ESTABLISHED 1892 TUESDAY .MORNING, AUGUST 27, 1901 DAILY EDLTfON BRATNOBER AND BRADEN 'JJ-2.1Ja.-SHJ ARE AT ROSSLAND LOOKING- OVER THE LE ROI AND WAR EAGLE. Outside Mine Managers Said to Be Plugging for McDonald������Geiser of Oregon on the Ground. ROSSLAND, August 26.���[Special to The Tribune.]���In addition "to Henry Bratnober, tlie San Francisco mining engineer, whose presence here at this time continues to excite local comment, is William Braden, formerly superintendent-of the United States assay oflice at- Helena, Montana, and now the western representative, of the United States Smelter Trust. Like Mr. Bratnober, Mr. ' Braden has nothing to say for publication, but he is unquestionably here in connection with Bratnober and the Le Roi mines. . Both men went through the ��� Le Roi and War Eagle offices and surface works today and spent the morning on the hill, and it is rumored that .both these properties may in some way lie included in a.,pending, deal'for all of the Red. Mountain mines. E. Si Clouston, general manager of the Bank of Montreal, arrived here this evening, Al Geiser, the Oregon man who has made a'contract to work the Le Roi mines and the Northport smelter, is making preparations to start. One of his sons arrived this evening and Geiser himself is expected tomorrow. A rumor, evidently inspired, was current this afternoon that one of the last official acts of Whitaker Wright was" to re-engage the. services of Bernard McDonald as manager of the Le Roi group for a further period,"of three years. As manager McDonald is entering into various contracts in connection with the mines and smelter, the reconstructed Le Roi directors will have their, hands full at the start if they discharge McDonald and repudiate his recently made engagements. It is openly stated that the recent meeting of mine managers held at: the Le Roi offices hero last week a warm cable message Avas sent to London strongly supporting McDonald, and advising that he be retained as manager. ���Just/at present it is said that the: cable business from Rossland; is:,,.uh"usually brisk, but the real work was done oyer;; six weeks ago,. and cables now won't save the .manager.. McDonald is making a hard fight, but it is generally believed that he is over-matched and beaten. Tlie, striking miners are hopefully looking for a conference, with tile- management and believe that a satisfactory agreement can be arrived: at. ������> ���": - Geiser Fixes the Rate of Wag'' s ��� ROSSLAND, August, -26.���[Associated - Press.]���Work will be resumed at the' Le Roi mine at once. Albert Geiser. the ��� well-known contractor and mine operator of Baker City, Oregon, arrived vin the city tonight to get the work under * way. He recently obtained an important contract-from the Le Roi company and comes prepared to fulfill the contract. When interviewed by a representative of the Rossland Miner, Geiser said he expected to enter on the contract at once. He hopes to obtain s full crew in this city at an early date. ^=if-not=immediatel>vas=a=large-numbei-of= miners who left after the last payday expected to return on learning of the resumption of work, for the reason that wages and general conditions are much more favorable here than in any camp in the Northwest. Mr. Geiser states the wages and hours will be: Machinemen, $3.50, eight hours; shovelers and unskilled'labor underground," $2.50, eight hours; common labor, surface, $2.50: carpenters, $3.50, nine hours; machine blacksmiths, $4, ten hours; engineers, $3.50 and $4, eight and ten hours. Geiser has opened an office at the coiner of Spokane street and Third avenue. will be submitted to the property owners tomorrow. They will also decide the riuestion of the new name of the proposed amalgamated cities. Three names, Miner, Empire, and Amalga, will be submitted. B. Lequime of Midway will erect a sawmill here immediately. E. R. Shannon, John Layeux, and C. F. Harrigan, all of whom are practical minors, - have leased -the Hummingbird mine, north fork of Kettle "river, for six months. They will continue the extension of the tunnel and within a fortnight expect'to bo able to ship several carloads weekly to the Granby smelter. The Hummingbird is a high-grade proposition, the returns from previous shipments to the smelter here averaging $20 per ton. A large portion of the stock is owned in Spokane. MAKING NEW DISCOVERIES LOTS OF SMELTER RUMORS THREE DIFFERENT SCHEMES NOW BEING DISCUSSED. One Man Will Build a Smelter to Treat an Output of Sixty Tons of Oro Per Day. In the Canadian Alps. FIELD, August 26.���Mr. Whymper's party returned here on the evening of the 23rd from a month's exploration of the Yoho valley and contiguous country. Preliminary examination from Mount Cathedral showed that a new and easy route up the valley could be made by keeping on high ground instead of at the bottom. This course was adopted and a new trail made. On July 30th the party descended into an attractive valley off the main valley to the'west. The name Upper Yoho is suggested for this. On the 31st two peaks were ascended at the head of Upper Yoho valley7 and two passes discovered, one a glacier pass leading across the Emerald group to Field and the other trending westward. On August 3rd Whymper and Klucker walked through the Upper Yoho valley to Field in ten hours by the Glacier pass and returned to the camp on August 7th, and on. the Sth crossed the pass from the^Upper Yoho valley into an entirely new valley, for which the name Verdant , valley is suggested, and got into ..Field in 15 hours. , On the 14th the ascent was made of a mountain called Insulated Peak, to inspect the high mountains of Waputtchk range. Mount Habel, sometimes called Hidden Peak, was ascended on August 15th,: Mount Collis on" the 19th, and Trolltilderto on the*21st. The whole of the Emerald group has been explored and its princK pal points ascended, mainly by Rev. J. Outram, who has been attached to the party for the last fortnight and has proved a valuable coafljutator. On August 22nd, in company with'the guides, he'madc the new pass from Yoho valley by the Lower Bow lake to La?gan in 12 hours, ���Tlievweather was bad'until the end of the journey, "but" since{ then has been fine.- Photography : and ���instrumental observations were much impeded by smoke and forest fires.

White company is cutting down the force at the Slocan Star mine. Negotiations aro on with the Selby and Trail smelters for for a rate which will permit the White company to ship the ore in a.crude state and save the cost of milling and the loss which always attends the concentrating of the high-grade ore of the Slocan. There is reason to believe that th' smelter people will give a rate away below anything ever before offered for lead ores. A man named Monkhouse, recent! *.* from the St. Eugene mill at Moyie, got hurt at the Minnesota Silver company's mill last night. He fell into the pulley on the main line_ shaft and suffered a compound* fracture of the right leg. Fire destroyed the finest part of the green timber in the Carpenter creek gulch on Sunday and Monday. This timber-was on the big hill between Carpenter creek and Cody creeks, just back of Cody. The fire is still burning p��ad the Noble Five has a gang of men protecting their flume. �� News Noies From Grand Forks. GRAND FORKS, August 26.���[Special to The Tribune.]��� Q. C.

CHICAGO, August. 26.���David Lind- skog, son of the Rev. Herman Lindskog, pastor of St. Angsgarius Swedish Episcopal church for 15 years, was shot and killed yesterday by police officer James H. Wiley. The shooting took place within 50 feet of the rectory, and the minister hearing the shots rushed out of the rectory and aided the policeman to lift his dying son into the ambulance. The policeman declared he fired while defending himself against an attack by a band of young men, who had been in the habit of congregating at Oak and Sedgwick streets. Wiley was badly cut and bruised in the encounter. Seeing that he was unable to cope with the gang he drew his revolver and fired. Later, three young men, said to have been companions of Lindskog in the fight, were arrested. NORTHPORT, August 26.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Unless all indications fail, other smelting plants are to be built near Northport in the near future. Dr. George H. Wells, owner of the hospital here' and a close personal friend of James Breen. the pioneer smelter man of this district, has recently made purchases of real estate in the Onion Creek valley, about five miles south of town. One of his investments was the Peter Ellisohn ranch, which lies on the south bank of the Columbia river at Little Dalles. ��� Dr. Wells paid' $5000 for the ranch, and it. is said that it is intended for, a smelter site. At Little Dalles, the whole volume. of the Columbia river passes through a narrow gorge, and it would be possible to dam .the stream and secure almost unlimited power. It is claimed that Dr. Wells and associates have seen the excellence of the location for a smelter and intend.to erect a plant there which will utilize the power furnished by the Dalles and thus add to their profits the cost of steam power, which amounts_to; a very considerable sum in the course ot a year's operation of a big smelter. ." �� 'H.! W. Brooks, who has.been in charge of Oliver Durant's property z&t Sheep Creek falls, left Saturday for the east, where he'.will purchase machinery for a sawmill, to be installed immediately on his return. The"mill is to run by power furnished by the falls, arid it is. rumored that its: installation is but the preliminary'.'step inthe development of plans: laid long since by, Mr. Durant for the improvement of the Sheep Creek water, power. Among other projects said to be enteftaineel by Mr. Durant; are a big smelter and refinery; an electric power plant, and a .new town, all to be built on his property "at Sheep. Creek falls, which is located. on the Red Mountain railway; about three mues north of this place, and thirteen miles from Rossland. :--.John- W.: Waits,- a -wealthy,, oil oper- * ator of Oil City, Pennsylvania, is-,also considering the erection" of a sriielter. His plant is to be built.on Cedar creek, seven miles southeast of Boundary and about fifteen miles from Northport. Mr. Waits has spent considerable money in opening up a number of properties on Cedar creek and is hampered by lack,, of transportation. At the Lakeview, one of his properties, there are now ten cars of ore on the dump, which carries good values, but cannot be shipped "because of the cost of hauling over the rough mountain roads. Mr. Waits intends to bring the smelter'to the ore, as he cannot profitably ship the ore to the smelter, and intends to build a small smelter with a capacity of about 60 tons per day. The plant will probably prove a great stimulus to mining all through the lower Pond de'Oreill and Cedar Creek country, which is very rich, but without adequate facilities- for shipment and treatment of its ores. the czar's presence at the maneuvres which are -of great importance to the nation." Whether the czar himself suggested the visit, M. Loubet replied: "These visits are not decided on without a previous exchange of views, which has-been progressing for some time. I personally inspected, the negotiations which led to the result now known. When I learned that the czar intended to review the German fleet in the Baltic, I deemed it more important than ever to secure a visit to France, and I myself, with the co-operation of M. Delcasse, prepared this great event, for which the negotiations were pursued with. the greatest secrecy." M. Loubet is further. \ reported as saying, that thanks to the Franco-Russian alliance war with China had been averted. He added,"that up to now the programme for. the journey accepted by the Russian chancellor did not include a visit.to Paris; OVER IN THE SIMILKAMEEN ALL THE TALK IS NEW FINDS AND RAILWAYS, The Tribune Is the Only Newspaper That Keeps a Correspondent on the Ground. STEWART RIVER DISTRICT =Commissioner=Cleared. ATLIN, August 17.���The royal, commission to investigate charges against the gold commissioner and other government officials, met on the 12th instant. Two or three complaints respecting the granting of leaves of absence on placer claims were lodged, but these were of an unimportant nature, and apparently arose through a misinterpretation of the law ia each case. Belyca, K. C, appeared for the -gold commissioner; Sawers for the complainants, whilst Jenns watched the proceedings on behalf of the crown. The commission sat for a shon time only, and closed yesterday at 3 p. m. Chief Justice McColl leaves Atlin today for Bennett. He will probably pay a visit to Dawson before returning to the coast. Will Keep the St. Lawrence Open. MENOMINEE, Mich., August 26.���A deal is about to be closed for the purchase of the ice crusher Algoma, which was used to break up the fields in Green Bay last winter, F. H. Clergue of Sault Ste Marie, the. wealthy railroad and steamship owner, is the intended purchaser. It is sai'd thai he will use the boat on the St. Lawrence river between Montreal and the Gulf, in order that the steamers of the Algoma Steamship Company may navigate the river all winter. * Something Slow Wanted. OTTAWA, August 26.���Hon. Mr. Muloek, in an interview, says that it is necessary for the Australian trade that Canada send shipments from Atlantic, handicapped by no" haul across the continent. It wants a sailing summer fleet from Montreal, calling at Quebec, St. John, and Halifax, reaching Adelaide first, then Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. He thinks the vessels could get return cargoes of sugar from Queensland. The Visit Was Prearranged PARIS, August 26.���The Patrie today charged that president Loubet, in conversation with a prominent person two days ago, with having made the following remark: "I always considered the Franco-Russian alliance exceedingly ���useful and fruitful to our country. I think the moment oppotune to obtain It Will Pay-Well. VICTORIA, August 26.���According to advices received from Dawson by the Hating, considerable mining development is being done on the Stewart and its tributaries this summer. There are in round numbers over C00 men engaged,, 230 of them being on" Dublin gulch, Clear and "Haggard creeks; "an equal number is employed, along the main river to Fraser Falls, and about 450 beyond the falls', on the two main forks. Good -prospects are reported to. have been discovered on several new streams .that promise development of the most gratifying .character,' and it is thought that on the south fork some important strikes have been-made. ���-,-., . J. A. Cameron;.a well known_Klon- , dike miner, has made a trip along tlie Stewart.-going as far as the Falls, and says .that he^ met several parties who reported strikes recently made along small creeks and says there are be- , tween CO and-^75 men; rocking* on the heads of bars .along the main stream." They are; taking out from $4'vto $6 per day and prefer this remuneration to the more uncertain results of prospecting. Joe Barrett,; a mine' owner of Eldorado and Bonanza has.feturned to*Daw- '.'son from the Stewart river. He says lie '. is fully convinced that" there will sbnie day be opened in that part of thb: world a field that will be second to none, and also.that there is nothing there at this time to warrant a stampede. Recently at the goyernment auction Mr;,Barrett purchased 1C5 claims :on Barlow creek. He owns all hut twenty claims of the whole creek.' He took a gang of men and three tons of provisions in" order to prospect his:proporty;%Tp.do ihe,assessment y'prk he says4hat it .will' eost;thc handsome sum of ��32.000, yet he proposes to expend more if necessary to find0what is there, f Gold has been rocked out, of these bars since 1886 and it .was a somewhat noted stream before Forty-mile creeks were found. They never paid -very big but have been worked every summer by a large number of men and have always been looked upon as a safe "grubstake" proposition. On account of the extreme fineness of the gold, quicksilver is used to catch it in the rocker bed. Twer men a week ago" made a fair strike on a small stream flowing in about 12 miles above the Falls, on the right limit. The discovery is located about five miles from the Stewart proper, and it yielded 70 cents to the pan, bedrock being struck at a depth of five feet. The creek was all staked when Mr. Cameron visited it. A large number of prospectors are en- cam pjid^around the Fraser Falls, most "6f"them~"preparihgrto~push��� iir~over~the~ forks 70 miles above. Reports of fair strikes are given by some of them. One report is that a discovery has been made at the South Fork, about 50 miles from its confluence. Another report tells of a strike on the North Fork, 20 miles from its confluence. If true, this will be the first find of gold made on that branch. The South Fork is navigable for heavily laden canoes for 125 miles above the confluence. There is an abundance of game in that section. On the McQues- ten branch of the Stewart���the most important tributary���are located the creeks where the main mining is being done this season. On Clear creek SO men are busy shoveling into the sluices and considerable money is being taken out. The best part of the paystreak is between discovery and 57 above where the most part of the work is being done. There are as many men on Taggart creek as on Clear, and pay has been struck in many places in quantities which will warrant summer and winter work. Bedrock is shallow, having a depth of 10 feet. Sixty men are working in Dublin Gulch and about a dozen claims are yielding well. Counting in Clear, Taggart and Dublin Gulch creeks, Mr. Cameron says the output for this summer will reach over half a million dollars. Smashed all Previous Records. NEW YORK, August 26.���Bobby Walthour of Atlantic in a match race motor- paced against Johnny Nelson of Chicago defeated the latter tonight, and in doing so smashed all previous indoor paced bicycle records from one to fifteen miles inclusive. Walthour jumped into the lead at the start and rode rings around the plucky little Chicagoan, who had the misfortune to lose his pace frequently and one of his motors broke down. In the fourth mile Nelson changed pace for the first time and lost no distance in doing so. After that point he never had a chance and was riding without pace at the finish, Walthour winning by 14 laps. Were Denied Admission.

V ��� ������-_ '������ Denis Murphy of Ashcroft, member for West Yale,-when here recently informed the correspondent of The Tribune that there will be no:'further-delay in the.repair of the Summit City camp and Roche River trails. Instructions have been issued from. Victoria to start work. An appropriation of $500 was provided for each trail. The work on the Roche River trail will be given to Gus Pouwels and Charles Bonnevier. the original discoverers of the camp. They located the Goden Crown cairn in the summer of 1896, and by their faith and persistency have received this recognition at the hands, of the government. Mr. Murnhy also stated that the srover-.i^ ment will build a jail, immediately at the back of the new provincial building, now rapidly nearing completion. Two "hundred^dollars^has^also^been-provided5 for the Copper Mountain trail, pending the expenditure of the appropriation for the new government wagon road. Mr. Barnes, a well-known Vancouver livery stable keeper, has purchased a fine lot of driving horses from William Manning. He took the band over the Hope Mountain trail to Hone, where they are to be shipped by rail to Vancouver. Word was received in town during the week that the survey parties in the field for tho provincial government, with a view to finding a pass through tne Hope range for the proposed Coast-Kootenay railway, were being followed by another party of engineers. It is surmised here that the second outfit represents the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern railway. This makes the survey more interesting than ever, as when the legislature next meets, there will be an abundance of data bearing on this much discussel question. Here the opinion is unanimous that there does exist a pass through the Hope range sufficiently, low to permit of the building of a railway. Honorable Richard 'McBride, minister of mines, accompanied by Denis Murphy of Ashcroft, member for West Yale, have been here investigating the requirements of-Princeton and the district. ��� On Sunday last, under the guidance\of mining recorder Hunter and colonel Robert Stevenson, they took in a number of the claims on Copper mountain", and both express themselves highly dengue*:!, with the showings. It is the first time that a minister of the crown, in his official capacity, has visited here, and the occasion was taken advantage of by the correspondent in obtaining from Mr. McBride an expression of opinion on several subjects of local interest. Thn burning topic of the day���the govcr.*.- ment's railway policy���drew from the minister the followin---: "I wish to deny emphatically that a proper survey of the Hope mountains for a fc'asible pass for a railway, has ever been made. A certain portion of the press has attacked the government for sending out an engineering party, claiming that others interested in the construction of a railway for tlio Mope range have already made surveys. This is not. the case, and no attempt to properly locate a lino of railway through this portion of the proposed Coast-Kootenay railway route has ever been made. The government proposes to make a compre hensive survey, and for that purpose* has placed in the field a party of prominent engineers under the direction of ex-governor Edgar Dewdney. We hope, and firmly believe, that the mission will be successful in discovering a feasible pass. The information plans and other, data resulting from this survey will be laid before the legislature. With this before each member an intelligent discussion can be had on the subject that may be fruitful in arriving at some understanding or basis on which to negotiate for. the early building of the Coast- Kootenay railway. The survey !s an independent one, and it is all nonsense to say thatjt is being done.for the bene- | fit of any particular railway company. It is being done for the benefit of the people of this province and for them only. Beside, when negotiations for the building- bf the proposed road dp come before the legislature, .the government will make ample provision for a full reimbursement of all moneys expended now on the survey." Continuing, Mr. McBride pointed out that at the time o' negotiations for the construction of a railway between the Coast and; the Boundary district, during the last session, that E: V. Bodwell, solicitor for the Victoria, Vancouver ;& Eastern railway, refused to give any security, for ^building through the Hope range. On behalf of his company he had agreed to buituing 30 miles from each end. When it came to discussing the Hope range portion he had declined to-go on. une reason for this, in Mr.. McBride's opinion, was that" a practicable pass through '.-���.���'the,: range had not at that time been, located.' Regarding the'appointment of-a gold commissionerfor the SimiiKameen, with headquarters here, the.! minister said: "One of the ^.principal objects of my trip was to look over the ground with this end in view. The government has promised that a gold commissioner should be appointed.' The new government buildings now nearing completion here contain offices for-such an official. Oh my return to Victoria the matter will be taken up, and in all probability a selection made." As a result of the minister's visit'an expenditure; of $200 was authorized on the trail'to Copper mountain. ��� Work on..clearing-.:and repairing both" the Summit City camp and Roche River camp trails, for which an appropriation of ?500 has been made, is io start at once.

LONDON, August 2C���The Admiralty has issued a highly technical record of the boiler testing race between the cruiser Hyacinth, fitted with water tube boilers, and the cruiser Minerva, having cylindrical, or Scotch boilers. Rear admiral sir William Domville, chairman of the boiler committee, "refrains from expressing an opinion, but he points out that the Hyacinth's coal consumption was 550 tons, and that the Minerva's was 451 tons. The maximum horse power developed during a certain two hours' run was 8700 for the Minerva, and 10,000 for the Hyacinth, without the latter perceptibly gaining on the Minerva. Radius of action so far as ��� coal was concerned at 7000 horse power, was for the Hyacinth, 2930 miles, and for the Minerva, 3000 miles. Wiman's Company Fails.

The rebels and armed bands are hiding and avoiding our columns ..with some success, goneral Beatson alone 'having- been in contact with the command of Scheeper. whom he is driving north." Kruger Interviewed, LONDON, August 27��� The Daily. Telegraph publishes today a long interview with Mr. Kruger at Hilveisun on lord Kitchener's latest proclamation. The correspondent says: Mr. Kruger, who seemed greatly improved in health; spoke vehemently and with intense feeling, rejecting the idea that anything had been changed except the attitude of the British. He insisted that the tactics of the Boers were still as regular as at the beginning of the war. Tiicy were smaller :and were divided into small parties because the British had divided their forces into innumerable small columns. He declared that ever since the capture of Bloemfontein the British had trampled upon the code of international law. =As^for_provision transports_and_cattle_ the British are continually seizing, Mr. Kruger said these were intended not for the Boer commandoes, which live from hand to mouth, but for the women and children. He contended that lord Kitchener's proclamation itself recognized that the Boers had a regular administration and army. The proclamation could have but one effect���to embitter and intensify resistance. He said the question whether any protest against it woulel be issued was still under consideration, but this matter was of little importance to the burghers who did not look to Europe for approval, but to America. Having characterized tne proclamation as the blackest crime committed against the Boers, Mr. Kruger closed the interview by calmly calling heaven to witness that the story of a Dutch conspiracy against the British was an "abominable lie, the most mischievous and diabolical lie ever coined since man first appeared in the world." He said, however, that peace was still possible on the basis of give and take, and that the Boers were ready to make reasonable sacrifices and to give satisfactory guarantees on the basis of independence and free pardon to colonial Africans. Came to Learn Conditions of Labor. NEW YORK, August 26.���On tho steamship Ethiopia, which arrived tonight, came twelve British workingmen,- who have been sent by an English paper to tour the country and study its trades. The men were selected by popular vote. A. Nicol Smithson, who will act as conductor for the expedition, says: "We shall visit Washington, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Cleveland, East Liverpool, Buffao. Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. The delegates came over here to study questions in which the British artisan is vitally interested. We will inquire into the conditions of the American wage earner, how they are housed and live, their hours, unions, and other things of interest to us on the other side."

Stor.-tf-x���I have a large warehouse for storing household or other goods. H. A. Prosser. There are complaints as to the way in which appropriations for roads and trails are expended; but never a word is heard of the schemes that are concocted to influence the government to expend large sums on roads and trails that are not needed. Recently a government agent was asked if the government would build a bridge across a river and make three miles of wagon road provided two Quarter sections of land in a certain neighborhood were taken up for actual settlement. The bridge and the road would cost not less than $3000. Another instance is cited of this abnormal craving for appropriations by self- seeking individuals. A speculator purchased several small lots of land from a railway company, and after selling one lot for more than he paid for the several lots, he is quite wrathy because the gov- , eminent does not at once make wagon J roads to each of his unsold lot*". . East and West Kootenay have been very liberally treated in the way of appropriations for roads and trails, and the discontented ones should realize that roads and trails cannot be built to every isolated mineral claim and unworked preemption in the two districts.

Richardson, ex-M. P. of Lisgar, Manitoba, now knows what it is to butt his head against a party wall. He claimed to be a Liberal, but not being able to convince the party that his ideas should be adopted, he rebelled, was caught, tried, and is now undergoing the punishment meted to him by the party leaders. When in politics, if a party man, do as your leaders order you to do. When you become a leader powerful enough, adopt your ideas, and see that your followers carry them out. A political party is like an army; it must obey its leaders to be successful. Stragglers are of no use to an army; independent quitters are of no use to a political party. Men like Richardson should keep out of politics. They are not. forceful enough to lead," and not powerful enough to keep in office once they aro ejected, This may not be right; but, it is politics, ''���'���-*->.��.<_ toto to 9\ 9} LADIES' SUNSHADES AT HALF PKICE.

Manitoba ought to beat the Roblin government, and to that end the opposition should offer the province something better than the shreds and patches of the Greenway party under Isaac Campbell, K.C. A Campbelite opposition can have/no charms for the anti- Sifton: Liberals, who took the province away from the Greenway government and away from the Laurier government. A. party led by Isaac Campbell will mean a'continuance- of Roblin government under a new name, just as a party led by hon. R. P. Roblin has implied the continuance of Sifton methods with ; a change in name only. Manitoba may as well tolerate a Roblin government as embrace a Campbell opposition. .. The progressive Conservatives and Liberals who have declared war upon the Roblin government can expect nothing from any such weak sister as an opposition led by Isaac Campbell, K.

Whin rayspictable English people go to war, they don't expict to have to keep it up foriyer. They'se other things to do. But - th' Boers wudden't stop. Manny attimpts was made to con-cilyate thim. 'If ye will lay down ye'er ar-rms an' cut ye'er hair,' said lord Roberts iv Candy- har an' Cork an' Preorya an' th' domin- yons beyond th' sea, 'an' f'rget Kruger an' larn to sing "Gawd Save th' King," ye'll be allowed to stand agin a wall an' be shot. Otherwise,' he says, 'I'll soon have to take dhrastic-measures agin ye,' he says. "'No,' says tli' Boers, 'we're sorry but wo must rayfuse ye'er kind wurrid iv welcome." Nawthin' wud give us more pleasure thin to provide good target practice f'r ye'er gallant la-ads,' they says. 'They need it,' says they. 'But,' they says, 'gr-reat us wud> be th' honor iv bein' burrid in th' Union Jack with a brass band to play over us, we like th' glad, free an' dishon'rable life iv th' veldt,' they says: , 'We must stay out an' injyc th' rural scenery awhile. How do ye know,' says they, 'but wan iv th' firin' squad mightn't shut his eyes an' hit us?' says they. ' * " 'Well,' says lord Roberts iv the city direchtry, 'if that's th' case,' lie says, 'I'm goin' home,' he buys, 'an' capture a few more cities f'r me title,' he says.

Whin an English marksman gets -that kind iv a dhrop on a man, he niver misses. But still, th' Boers rayfused" to come in. Thin th' war was renewed with gr-reat inergy.

The owners of the Gold Cure group on Briggs creek which puts Into the south fork of Kaslo creek, have completed the survey of their claims and will apply for a crown grant. There are six claims and a fraction in this group, but tliey are cut in two by the two original locations on the ledge. The group is owned principally by Nelson men, namely, Drive McBeath, Larry Peters, \V. 0. McLean, Charles Moore. Fred Stanwitz, and the Bell Brothers. There has been a great djal of work .done on .the.property, but it did not result in showing it up to advantage, as' the tunnels were run off the ledge. In surveying the group however some very c.1,11 ore was uncovered, assays from the croppings giving returns of 132 ounces Bilvef and Ci regular shipments are being made from the "property. At present prices he considers Noble Five stock the best buy in the Slocan. The owners of the Surprise on the top of the. Noble Five hill have also a good showing. At the Payne manager Garde is getting things 'in good shape and predicts that he will soon have the property looking as well as at any former period in its history. There are large quantities of concentrating ore on the dumps and in the Payne stopes wliich will receive immediate attention. At the .Last Chance Dr. Hendryx professes to be very successful in the experiments which he has been making with the electric mineral finder. The use which this system was put to was the tracing nf the ledge across the several claims in the group and in this Dr. Hendryx professes to be highly pleased with the results attained. At the Slocan Star work is going ahead nicely with a good force of men and at the Ivanhoe the mill is employed in working up the dumps while others are at work on development. School Principal Selected The board of school trustees met last night and selected a successor to principal Soady, who has sent in his resignation to take effect September 30th. They selected Albert Sullivan, who' is now principal of the Revelstoke school. Mr. Sullivan was offered the principal- ship of the Rossland central school, but preferred Nelson. He has a good reputation as a teacher. Principal Soally has come to the conclusion that working for $80 a month as a school teacher is not a paying business, and will hegin tho study of medicine after leaving Nelson, There were a number of applications for the position, and the trustees believe they have made a good choice. If the choice proves satisfactory the salary should .not be less than ?125 a month, Want to Borrow $2,400,000. MONTREAL, August 26���At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the C. P. R., which will be held on October 2d, the'shareholders will-be-asked to adopt a resolution authorizing lhe issue of bonds to the extent of ��480,000 sterling. The loan will be utilized to aid in the acauisition of steam vessels and (heir complement. An informal discussion upon the question of the city's water supply was the only interesting feature at the meeting of the city council last evening. Th-* subject was introduced by the city engineer, who informed the council that the_ dam at the outlet of Cottonwood lake had been completed but that- by reason of the low stage of water there- had as yet been no appreciable raise in the level of the lake. While: he was up tlio creek, however, he had recommended the diversion of a small stream into; Cottonwood creek. He had represented to the mayor that the diversion could be effected by a flume from 35 to 40 feet long and the "mayor: ordered the necessary work to be done; As a result this stream was added to the supply for the .electric.light power wheels and.in the' opinion of the city engineer it would furnish sufneint water to make up' the supply which the local smelter was at present receiving from the city. The supply of water from Whitewater creek was at the present time equal to 520 inches, so that in addition to the water of Cottonwood creek the city was receiving all told 580- inches. With respect to the scarcity of water during the two nights last week the city engineer reported that the shortage was due to the -burning out of the .Whitewater fiume in a couple places by bush fires. The necessary repairs to the flume had since been made however and there was at the present time no scarcity, there being a considerable overflow at the dam at, 6 o'clock. ' ' ��� Alderman Patterson directed attention to the fact that there was a great waste of water from the Anderson creek supply. He said that he had visited the flume and was convinced that two- thirds of the water which the flume was carrying was being wasted instead of being turned into the reservoir. He also complained of several imperfections in the arrangements made for the diversion of the water from Anderson creek. City engineer McCulloch disagreed with alderman Paterson as to the waste of water, but it was decided in an informal manner to have some repairs made to the-flume and dam as soon as a heavy rain sets in wliich will permit of the shutting off of the Anderson creek supply for a day or more as may be necessary. - * ��� In this connection the council author- Hzed=the=i)urchase=df^a,=cutoff "nozzle" for" the Pelton water wheel in the electric power station. For this contrivance it is claimed that it will effect a great saving of water in the running of the. electric light plant in that it will render possible the utilizing pf the entire head of water during the light portion of the night load on the machines without the ; waste which goes on at present. It was also decided to purchase a number of transformers for the electric light system so that certain lights in the outlying portions of the city could be operated from the alternating machine instead of from the direct current machine, the idea to save the heavy wire at present being used for these services for other portions of the system. City engineer McCulloch reported that the sewer connection desired by Messr.s. Emerson & Reisterer for their brewery ���would cost about $450. The council ordered the work to be done. The application of the Lawrence Hardware Company for the payment of $6 for work in thawing out a water pipe on the street was refused on the ground that the work was not ordered by the city. Alderman Hamilton reported that he had. interviewed John A. Turner, government agent, with respect to the payment of progress estimates on the new school which was being built jointly by the city and the provincial government, and he had been informed by Mr. Turner that he had received no instructions in the matter whatever. Alderman Hamilton intimated that it would be desirable to have the. school board communicate with the ggvernment so that somo joint action with-respect to the payment of progress estimates could be decided upon, THE PROSPECTORS EXCHANGE No. 4>, K.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-08-27 |
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. |
