blankets and roomy tents, warmed by small stoves. All the work of the colony is done by its members. No profits are to be made by the enterprise, It is running on the co-operative basis, assisted by contributions of benevolent persons all over the country who take an interest in seeing the continuous-out-of-doors theory for the cure for consumption scientifically tried and, if it can be, proved. In several states, Massachusetts particularly, the open-air-sanitarium idea has been more or less tested, and good results are claimed for it. Denver's colony, as its promoters expect, will become large enough to furnish conclusive proof of its value. MONEYTALKS BUT WHAT YOU CET FOR YOUR tyONEY TALKS MORE.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-12-09 |
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. |
