ESABLISHED 1892 FBIDA.Y MORJTOTG, JANUAEY 31* 1902 TAPS TBE WEST NEW YORK CENTRAL BUYS CANADA ATLANTIC THIS GIVES THE AMERICAN ROAD ACCESS TO THE GREAT ' LAKES VIA OTTAWA OTTAWA, January 30.���Despite all denials to the contrary, the sale of the Canada Atlantic railway to the New York Central and St. Lawrence and Adirondack companies is all but completed. Dr. Seward Webb, who arrived here today confirmed this statement. He said that the sale had been completed except for a few minor details. The sale was made by Dr. Webb after he had interviewed Mr. Chamberlain, the general manager of the Canada Atlantic and had been closeted for an hour and a half with Mr. Booth, the principal owner of the road. To your correspondent Dr. Webb was brief, but to the point. "You may state," said he, "that negotiations for the sale of the road have been progressing satisfactorily and with the exception of a few minor details the deal is about consumated. I may say that I have been down at Mr. Booth's offices for the past hour and a half. My interview with him was very satisfactory.' It is pretty generally known that Dr. Webb, who controls the New York Central and Rutland systems, is acting also for vice president .Meyer, of the St. Lawrence and Adirondack company, ��.vhieh is an adjunct to the New York Central. Dr. Webb has met Mr. Booth on each occasion. Although denied at first, the deal, it has been learned, has been in progress since December when the" officials of the company's store departments were ordered to take stock. ���j The capital stock of the company : consists of $2,000,000 of preferred stock $5,200,000 of common stock and ?L200,- 000 of first mortgage at 5 per cent bonds, making a total capitalization of $11,-. 400,000. The road is one of the. best equipped in the country- and last year the total earnings amounted to $403,000. The price which is said Mr. Booth is asking .-for,, the , system is $10,000,000. This amount will give good value to tlie stock-holders. Dr. Webb says that he will have an interview today with Mr. Booth, in regard to the Canada Atlantic, so that there is evidently some truth about the story of parties being negotiating tc purchasing the road. Mr. Booth, who was seen late tonight, now admits that negotiations have beer going on for the sale of the Canada Atlantic for three months. This statement was drawn from him after being told what Dr. Webb said. itive that his wife's beauty attracted a designing young man from New York, nnd that she was abducted Dy him, aided by other persons. The only facts that appear to be clearly established aro that Mrs. Francilla is gone, and that Francilla is willing to pay $250 to get her back. Mrs. Francilla Is 22 years old. She lived with her husband at COS Brown street. Two days after Christmas she met him and they went shopping together. Francilla returned lo his work. His wife boarded a car for home. That was the last seen of Mrs. Francilla by her husband.. When he returned, at night their rooms were in disorder, bureaus and trunks having been rifled of Mrs. Francllla's personal effects. The husband said last night that with a detective he traced his wife from this city to New York, where she was concealed for a time In a house on East Fourth street, and also in a. house on Eighty-fourth street. "I have succeeded In learlng who took my wife away and the persons who assisted her in Philadelphia,"' said Francilla. "1 don't believe my wife had a chance to resist. If I get her back I will treat her as before. Unfortunately I have not sufficient evidence to warrant tlio arrest of persons who wore present and helped her pack her clothing. Once I get my wife I can begin suit. Her sister. Mrs. Theodore Goitz, of Rockaway Beach, i.s assisting me, and she will begin suit in a few days to compel the young man who abducted her to produce her in court. DAILY EDITION hour this evening.

IRELAND'S REIGN OF TERROR FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS Almon's Sensational Story WASHINGTON, January 30.���James Almon, who died here yesterday insisted thai $100,000 was offered him to poison president Lincoln. Almon kept the dairy that supplied tho White House with milk and cream during the civil war. This is the way Almon .told the story:" "One morning. In the early part of April. 186G, shortly before tho president was assassinated, I was driving in my wagon when two men stopped and one of them asked mc if I didn't want to make $100,00' quickly. Lscarcely knew_whati_to_say. buL -T~loia~Hlnn guessed"! did if it could be made on the level. He then asked me il I could keep a secret, and I told him 1 thought I could. Then he got right close to me, leaning over the wagon and said: 'Well, my man, here's $100,000 In good money. Every cent of it is vours if you will takr this little box of powder and put In into the cream you servo to president Lincoln this morning. Pour out the cream in the measure and put this powder into It. Nobody will over suspect anything and thr $100,000 is yours.' Ho showed mc a tremendous big roll of money and It looked mighty nice, but I don't want any of that kind If it had been as large as the treasury building it would not have tempted me. I told the man r wanted and needed the money, but I could have nothing to de with any such business if they really meant what they said. They tried to urgur the mutter with me. but T wouldn't listen and drove away, while they cursed me. 1 kept that experience to myself for a long time."

Frightful Coasting Accident PLATTSBTJRG, New York, January 30.- A frightful coasting accident occurred al Kceseville this morning, in which one young man was killed and two young ladies were fatally injured. A large party was coasting on Academy hill, using .���:. large bobsled holding from 12 to 20 people. The.sleigh became unmanageable and ran into a telegraph pole while going at great speed.

Francilla is pos it Drew a Good Honse The production of the musical'festival, which was given in the opera house last evening under the direction of Hen* Steiner, was fully up to the high standard which anticipation had set for it. Considering also the fact that it was the first attempt in Nelson at a production of the kind, the audience, both in point of numbers and appreciation was most encouraging. Those who are at all familiar with the work will recognize that in deciding to produce the Stabat Mater, Mr. Kydd undortoqlc no small*task, and for this reason the success of last evening's production is more than gratifying. It presents difficulties which well grounded musical organizations do not care to face without even more opportunities for rehearsal than were accorded to the members of the local chorus, and it was therefore evident that the members of the company must have given their work careful study. The opening chorus and quartette, "Lord 'Most Holy" prepared the audience for a most enjoyable musical evening. The quartette was composed of Mesdames Parry and Hannington and Messrs. Kydd and Grizzelle, to whom also fell the whole of the solos, duets and quartettes. Following this Mr. Kydd sang, the air, "Cujus Animan," whicli .is conceded to he one of the .finest tp.nnv solos written. It was well rendered and was easily Mr. Kydd's best effort in Nelson. Then came the soprano and mezzo soprano duet, "Power Eternal," which was remarkably well sung by Mrs. Parry and Mrs. Hannington, their cadences at the finish being very prettily rendered. The bass solo, "Through the Darkness" gave Mr. Grizzelle another opportunity to add to his popularity. It is a very difficult number but the soloist acquitted himself well. . This was followed by the chorus "Thou Hast Tried Our Hearts" which was at the same time the prettiest and best rendered, the soft passages being remarkably well sung. The cavatina, "I Will Sing of Thy Great Mercy" Which was sung by Mrs. Hannington, was one of the gems of the evening and drew from the audience a well deserved encore. In the air and chorus, "lnfiammotus," Mrs. Parry was heard to advantage. In this the soprano has to take the high C, and although suffering from a severe hoarseness Nel- son's^favdrite^soloist^acquitted^herself well. The chorus in this was also very effective in its accompaniment, the tenors and basses producing excellent tones in their chromatic ascensions. The '"Amen" chorus was not as well rendered as the other numbers. It is even more difficult than the others and could doubtless have been improved upon with practice. Following an intermission of ten minutes the Cavaleria Rusticana, by Mas- ccgni, furnished a very happy diversion, the participants being Mr. Harris, violin; Herr Steiner, cello; and Mr. ���Tcwett, piano. They received an encore and responded. Perhaps tlie most enjoyable number of tho evening, however, wns Mrs. Parry's redition of "Ave Maria" in which she was accompanied by Herr Steiner on the cello and Mr. Jowett on the piano. The prelude to this was by Bach and the air by Gounod. Mrs. Parry's performance in this was artistic and received a well merited encore. The Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah, by Plandel, rounded out the evening's programme, and it was splendidly sung. The chorus was made up of the following: Sopranos���Mesdames McLeod, R. M. Macdonald, Dr. Armstrong, Rutherford, Walley, R. M. Bird, J. J. Campbell, Otis, Brown, George Bell, and Misses Lawr, Temple ton, Manhart, Crickmay, Lennox, Hopkins, White, Skead and Lillie.

There are about 10,000 stamps in thg district, which can crush about 7,000,- 000 tons a year. The war has blown over Johannesburg without doing any vital damage to the Dlants. "Since its discovery, in 1S85, the Rand has yielded $400,000,000 in gold, and just before the war was yielding $iuu,000,000 a year, or one-third of the world's production���a rate which some years before, when the yield was but $35,000,000 a year, I had predicted would come before the end of the century. "Yet, with all this richness there may bo some disillusionment .in the next generation. The reefs, it is true, aro over a milo deep and conditions favor deep mining. Tho increment in temperature is only 1 .degree in 200 feet, so that we can mlne^down _0,000 feet. Tho deposits are not, however, as asserted, practically unlimited. I believe tho "future life of the Transvaal will not exceed *30 years, whicli means a yield of not much more than $3,000,000,000. In eight or ten years after peace tho Rand will have reached its zenith. "The diamond mine sat Klmberley will go on longer. At Klmberley they have in 30 years mined 15 tons of diamonds, worth $500,000,000. The DeBeers company, which controls the output and restricts it according to the market, produces yearly 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 karats, worth ->a),000.000. A syndicate purchases the whoie at from $5 to $S n,.karat. The life of the mines Is Indeterminate, the company estimating it at 14 yars. Mining has been carried down 1600 feet, mostly In extinct volcano craters. "In South Africa we compress centuries of mining history into decades and we hold tho world's record In mining for rapidity in exploitation, drilling and hoisting. At Klmberley 2000 tons have been lifted up a 1000 foot shaft ln ono day. while at. tho 'Simmer & Jack,' we sent down a 22 by" 20 foot shaft 2200 feet In one month. We have at any expense got men from the Calumet H. T-Tecla and other companies to do this, but the work was really done, not by them, but by young fellows just out of college, whom we told to go ahead and use their brains. South Africa rivals America in disrespect for tradition. In fact, its brightest pioneers are Americans, and the leading? figure among Johannesburg mining engineers Is T-Tennan Jennings, a Harvard graduate. There arc many problems ahead of the Rand, the chief being that of power. There nro no navigable rivers and practically no water falls. The Kaffir, of whom there are 100.000 In the Rand.

' / ' '���*' 4. " ������*.-' .. - ��� ������ +_ ���I-HrW-H-W^l-W' A new scheme.for, concjtliation.in la-, bor disputes has been introduced in the; Ontario legislature. It is called a con.-; ciliaton and arbitration act, and pro-: A*ides that upon the reauest of the, mayor, or other head of a municipality,, in which a lockout or strike is threat-] ened, the secretary of, the. provincial; labor bureau shall forthwith proceed] to such point and use his best endeavors.: with both parties concerned to averts the threatened strike or, lockout. Whatever else may be said of this.suggestion it must be conceded that it has one y,ery important advantage over somewhat- similar enactments which, vest the ini- tiative in provincial government executives. If the bill before the Ontario leg-, islature is given force of law it may. be, -^accepted^as-assured^that-m^the-event-ol- threatened trouble its merit will at least he put to the test. This is more than, can be said for any enactments in. which provincial authorities alone were vested with authority to set the legislature machinery in motion. The first thought that comes to most provincial ministers, in event of industrial troubles, is the ordering out of the militia. Brit-- ish Columbia as well as the other pro: vinces has found out by experience, that difficult as it may be to secure the nas: sage of conciliation and arbitration acts, it is easy compared with the difficulty of forcing administrations up to the point of putting them into effect when conditions are such as to require them. Much depends upon general Kitchener now whether Canada's premier shall have a chance to shine as a peace maker between the Briton and the Boer in South Africa. If Holland's offer ol mediation is accepted sir Wilfred Laur rier's chance to win fresh laurels will be wiped out, and, as the press dispatches indicate, it is now up to Kitchener to say whether it shall or shall not be accepted. The suggestion of sir Wilfred in this capacity is not new. II originated months ago in eastern Canada, and has been more or less favorably commented upon hy the British press. For some time, however, nothing was heard concerning the matter, and it might have become entirely forgotten hut for its revival by Lawson D. Smith of the South African Chartered Company. That Canada's first minister is eminently fitted for such a mission is generally admitted, but it may he that the Boers would prefer to deal with people of their own race, when they are ready to discuss peace, than with Canada's eminent son. It is just possible that the achievements of Canada's representatives on the field have not increased the love of the Boers for Canadians, And If those who have returned from South Africa are to be believed they certainly have not. This also is a consideration, and, in the event of sir Wilfred being passed over, it will be no slight to him since it may be taken for granted that his rejection was due to the fact that he was too pronounced a Briton for tlie job. It is not improbable that executive clemency will be exercised in the case of Dr. Harbottle, of Burford, Ontario, who a few days ago was sentenced to; one year's confinement in Central prison for shooting at a man named Stuart. The concensus of opinion appears to be that the unfortunate- doctor has already, been sufficiently punished. He was a pro-Boer and was foolish enough to say. so. This was the cause of all his trouble, as the petty spirit of the villagers, made it as unbearable for himself and the, other members of his family as their ingenuity could suggest. It is now intimated that the doctor's tormentors^ were as much to blame as himself and, that the clemency of the crown miglit, very properly be exercised.

Lieutenant Davis is on his way to, his home" in Calgary, but he thinks he will go once more to South Africa, and accept a position on the constabulary under colonel Steele. Mr. Davis gives an authentic account _of _the_death^of^Gatl ipg^Gn n^Howard ,��� as he arrived on the spot ten minutes after the murder���for. it was a murder ���took place, and learned the details from a Kaffir servant, who had escen- ed, as well as from" captain Beattie, who, though wounded in the affair, was able to join the column of which Mr. Davis was a member. Colonel Howard, accompanied by captain Beattie, an orderly named Northerly, and a Kaffir servant, rode in advance of the column of. scouters, whose business it was to find the Boers, to a place called Nooriplatts, on the border of Swaziland. In a natural declivity a number of Boer wagons had been collected, althought the Boers themselves, having seen the column approaching from the distance, removed behind some hills. Colonel Howard and his staff moved forward, and entered the depression or hollow in which the wagons were huddled together. Seeing that, he was almost'alone, the Boers from the hills began firing. Captain Beattie was hit, so was the orderly, but colonel Howard remained unhurt. A Boer field cornet descended the bill, and ordered the colonel to throw up his hands. This he did. His arms were taken from him, and he was brought behind a cart, where he was deliberately shot by the field cornet���once in the mouth, and once, in the shoulder. The.orderly was riddled with bullets. Captain Beattie mia'de his escape and rushed for the advancing column. The Kaffir servant, though struck, managed to crawl away. When the column came up the scouts began to fire, and got their guns in position. The Boers retreated. Howard and the orderly were then quite dead. They were buried side by side. Practical Sympathy for Victims NEW YORK, January 30.���The contractors who are building the Rapid Transit tunnel met today and subscribed "J3000 to be used for the benefit of the wife and family of William Tubbs, master mechanic, who lost his life in the dynamite explosion of Monday while (endeavoring to put out the flames in the dynamite house. Resolutions wore also adopted expressing their sympathy for the family of the unfortunate man, and for sub-contractor Shaller, with respect to whom the resolution declared absolute confidence in Mr, Shallcr's UBin�� Trail Eeffnery Product MONTREAL, January 30.���What promises to become a very important industry for Canada is likely to be established shortly in Montreal. This is a factory for the manufacture of white and red lead and litharge���substances used largely for the making of paint and glass, and for the glazing of earthenware���from pig lead. The decision of the Canadian Pacific railway to establish a lead refinery in connection with their smelter at Trail has brought matters to a head. The refinery, which forms an adjunct to the Trail smelter, is now being built, and will be ready for the treatment of the smelted ore early in May. The commercial importance of the industry will be realized when it is stated that many thousands of tons of white and red lead are imported annually from Germany, while the crude lead ore from which these leads" are manufactured has heen exported from the Rossland and British Columbia mines to Europe. The new refinery at Trail will take the silver and lead ore from the smelter, and convert it into pig lead, separating the silver from it. The pig lead where it will be manufactured into the leads required by the painting trade,, will afterwards be distributed for con-' sumption all over the Dominion. , Van Home's Cuban Schemes MONTREAL, January 30.���"Sir Wil-: liam Van Home, in Cuba, has one of the greatest proposition in the world.: The money that will be made out of that island by his syndicate will, I be-1, lieve, be fabulous." Mr. W. H. Townsend, traveling passenger agent of the Great Rock island Toute, who recently spent a year in Cuba, was.at the Windsor hotel today,' and spoke in enthusiastic terms of what he had seen during his sojourn on that island. "It does not require very much in-: sight to notice the vast scope of sir William Van Home's scheme for the development of the island of Cuba.: There is a vast tract of country there today with absolutely no railway facilities. Sir William will run a road right through this rich country, and will thus be in a position to tap marvelously rich natural resorces. For instance, there is��� the=H;iinber���the���most���expensive woods in the world are here in profusion, only waiting to be cut and marketed. The mahogany and rosewood growths are splendid. "Then the road will probably lead to the development of the famous copper mine at Santiago, which was abandoned owing to the expense under former condition for shipping tho ore to Havana. Sir William's line will also run through the' turquoise region." 9\ 91 to 9\ (jjl 36 BAKER STREET Ifi^-fi''. 00. 00 .00 . 00 '00 . 00 -00 . 00 '00 . 00 .00. 00 .00.00. 00. 1 lf~ M\ T-i WM Till Mil Ml ��W WI" &��^&'4k-&SLS< to to >0B��f NELSON, B.C. .���^- -*^->__.. ������������n.'^. -b*.*^* -*��^.'^. **^.**��_L'_^ ��� 00 ' 00' 00 ' 0**" ia0 ' 0S0' 00 ��� 00' 00 ��� am* . 0r.. to to m NEW ARMY REGOLATIQNS All In Fluttering Anticipation WASHINGTON, January 30. ���The committee on arrangements for tlie re- iccption of prince Henry held another meeting today and completed the itinerary of the western and southern 'trip which will be taken by the prince. The committee has found itself embarrassed by its desire to meet the wishes of prince Henry to sec as much of the United States as possible in the time al- (loted to his visit and the wishes of the various cities and communities has resulted in a programme which allots a very short period of time to many of the localities that had hoped to have the prince with them at least, one or two days. In Cincinnati his stay will be less than half a day and in other cases it has been necessary to cut out important cities or' break up the long projected night runs. Atlanta has been omitted from the programme and Chat- tenoga probably will be the extreme southern point. No More Luxurious Campaigning At last we are going" to war, in war fashion.. A headquarters order is coming out, it is said, for the peremptory cutting down of all baggage and transport. Buck wagons, that wero bedrooms and salons combined, upon wheels, wherein certain column leaders leisurely and luxuriously campaigned, are to become things ot* the past upon trek. The chiefs will probably stay or go behind with the cooking stoves, which have also to be discarded. So, too, with the Capo carts, which carried the oilicers' excellent .mid-day lunches, with the napury, crystalware, wines, tables and-chairs. _ea, even the extrns ot*���comiort, the changes of raiment, the bed steads, mattresses, pillows, portable conveniences, and what not; besides musical instruments, light literature, sporting guns and gear���all, all must be left behind, for each ollicer shall carry SO pounds oi" baggage and no more. So may it bo. It will be' hard, bitterly hard lo do real soldier fashion���no tents, no countless changoa of. l$o��;��lu and c-lollioo, roduoo,.l tn, iit most, a waterproof and two blankets, and "dossing" on the exposed veldt just as Tommy Atkins has done so often and long, with naught more than army rations for meals. I suppose the hosts of personal servants and orderlies, and soldier drivers' of the mess and regimental Cape carts will- now be sent back to the ranks to carry rifles. ��� I,ong have I held that the enlisted British soldier should be a lighter, not a menial, and if tho latter"must be kept in barracks or tho field, he should be engaged a.s a servant from the physically unlit classes, not lads having the war spirit. From December 1st next the new orders, of thirty pounds of rations goes into effect. It is a stern, but, I am sure, a very necessary measure, tho more so as the system of hunting the Boors with columns moving far from any depot base still prevails. Whirling men by tens ot thournnds from one end of this, vast country to another incurs great waste, and has not ben over- successful in producing required results��� Ihe suppression of the comn andoes. The districting of the country and operating from centers but thirty-five to forty miles off, would not only enable mobile columns to dispense with other than transport, but would lessen by frequently relieving in the returns to depot, the hardships of trekking with naught but what ono stands up in. It is but taking another leaf out of-the nomadic Boors' book, for the commandoes ^ciLch,^.oxeopt^upoiwvery=.special_'3Ccasion.<_ hang about chosen districts. * Thore they hide, construct rude shelters, conceal their surplus provisions and ammunition in caches.

Lundell Maple, Conservative, against the British officers who purchased army horses in Austria-Hungary, censured sir John for unjustifiable attacks on the integrity of tlie oilicers. At the same time, however, the committee finds that an excessive price was paid whereby horse dealers wore enabled to divide a profit of about $75 in the case of each horse, or animal, which cost the dealers only ifUO to $85. The committee also expresses surprise at the fact that the government remounts department took no steps to ascertain the best source of supply in Hungary until the South African war had been in progress for six months, thereby involving the country in a loss of $60,000 on a single contract.

He left, his home Tuesday morning, and had not been seen by any of the family since, lt was only through the finding of a farewell note, which he had written, and which gave his house address, that his identify was discovered. Mr. Mc- Keever was prominent in political and sporting circles. The note which ho left said: "I am sick and despondent, and hope all my friends will forgive this rash act." Stormy Scene in Dutch Chamber BRUSSELS, January 30.���The chamber of deputies here was the scene of a free fight today between the Socialist and Catholic factions. The trouble grew out of a proposal to prosecute M. Smeets, a Socialist, for a recent revolutionary speech. The disorder began in the galleries, which were eventually cleared by force. Thereafter the uproar was continued on the floor. The Socialists advanced in a body against the benches of the Catholics, shouting taunts and epithets. The deputies finally engaged in a fight, and the sitting was suspended, but when the session was resumed, the disturbances recommenced and prevented the transaction of business.

Savings Bank Branch OCRK-NT RAT- OF INTEREST PAID. FAMOUS AUTHORS FORTUNES Geraldine Bonner is the Argonaut A short time ago sir Walter Besant, the novelist, died in England, leaving an estate valued at forty thousand dollars. For years sir "Walter has been one of the foremost figures in the English lit- terey world; a grateful sovereign knighted him; an admiring people read ' his books. He was as well known on this side of the water, where not only his novels had a good circulation, but where articles of his appeared from time to time in the best-known periodicals. His working life had extended over a long period. 'No writer could have been more industrious, and few modern ones have produced so large a number of books. The epoch of his collaboration with Rice, to which such charmng tales as "The Golden Butterfly," Ready Money Mortiboy," and "So They Were Married," belong, is quite a long way behind us. After Rice's death, when people were wondering what Besant would do now, he quite electrified the public by the launching of that most delightful "novel with a purpose," "All Sorts and Conditions of Men." This book made such an impression that the "People's ���Palace" he had dreamed of became a reality. Many other aooks followed it, romances mire and simple, like "Arm- orel of Lyonesse," other novels with a purpose, tales with a historical background," like "The Chaplain of the Fleet," and purely historical and antiquarian works on London, on which subject he was an authority. The period of his active literary life must have extended over from twenty-five to thirty- five years, and-during this time his work was ceaseless. " Yet when he dies he leaves a fortune that would be considered poor for a prosperous grocer in a small way of business. There can be no question that the rewards of literary labor are pitifully small. Besant is only one of many. The writing man has advanced from the position where he lived in Grub street, . and put food into his stomach, and a coat on his back by being a flattered sycophant of some rich man of quality, to whom he dedicated his books and wrote poems. AVhen he was too proud to do. this he starved, like Farquhar, in a garret, or underwent the bitter pangs of Johnson, who is said to have written Rasselas in two days to make money to pay for his mother's funeral. A few debonair spirits became the protegees of fashion and beauty, and made a scrambling passage of success between tbe uncertain favor of princes, and even more uncertain smiles of great ladies. But, for the most part, the writer was a member of the same family of mountebank entertainers of the public, to which the player belonged. He lived by the caprice of the rich, tolerated for his capacity to amuse, or his power to turn and sting holding a position little more dignified than, that of the black servants who wore silver collars, and "were'at^once'the'pets^and'the^slaves-ol^ the ladies of fashion. The writer has risen from these dark places with much more success than the actor. The world is still inclined to look askance at the sta-*;e and its people. But the profession of, letters has come to stand for all that is brave, dignified, and honorable. The one clinging remnant of its despised days is in the inadequate payment that rewards its efforts. Here and there a large sum is made; the public hears of this, and infers that it Is in the ordinary course of things. But astonishingly few fortunes have been realized from the literature of fiction, Ouida, it is said, made one in this century, whicli she has now lost. Dickens did not leave a fortune, neither did Thackeray, and in the Brookfleld letters, then at the summit of his fame, he several times alludes to the irksomeness of writing his weekly article for Punch, but says he can not afford to give it up, as it brings him five guineas a week. This is twenty-five dollars, and one of the ' most prominent novelists in England could not afford to lose it. Money has been made in large sums by odd books, which strike the public n.t the right moment, or which, for some occult reason seize them like an epidemic. Mrs. Stowe made a fair fortune by "Uncle Tom's Cabin;" Miss Beatrice Harvadan would have made a small fortune by "Ships That Pass in the Night" if she had held her royalties in it, and had had it copyrighted in the United States. But these are odd chances, queer divagation of public taste, that no one can count on, or account for. And in nine cases out of ten they are never repeated by tho same people. The established novelists with the great reputations leave no large sums behind them. Some of them have worked for years eight hours a day, and produced books that have been read by the hundreds of thousands, yet they died comparatively poor. How much money did Wilkie Collins and Charles Reade leave when they passed to the undiscovered country? In his curious and interesting autobiography Anthony Trollope gives us a picture of the conscientious, and what might have been called unspirited novelist, and his manner of work. By the effort, of years of production he amassed What would be called, if made in a dry- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE " with wnicn is amaixjamatkd THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. HKAD OFFICE: TORONTO.

He did not live entirely by literature, as he had a good position in the postal department, which gave him a fair income. Yet, his reputation once established, he worked day in and day out, when traveling, when visiting, in the intervals of business. He wrote at sea on the wash-stand of a rolling ship, in the train on a blotting-book. He became recognized as one of the leading realistic novelists of his country and era; yet, after this untiring lire ot labor, he died as sir Walter Besant did, leaving a modest fortune that would have been doubled and tripled had he been .the proprietor of a fashionable soda-water and candy store. Some years ago one of the American reviews published an article called ���'The Confession of a Literary Hack," which created much talk as being a plain, unvarnished revelation of the wretched situation of the writers as regards pay. The "Literary Hack" did not profess to be a person of star- spangled talents, or international reputation. He was the hack journalist, reviewer, occasional story-writer, and producer of special articles. But he undoubtedly knew whereof he spoke. He contended that journalism and literature were amongst the worst paid professions in the world, and he appended a list of his yearly makings in proof of his statement. In later years, when distinguished, if illiterate citizens were writing memories and biographies, which the literary hack had to write over, he made as much as five thousand per annum. In less prosperous seasons his income ran down toward three. This amount was earned by the most ardous labor, many articles needing much study beforehand. Had he been an ordinary cleric in a bank, or an insurance house, he would have received as much, and in a business where he would have expended an equal amount of energy, initiative, and brain power, three or four times the amount. But it is not the pecuniary returns of ��� tiie profession of letters which is its fatal, alluring charm. Those who know Besant's forty thousand is not a princely Besant's forty thousand, is a princely renumeration for forty .years of hard work. Neither is tit the prestige which, in the common mind, apears to attach to those who woo- the muse either in garrets under the leads, like Zola, or on a hearth-rug of Russian sables, like Ouida. It is none of these things. It is the charm of hopeful uncertainty. The; passion of the gambler, wliose chances lie on the turn of a card, is not more' engrossing than the passion of the writer who does not know at what moment he may not produce the masterpiece of.the age.,This is the true, delirious, unescapable spell that writing casts upon its victims. No man or woman, who drives the pen for a living, or for a pastime, but knows its siren whispers. Everybody cherishes exemples of suddenly won successes; every one cherishes belief in himself as the being selected by fate to make those successes. A hundred failures do not dampen one's belief in one's star, for have not countless geniuses been misunderstood for years? Age does not dim this hope, for often in age the conquest of a vast publichas suddenly and blindinly come, as it did to Du Maurier.

The revolutionary steamers Daricn and Gaitana appeared on the scene soon after the engagement commenced. The lire of the Chucito was so well directed that it caused the revolutionary fleet to draw in towards the shore, where tho enemy's ships were protected by tho batteries. The Chucito and Boyaca 'then retired unmolested and arrived here at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. The General Campo was not engaged. The forces of general Herrera, the revolutionary commander are at San Carlos, ���!() miles from Panama. Contractor Lost His Case NEW YORK, January 29.���A verdict was rendered in the United States circuit court today in favor ot tho Baron do Hirsch fund, which had been sued by James Arthur, a contractor of Philadelphia, for $70,- WO. Arthur built houses for the fund at New Orange, New Jersey, under contract agreement, and claimed that this agreement had been broken. He asked for judgment for a loss of $53,000 and $17,000 interest. Arthur's attorneys gave notice of a new trial. More Trolley Car Victims PITTSBURG, January 29.���A report has reached the city that four people were killed and fifteen or twenty injured in a trolley car wreck at Wilmerding tonight. ; Big Clean-up in the Spring James Stables, M. P, P., representing the Cassiar district in the local house, is down from the north to attend the Liberal convention. Mr. Stables says a great deal of work lias been done on the creeks of Atlin this winter by the placer miners. On Pine creek and the upper banks there were at least 250 men, who were engaged in drifting, and all were getting out large lumps. Several tunnels have been driven for a distance of 200 feet or more, and all the miners are well satisfied with their prospects, although none can tell how much gold they have taken out until they wash their dumps in the spring. On Spruce creek there are as many men as on Pine creek���perhaps more���and Mr. Stables when he went over this creek about three weeks ago, found the miners well pleased with the result of their work. On Boulder, McKee, Otter and other creeks there are many placer miners at work with pan and rocker, and, all told, there is considerable work going on at Atlin this winter. None of the hydraulicing companies are working during the winter, but before work ceased they were all pleased with the results, and the managers talk of increased plants and larger outfits during the coming season. It is likely, too, that some new outfits will go into the district C. Capplice, of Butte, Montana, who has had a staff at work in the district, will increase his staff, and he is having a dredger built at the present time at San Francisco, which will be shipped in section to Pine creek in the spring. This dredger will bejised on the lower banks of Pine creek, near the mouth .of that water. The quartz miners are busy, and all have good prospects. The copper claims being developed at the south end of the lake are especially promising. The Engineer group has made a fine showing, and Mr. Stables has some good specimens of free milling quartz from his mine, which carried free gold in large quantities. The White Moose group, a free milling proposition, in which some Victorians are interested, was also turning out well, and the silver galena property on Fourth of July and Munro mountains were also showing up well. Much work was also being done with the Mother Lode, a free milling quartz proposition on Pine creek, and the Munro mountain quartz claims were soon to be extensively developed, arrangements having been made to that effect with an English syndicate. to to * * ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft &************************************************���************���****���**% 1890-BBTABHBHBD IN NBL8ON-10O2 Before stock taking this month a REDUCTION OF 10 PER CENT will be given on every dollar.

Arthur Mee, in a life history of king Edward VII., -whieh.-has=recently_been-publlshed^in=Lon_ don with the title ot* "King and Emperor," combats this general opinion. He says: "It is not diilicult to understand how the rumors of his poverty were set abroad. Tho special grant of diSCOUO a year in 1��>�� had probably something to do with It, but we owe it chielly, no doubt, to the prince's well known sympathy with the race, of Israel. The king has always been on excellent terms with the Jews, and it is an open secret that his sympathy has been misinterpreted. When he attended a Rothschild's wedding in 1SS1, there were not wanting those who deliberately misunderstood his presence in the synagogue, where no other prince had ever been since the llrst decade of tho century. It was maliciously imagined and openly suggested, that the prince had particular reasons for being friendly with the race ot* money-lenders, and tho talk ot* his being greatly in debt that tho prince thought worth while to contradict it. Sir Francis Knollys" the king's private secretary, declared that his master had no debts worth speaking of; that he could pay every farthing that he owed Immediately; that there was not a word of truth ln tlie tales of a mortgage on Sandrlngham; and that the whole thing was a ."fabrication, on a par with similar tales representing the prince as being assisted by llnanciers ot more or less doubtful honesty. "The truth is that from tho moment of his birth king Edward has been splendidly rich. He was born, as an Irishman would say, with ��00,000 in his pocket, and from that day until he ceased to be prince of Wales the duchy of Cornwall yielded that magnificent revenue. The king married at 22 and parliament gave him Marlborough House and -��40,000 a year as a wedding present. That, too, has come to him regularly since 1S03. In 1SS3, when the prince's family ran away with his money, parliament once more came to his aid, and nearly doubled the grant he had received since 1S03. For eleven years the king has been relieved of the anxieties of a father for the linancial welfare of his children by a special grant of ��3(1,003 a year, bringing his annual public income up to ��130,000 ($G80,000). That is what it is worth to be prince of Wales. But even that huge income is much within the mark of the real income of king Edward before he came to the throne, lt has been stated that the king has a private estate of ��100,000 a year, which would have made his annual income before his accession something like a quarter of a million; but not having authority for that statement, wo may leave it out of our reckoning. AU the world knows that the king has at least two private sources of revenue��� his estates and the turf. As prince of Wales ho won ��120 a week on the race course. Six thousand pounds a year represents the winning of his horses during ,the last ten years. And Sandrlngham, which was purchased out of his winnings, has a rental of ��7000 a year, bringing his Income as we know it to within ��1000 of ��150,000 a year. "That is the minimum, whatever may be the maximum, of the revenue king Edward enjoyed as heir to the throne. The man who would be poor on ��150,000 a year would be poor on a million. The house of commons, when the prince was receiving ��100,000 a year, Increased his allowance by ��30,000, but the grant was by no means unanimous, a fact which shows that a considerable section In parliament considered the prince as rich enough. Mr. Mee also recounts the grants to the prince for his' Indian trip: "The prince was seventeen weeks in India, and the bill came to over ��1000 a day. The admiralty spent ��52,000 ln taking him out and bringing him home. The Indian government voted ��30,000 to his reception, and the house gave the prince ��C0,000 as pocket money. A few years before the prince's visit to Canada had cost nearly ��70,000�����16,000 of which had been granted by parliament, and ��53,000 from the Canadian treasury; but as there was nothing in this grant of a purely personal nature, and as the greater part of it was made by Canada Itself, we may dismiss it from our reckoning. We are now able to form some Idea of the amount of money tne prince of Wales has had at his disposal during his lifetime. He was born with ��60,000 a year, set up housekeeping with ��100,000 a year, and from 18S9 to 1901, had ��150,000 a year. Parliament gave the princess of Wales ��10,000 a year on her marriage in 1S63, which totals up for thirty-seven years to ��370,000. So that we can now risk, and say with some approach to accuracy, how much money the prince of Wales has had at his disposal. Totaling up all his grants from parliament, his revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall, his rental from Sandrlngham, and incomes from other sources, we And that he has had enough money to make him a millionaire many times over in money. The account stands in rough figures something From Duchy of Cornwall ..��3,480.000 From parliament 1,936.000 From Sandrlngham estate 260.000 Ten years' winning on the turf..... 60,000 Total ��� ��5,736,000 Payments to princess of Wales .... . 370,000 Grand total ��6,106,000 "Six millions of money! Roughly, it is an income of ��100,000 a year through the whole of his life. Every day the king before his accession had an income of ��274 5s.; 'every hour ��11 8s. 3d.; every minute 3s. O'M. Every time the clock has ticked since the light of Albert Edward dawned upon the world, his wealth has grown by three farthings. It loks undignified enough brought down to farthings, but ��6,000,000��� fortv-five tons of English gold, more than the mint makes in a year���Is an income not to be desnised, even in these money-worshipping days.'" "Since his accession to the throne, even these princely wages have been increased. As Edward VII. he roc-elves ��385.000 f-1.- 925.000) a year, or a trifle more than ��1000, a day.

Macdonald, as arbitrator, has just handed down a decision in the matter of the controversy between Reddy & Jamison against Albert Klockman. He awards to Reddy & Jamison, as brokers, in the sale of the Continental group of mines $2500 and 49,000 shares of capital stock in the Idaho Continental Mining Company, the corporation organized to develop the property sold. This controversy grew out of the sale of. the Continental group, which was owned by Albert Klockman, and is located near Port Hill, Idaho. The property was sold to Duluth parties last fall through J. F. Reddy and A. C. Jamison, brokers. For his property Mr. Klockman received $250,000 cash and 499,000 shares of stock in the new company organized to develop the property. In the matter of settling commission, Reddy & Jamison asked $500 cash and 49,900 shares of stock. Mr. Klockman denied their right to that amount. He agreed that they were entitled to some commission, but wanted to give only HAH AND LAKE flTBK*-T8, *T_LSOW $2500: The parties entered into an agreement to settle their difficulty before Mr. Macdonald, as arbitrator, rather than to go into the courts. The agreement signed by both parties is to the effect that Mr. Macdonald shallde- ���cidc all matters in the controversy between tho parties after hearing the law and evidence, and that his ruling shall bo final, and neither party is to take any further proceedings. The opinion handed down by Mr. Macdonald this morning is quite lengthy and all the case is thoroughly reviewed. The arbitrator come to the conclusion that Roddy & Jamison are entitled to $2500 in cash and to 49,900 shares of the capital stock of the Idaho Continental Mining Company. Reddy & Jamison, by this decision, get all the stock they asked for, but get $2500 instead of $5000.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-31 |
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. |
