CREASE, | Solicitor for Applicants. On the 12th of December, 1900, the City of Nelson staked a piece of land on the south bank of Kootenay river for a site for a power station. Thirty days afterward an application to purchase the land was made, a survey having been made in the meantime. The lands and works department at Victoria received' the application, accepted the survey, and inserted the usual notice in the Official Gazette. The granting of the application was protested by Loren A. Campbell of RoBsland, manager of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, who had applied for a millsite which covered a portion of the land in the city's survey, but whose application had been rejected on the ground that the land was within, the Columbia & Western railway reserve. Campbell's protest held the matter up for a year and a half, the department of lauds and works apparently being unable to either fix a date for a hearing or get tlie attorneys of the two parties to agree, on a date. In the meantime, to strengthen his position, Campbell located a mineral claim on the land in dispute, and was careful to do'the work required on the spot the city had selected as the most suitable one on which to'erect its power station, which strange to say, was on the ground he had applied for a mill-site. The chief commissioner of lands and work��� finally fixed a date for a hearing before himself, at Victoria, and tho hearing was held on June 2nd,-1902. All the parties we're present. Campbell's attorney showed conclusively that the land in dispute was not in the Columbia & Western reserve, and therefore the government had erred in rejecting Campbell's mill-site application. But Campbell, in his eagerness to shut out the citjyhad gone to far. He had discovered mineral on the mill- site, and had located'a mineralciaim'on the strength of that discovery. The Mineral Act- explicitly says that a millsite cannot be obtained for land known to contain.-minerals. Campbell. Campbell." had -"--not-.-only located a mineral,claim overutv-s millsite,"but,}iad done the work necessary to apply-for a certificate of improvements, and secured such certificate.- In- order - to get. a certificate of improvements, the owner of a mineral claim, or, his agent, must make an affidavit that the mineral-in- placc has been discovered on the claim. Cempbell's agent a-well-known' provincial land surveyor at Nelson, had*- made the affidavit. So Campbell was up against it, and the city scored a point. But the chief commissioner of lands and* works was timid, and all the more so because be knew .that the attorney-general's department was inclined to stand in with Campbell and the West Kootenay Power & Light Company. He refused to render a decision when pressed to do so, and finally referred the whole matter back to the gold commissioner at Nelson. The gold commissioner at Nelson fixed a date for a hearing, and notified the parties to be present. * L. A. Campbell appeared on behalf of himself and the city was represented by tlie city solicitor. Accurate maps of all three applications had been prepared and were submitted, and these, even had there been no other evidence, told the story. L.. A. Campbell's application for a millsite was for a second time rejected, much to that worthy gentle- man's-sur-prise. The finding of the gold commissioner was sent to Victoria, aud the chief commissioner of lands and works decided that the city's application had been properly made, and ordered that a crown grant for the land be issued forthwith, and the crown grant reached Nelson and was duly registered in the Nelson land registry office on Monday forenoon of this week. While Campbell is entitled to his mineral claim, he must compensate the city for any damages he may cause the city through working it. His working shaft, so it is said, is on the site selected for the power station building, but it in not likely thatCampbell will spend any more of his company's money in mining land ov\ned by the'City of Nelson. He made a good fight for his company, but he relied to much on lawyers, and got himself into a hole from" which they could not pull him. Nelson has now a site for a power station, the people have voted the money ($150,000) to do the work, and it is up to mayor Rose and aldermen Irving and Kirkpatriek and Morrison to have the work done and done promptly, leaving the work of looking on to the three Beer aldeiman, who appear to be more anxious to "hold up'' (���he* member for Nelson riding than they are to uphold the dignity of the City of Nelson. The city engineer should now be at work on the ground making surveys and plans for the approval of "an hydraulic engineer of more than local reputation," an engineer like Byron C. Riblet, for instance, but the city engineer has been ignored entirely, and the only thing ordered done was to order the city clerk to write a letter to a man named Anderson through a man named Dickson. Yet everything comes to those, who have patience. By having patience, the Corporation of the City of Nelson obtained a crown grant for a piece of land that ia worth many thousands of dollars, and if the man who obtained the crown grant has patience he will probably be repaid the money he disbursed in obtaining the crown grant. If the people of Nelson have patience, they will get wha* they have been for two years patiently fighting for against great odds, that is, an up-to-date power plant that _ will make their city independent of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, Limited, of Rossland. SUCCESS CLUB DEBATES. The last session of the mock parliament of the Success Club was much livelier than any _of its predecessors. This may or may not have been due to the ciiticisms of the old campaigner, which appeared in the last issue of The Tribune,' bxit certain it Was there was more preparation shown by the speakers, the lack of which was one of the chief counts made against the budding statesmen. The consequence was the spectators got a great deal more entertainment than was furnished by any previous session of the parliament. Not the least enjoyable feature of the evening was the firm hold which the speaker maintained on the proceedings. He harf evidently given considerable study to the authorities .on procedure. Not only this, but he lias the appearance, which many years' experience has led the people of this province,'at least, to look for in' their speakers. Speaker Tuck literally fills ..the, chair, and while things are running along smoothly he smiles pleasantly down on the section of ^curtain pole^whichtdqes^duty.ifo^the mace" with' 'all"YKe''gooflr-fiii^ King Cole of the nursery book. , But to transgress the rules of the house is to stick a pin in trie spe-iker and. he at once becomes- as peppery ^,a's one could wish. He had a couple'of-eruptioiia1 of this nature during the,progress of the debate on Monday night, and during one of them informed the leader-of the government, with much asperity, that he did not propose to conduct ^parliamentary kindergarten frohi the chair. But taken all in all the speaker has proven himself a very desirable man for the position. " The budget was th�� first thing on the orders for the day, and in . presenting his annual statement finance minister Hansford made a very good speech. It was evident that he had made careful preparation, and he juggled the figures of the national account around with the agility of a trained performer. He claimed for the fiscal policy of the government that it was a perfect one for present conditions; but added that as the necessity for changes presented itself the government would be"found there to do the tinkering. The principal changes outlined in the speech were free coal, and increased duties for the lead and iron industries. In some very neatly turned sentences the minister painted 7W_o_rd j>ictu r es_of_Jh e_gro_w^ dominion is now experiencing and showed increased footings for all heads of account with the exception of the national debt. In the end he made the very pleasing statement that during the ensuing fiscal vear he would show a surplus of $14,000,000 in ordinary revenue over ordinary expenditure. This he did not for a moment suggest should be applied .to reduce the national debt. Instead he proposed to'make Canada trulv grent by providing it with an army and "a navy of its own. The provision made for the. navy was most generous, being half of the estimated surplus. For "the armv he proposed to devote another $3,000,000, the objective in this regard being the raising of the permanent forces in the dominion up to 100,- 000 men. If this was done he predicted tha dominion could lick any country which was not disposed to acknowledge its prowess. The later portion of the budget was given over exclusively to the attempt to show that peace and plenty could not be expected until the dominion liad an army and a navy. F. M. Black, the financial critic for the opposition, was the first to assail the government's position as outlined bv the finance minister. In the main he contented himself with trying to convince the members of the house that the finance minister did not'know the meaning of the figures he had reeled off in the course of his speech, and that he had not correctly stated the story which they told. As for the warlike programme of the government, he ridiculed it to the fullest extent. "With respect to the naval programme, he said. the dominion was debarred by treaty from having armed vessels on the Great Lakes, Where they might be of some use, and so far as the army of 100,000 men went, he intimated that the government had shown its incompetency to. handle to advantage the militia bodies already organized. Premier Clark was the next speaker. He was not very happy in his remarks. Things have not been going very smoothly with his government. For a- week past there have been rumors of dissentions in the cabinet over the warlike policy. Two or three of the ministers were absent from their places and their resignations may be announced at any time, as it is said they are- now practically in the hands of the premier. It is evident also that the disaffection has spread .to the rank and file of the government following, as the party whip had great difficulty in keeping a sufficient number in, their places to provide against an adverse vote. It is generally understood that an-effort is to be made . to patch up matters and the premier did not commit himself to such an extent as to impair the chances along this line. - He fenced all round the line of policy laid down in the budget, and there is little that he said which could not be made to do service in support of any changes which the exigencies of the present case may force upon him. ~G. C. Hodge, the leader of trie Populists, made a vigorous attack upon the government's immigration policy. In effect he sai 1 the government, was paying the highest known price per.settler for the pooreatclass of settlers. William Ebbs was the last,speaker of the evening. He stormed against the. army and naval psogfamme of the government. He argued that the* standing army was a waste of energy;'The Brit- - ish army was made up largely of Irish- , men, and in his estimation it was not necessary for the Clark or any oth'er government to ���offer inducements to an Irishman to fight. - -��� " v - Upon the conclusion-of-Mr. ,Ebbs' speech the debate was adjourned.

" - ' JOHN HOUSTON; Editor. . SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1903 Mayor Rose has a. duty to preform. His first duty is to carry out what he publicly pledged he would do if he was elected, for the electors took him at his word and returned him by a most decisive majority. He pledged himself to strict economy in conducting the business affairs of the city, and'in line with that pledge he has assumed the Power and Light Company successful -aa~against~the^city,~forU-.he.city's success means that none of their predictions ���and some of them were maliciously mean���have come true. -The members of the council who sincerely wished the city to be. successful do not seem to be able to ..take advantage of what has been gained. They appear as not only unwilling to push w.ork, bub willing that what little is. done shall be done by the men who opposed ��� the undertaking and are still opposing it. property. This resolution was sidetracked by the city clerk, who stated he could do the work without assistance. The second meeting of the city council was held on Monday night of this week, and the three Beer aldermen succeeded in undoing part of what was done at the first meeting and in doing something more besides. They succeeded in showing, with the assistance of what is known as the city hall gang, that two men could not do the city's clerical work, and the resolution which saved the city $960 a year was amended so as to practically uuljfy it. The Beer alderman who wanted time to consider the scavenger department did not report and none of the others deemed it of sufficient importance to warrant them in suggesting that the matter be taker* up and disposed of. But there was ono matter that was important. The city- had won out in its contest for land for a site for a power station, and tlie crown grant for the land was on the table tor the inspection of the three Beer aldermen. The three Beer aldermen did not like it, but it was there. But the three Beer alderman like the loaves and fishes, and the crown grant gave them visions of loaves and fishes, and a resolution was promptly passed to give the first of the loaves and.fishes to their friends. Tlie Progressive People's Party ate beginning to wonder where they are at. Some of them are in doubts as to who is managing the city's business. They want to know if it is really being managed br the three Beer aldermen with the assistance of the city hall gang. If it is, they want to know what mayor Rose and aldermen Irving and Kirkpatriek and Morrison were elected for. Everything comes to those who have patience to wait, and if the Progressive People's Party .will only have patience, they will probably see the "city-hall gang" hunting for jobs, aud the.three Beer aldermen "wondering how it is that iiiajorites rule. duties of medical health oflicer without At' the last city election there were two parties con testing for the offices. One was called the Progressive People's Party ; the other was called the Beer or Citizen's Party. The first-named had a policy, which was definitely stated in a published platform.. The last named had no policy, other than to oppose j anything and everything^ favored by salary. This is not pleasing to the physicians, but it is to the people who pay the taxes. He attempted to reduce expenses in both the clerical and scavenger departments, but, for the time y has been thwarted by the subordinate officials, locally known as the city hall gang, aided by the three Beer alderman. It is now the duty of mayor Rose to teach these officials that their only duty is to do the work they are paid to do. If they cannot do so without taking an active part in discussions at the sittings of the council or in interfering in matters that in no way concern them, then mayor Rose must suspend them in order to keep faith with the people who elected him. In the two weeks he has occupied the office, mayor Rose has had ample proof that he need not expect to be either faithfully or loyally served by any of the city hall gang, who backed up, as they are, by the three Beer alderman, imagine they can openly defy the mayor and draw their salaries regularly for another year. Mayor Rose, do your duty. The 415 ��lectors who placed you in oflice expect it of you. The city council of Nelaori do not appear to appreciate the fact that, a site for a power station has been secured. The Beer members of the council would have'preferred to see'the West Kootenay ��� the' first-named, as was clearly shown at the first meeting of the city council, held on Monday, the 19th instant. The first clash came on the consideration of a veto message from ex-mayor Fletcher, amessage���whielr-was-no-uiore-than~ar piece of waste paper, and should have been treated as such. The three Beer aldermen, namely, Bird, Hamilton and Selous, wished to place themselves on record, and they did so by voting as the ex-mayor would have voted had he been in a position to vote. The second clash came on a resolution directing the city clerk and the city treasurer to perform the clerical work of the city without the assistance of an' assistant clerk. This meant a saving to the city of $960 a year. The three Beer aldermen placed themselves on record in opposition. The third clash came ou a resolution cutting down the foi-ce in the scavenger department���-a department that is notoriously unsatisfactory in nearly every respect. The.resolution was side-tracked by one of the Beer aldermen asking for further time to consider the matter���which is a favorite method of the Beer crowd to obtain what they cannot get by direct methods. The fourth clash was over a" resolution appointing Thomas M. Ward assessor at a salary of $300 a year. The object of this resolution was to get an assessment based on a thorough inspection of Had the people of Nelson wanted the Beer Party policy carried out'in regard to the conduct of- the city's busine,*-* and public works undertakings they would have elected Mr.'Beer mayor. If mayor Rose and,the three aldermen elected-to support him are now of tlie opinion- that the Beer Party policy is a better one than that of the Progressive People's Party,, in ail l'aiiness, th��y should say so. Parties, like men, sometimes make mistakes, and it is just possible the Progressive People's Party made a mistake.in. announcing a policy that mayor Rose and aldermen living and Kirkpatriek and Morrison find it unwise to carry out. The Beer Party is credited with having made several mistakes before the election, but the men they elected to office have not been guilty of making the mistake since obtaining office of supporting the policy of the party who tried to keep them out of office. W. Smith, .a resident of the siding. Skinner's platform in that contest was cheap labor (Japanese) and long hours (repeal of the Eight-hour law), and it may be assumed that defeat has not changed his views. Of the 15 members of the executive, only one can be fairly classed as a practical mining man. That one is J. B. Hobson of Cariboo, who is undoubtedly a practical hydraulic miner. While he has not made a success of the companies he manages, owing, in some measure, to the difference in natural conditions existing in British Columbia as compared with California, yet he disclaims any ulterior motive in promoting the new association. He says he is not in politics and that he has found by practical trial that white labor is cheaper than either Chinese or Japanese. . lie says he wants the Placer Mining Act changed so that absolute title may be obtained for placer ground, as lie finds it difficult to obtain capital under the existing law, which requires placer and hydraulic ground to be worked under lease from the crown. It is only when men fail that they find it difficult to raise fresh capital to carry on their undertakings. Had Mr. Hobson's management resulted in regular dividends to the men who put up the money he has so far expended, he would have no diiliculty iu raising all the fresh capital he could use to advantage. The Tribune, however, conceeds that _Sl r. Hobson, at least, is honestly endeavoring. to obtain changes in the Placer Mining Act that, in his opinion, wiU help the hydraulic mining industry, but in doing so he has gathered around him too many men who are doing everything they possibly can to give the province a black eye. If Mr. Hobson is wise, he will immediately announce that he has severed connection with the Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia. One of the executive committee of "The Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia" is R. D. Pea the r- stonhaugh of Vancouver and Atlin. "He_is_the_man���who7"last���spriirg~hirecr Japanese in Vancouver, sent them to Atlin, aud attempted to work them in the mines which he manages for an English company. The people of Atlin took the bull by the horns, and Fealherstonhaugh's Japanese got return tickets to Vancouver. It may be assumed that Mr. Featherstonhaugh is yet of the opinion that it is "burden, some" to be required to-employ white men in the hydraulic mines at Atlin. Another of the executive; is A. C. Gall of Rossland. Mr. Gait is a lawyer and not a miner, but as he is the lawyer employed by the Center Star and War Eagle Mining Companies, it may be assumed that he is acting for that great pessimist, Edmund B. Kirby, manager of the Center Star and War Eagle mines. Mr. Kirby wants the .penalty clause of the Eight-hour law repealed, and he is most bitter in his denunciation of the 2 per cent tax. Another of the executive is li. B. Skinner of Vancouver, who has mining interests in Lillooet. Mr. Skinner is a politician, and made a try in 1900 for election to the legislative assembly from West Lillooet. He was snowed undei by A. Premier Prior and his attorney- genernl are in Ottawa on a wild goose chase. When they return to British Columbia they will find- a majority of the members of the. legislative assembly ready for business. The business' for which they are ready is a general election in June, the election to be conducted on party lines. If the people want colonel E. G. Prior to conduct their business as premier for four years they .will say so at the polls, and their wishes will be obeyed. .Snap or . makeshift governments do not last long, and it is probably a good thing for the countrv that they do not. The Prior government is a makeshift one, and it is one that is not satisfactory even, to the men who compose it; then how can it be a satisfactory one tp tbe country. The legislative assembly will probably meet the first week in March, pass the estimates for the year 1903-4, and be dissolved, so that an election can be held in June���at a time when none of the money appropriated for 1903-4 can be used for election purposes. Either the Conservatives or the Liberals will return a majority of the members��� there will be few hybrids���and a government can be formed that will eive the province a rest from the "knockers' British Columbia, the one province in the Dominion that has neither paupers nor poor-houses, has more than its sh are of''knockers'' and' 'yawppers." Most of these "knockers" and "yawppers" have some kind of connection with the mining industry, and the industry suffers accordingly. When men fail in other pursuits, they try mining, and in nine cases out of ten they ara greater failures in that industry than they were in other pursuits. When men fail to accomplish what they want to accomplish they organize associations, in order to let the public know that they are failures. Some two weeks ago a couple dozen of men who have failed to make money in mining met at Victoria and organized "the Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia," just as if the province had fully recovered from the damage it sustained from the "Mine Owners' Association," a somewhat notorious organization that existed for a few years at a time when British Columbia was suffering from a surfeit of organizations. The new organization has for its object the repeal of the penalty clause in the Eight- hour law, the employment of cheap labor (Japanese) in mines, the repeal of the 2 per cent tax, and changes in the mining laws to the end that crown grants may be obtained for all mining ground, whether placer, hydraulic, or quartz. It is strange that the laws regarding mining cannot be changed without a hue and a cry being raised against the province. Is this because so many of the men engaged in mining in British Columbia are aliens, not only by birth but in spirit? There is no law by which such pests can be exterminated ; butwerethe press to refuse to give their utterances circulation, the damage they do would be reduced to a minimum. The manager of the Crow's Nest Coal Company announces that the company has desided to go out of the store business. It will next be in order to announce that his company has decided to go out of the newspaper business. Running two newspapers' in British Columbia is more" unprofitable thaii running four stores. �� . BLANK and in evidence "yawppers" who are now so much A year ago The Nelson Tribune had the best equipped printing office in the province outside of Victoria and Vancouver. Now it has not even an inkr pot of its own. These are troublesprne times, and The Nelson Tribune hasiiacr its share of.troubles, the last one being settled on Wednesday of last week by Mr. Justice Martin at Victoria, when he refused to allow his associate judges to pass en one of his own orders or even allow the merits of the necessary motion to be presented by a lawyer employed for that purpose.

NEW MINING ASSOCIATION IS ROASTED TO A TURN. the province as any man in Victoria, and certainly a much better understanding of these laws than any man connected with the department of mines, not excepting even the head of the department, has taken the right stand against the recently organized Provincial Mining Association. The Colonist says the association starts out by warning people that British Columbia is not a good field in which to make investments in mines, because the mining industry is so loaded down with burdens that, the capital already invested has ceased to yield profits, and that these burdens are attributable to unwise legislation. Such a statement, the Colonist says, is not only untrue, but unwise to mane even if based on facts. An association whose first effort is in the direction of scattering broadcast most glaring falsehoods should not be encouraged even by those who believe the mining laws of British Columbia could be changed to tho advantage of the mining industry. One" of the Col onist's editorials is as follows: The Victoria Colonist, whose editor, statement therein made. I am very was a resident of Kootenay for nearly Hoath to believe that the statement in ten years and who probablv has as good ! quesfcon is the opinion of the mining an understanding of the mining laws of ?:*" nfhfe?y *n8t,?1T,,tal 1�� ?? pr��"10- 6 tion of the organization. It it is, and is an indication of their accuracy and discretion in dealing with mining matters in the future, then I am of the opinion it would be of advantage to the mining industry if they would at once cease their efforts. Among other objects set forth at their preliminary meeting, that of inducing the investment of outside capital in British Columbia mines, was the chief. What a remarkable inducement is placed before capitalists to invest in our mines in the statement under consideration ! What an excellent addition it would make toa proposal or prospectus to be presented for the g&a&a*.* &&&&&&&&0% aas-fefefe a^s-^M^ft^ MINERAL TAXATION. "One of the chief matters which those who condemn the mining conditions in British Columbia base their condemnation is the tax of two per cent, upon mineral output, and the great objection to the two per cent, tax is that it prejudices the mining and treatment, of low grade ores. The Boundary district of British Columbia produces the lowest grade ores in the province. During tlie year 1902 it produced over 500,000 tons of ore, and we venture to s^ly that the total contribution of all the mines in that country to the revenue of the province, through the two per cent, tax, was under $2,500, or LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF ONE CENT PER TON. Does not this fact (we believe, it to be a fact, and sooner or later it will be susceptible of direct proof or 'disproof) completely demolish the arguments as to mining conditions in British Columbia derived from the two per cent, tax? If tlie people who are making all this fuss about the detriment this tax causes to the mining industry wish to substantiate their case, whv do they not go to the Granby Consolidated Company and the B. C. Copper Company and ask them for a sworn statement of their contribution to the provincial revenue under the,two per cent, tax. These are the two lowest grade mines in the province. If the statements made by the pessimists are correct, the tax must hit them worse than anybody else. Let those agitators produce the figures for which we have asked, and show by indisputable demonstration the injury this tax is to the mining industry. Surely that is a fair request. Will they do it? AVe trow not. It may be said that if the. tax is such a trivial matter, and such a fuss is made about it, why not abolish it altogether? That we believe to lie very much the view of the present government. But the agitation will not stop there. The agitators have an invincible .method. "They raise a hue and cry about some matter of legislation in order to cover up their own mistakes, and when driven into a corner they say, -^Of-course-there-is-reall3'-nothing:in-it-; but consider the bad effect it is having on outside capital." All the time it is not the matter of legislation, but themselves, who are having the bad effect upon outside capital. This process may be indefinitely repeated over any matter under the sun. And it will'be indefinitely repeated until the people of this country, hopeful, energetic and ih- .dustrious, make it perfectly plain to all concerned that they are governing British Columbia, and not a job lot of pessimistic calamity howlers." The people of Victoria are great on writing letters to the newspapers when important questions are up for discussion, and the newly organized Provincial Mining Association comes in for its share of criticism from these letter writters. The following is one of the letters, and it shows that its writer ii well posted on the conditions that prevail in British Columbia regarding the mining industry: * MINING ASSOCIATION. "The Editor of The Colonist���Sir: Your editorial comments anent^the opening paragraph of the letter to the public, issued by the embryotic mining association, are timely and fully warranted by the remarkable inaccurate consideration of an intending investor And how frequently will'that same unfortunate assertion be presented by an investor to a promoter! Certainly the Mining Association has started its career by the perpetration of a huge blunder. Let us hope that steps will be immediately taken to rectify it. "If themines of British Columbia are discredited without our borders, we have the mining men and their newspaper organs cheifly to blame, aud their efforts have been ably aided by the promoters'of "wildcats" and the 'stock manipulator. For the past two years or more the press of Yale and Kootenay have been decrying the mining laws, and continually reaffirming that the two per cent tax was a deteriment to mining development. Irresponsible writers have dinned the same tale of woe into the ears of the British and American public through the medium of the foreign press. Triflers like Kirby have prepared misleading papers on the same subject, which have, been widely published. Incompetent or- extravagant or stock- manipulating mine managers have shielded themselves behind the same excuse. What wonder then with this wholesale chorus crying "sticking fish" that^ the mines and mining of this province are viewed abroad with distrust and a determination to keep out of such an unattractive field ! And yet so soon as the Le Roi was placed under honest and competent management, and- with the price of copper much lower than lormerly,that company is enable not only to pay this alleged iniquitous' two per cent tax, but became according to a Rossland dispatch, practically out of debt, and earned bv the mine and smelter the sum of $1-OOO'.OOO in 1902. ' Equally satisfactory results have been achieved by o,ther mining companies when their operations were conductedQon honest business lines. For some months past there has been a very satisfactory change in tue attitude of the mining press" of the Interior. The hard and unprosperous times of the past two years are changing to a period of prosperity, and-both mining press and people are consequently feeling more cheerful and reasonable. It is greatly to be regretted therefore* that the new Mining Association should have pei- mitted so unwarranted and injurious a statement as that contained in the opening paragraph of their circular letter, to be published broadcast. "The mining industry is no sooner rid of one unnecessary evil than another is thrust upon it by the" very people who should be the last to perpetrate it. The cry against the two per cent, tax has, through constant misrepresentation, become an actual detriment to the mining industry, because of the false impression that has been created in the minds of outside investors to ft. It will, -therelorcj-be-necessarj'-for- the���Legislature to devise some --ther method of collecting the inconsiderable amount of revenue paid by the metalliferous mines. That it will be satisfactory to the mine owners is very doubtful, for it would appear that all and sundry engaged in the industry of depleting the province of its mineral wealth are willing that every other industry shall be taxed for their special benefit. How ever, when the change is made, it is sincerely to be hoped that the mine "knockers," both journalistic and nondescript, will give the industry a chance to recover from their'former disastrous efforts. "That there are changes necessary in that portion of the Mining Act regulating placer mining, I fully believe; and if the Mining Association deals with the question in a proper spirit, by taking into consideration the general interests of the country and the industry itself, as well as their individual and selfish interests, the government and Legislature will most assuredly receive their recommendations and pass the necessary legislation to afford relief from present conditions. In the meantime let them abandon the rotten policy of decrying law and law-makers and give their, time and attention to suggesting amendments to the law which the experience of the past few years has shown to be necessary to the advancement of the industry.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-01-31 |
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. |
